Nope, there were no immigration laws back them to deem anyone illegal. Nice try though. BTW, would you consider the natives who came down from Canada into New York illegals as well?

Obviously they don't. It's just a word they were told was bad when referring to a person.

Hispanics are great Americans. Mostly Catholic and family oriented. We are lucky to have them!

The Europeans acquired syphillis from the Native Americans. Maybe you meant smallpox?

I seriously doubt it one of his marriages was to a Portuguese noble woman Filipa Moniz Perestrelo but we are expected to believe she married the son of a weaver. That wouldn't have been an acceptable marriage.

You seriously doubt he was Italian? He was born in Genoa, Italy. So.... he's Italian.

100% agree.


It is NOT a race. It is NOT an ethnicity. Anymore than "European" is an ethnicity. Or "Anglophone" is a race or ethnicity.


The category of "Hispanic" exists only in opposition to the Anglos/Gringos. It also leaves out those Latin Americans who are NOT Spanish speaking. Of which there are a couple hundred million.
