That's sure evident from all of the geographical names in Spanish...

Curious though when the mestizo Mexicans try to claim that because of the Spanish geographical names seen widely in the southwest that it somehow means that Mexicans themselves were a large influence and presence there. There is a huge difference between the Spaniards who came here from Europe that settled here and the mestizo Mexicans who are of mixed blood and whose tribal ancestors were not indigenous to the southwest. They keep trying to make that stretch though.

Good question. It was the Spaniards from Europe who did, not Mexicans.

Sure is a reach, isnt it? You might see an anchor baby whose parents came here illegally 25 years ago from Oaxaca and are 3/4 Zapotec Indian claiming that we are "trespassing" on "their" homeland. Darned if I or any thinking person can see the logic in that claim, but the radicals keep trying.

His primary goal is comprehensive immigration amnesty - I mean reform - for all the illegals here.

That was Reagan's goal. Cheap labor for all U.S. companies.
