Please go ahead and do that. I'll be sure to let General Santa Anna know that you did so that you get credit.

Tyranny is clearly demonstrated in the Holy Bible, so, please, drop this attempt at revising history. My ancestors were not fools as I believe in the fall of man. Enough said.

Have you ever read "Don Quijote De La Manche?" They, the Spanish experts, say that it does not translate well into English.
Likewise, we should not risk any loss of the self evident and unalienable truths by having The Declaration of Independence translated over into Spanish.

If it's about repatriation of Hispanics, it needs to be the 1492 type.

Like I said, you are on vacation. Enjoy yourself. But please, don't come in here pretending to know something just because you have a few bucks in your pocket and can afford to travel.
Who gives a f**k? Patriots and Loyalists have nothing to do with Dallas, Mexico City, or anything relating to the future of Dallas, DFW, Mexico, or Mexico City.

Why you are even bringing this stuff up is beyond me. It is irrelevant.

Im am not on vacation. I travel overseas for work 8 to 12 times a year. I work for the airlines.

See, if this does happen, then the amount of Anglos will increase in DFW while the number of Hispanics will decrease. There will always be some mixture of the two cultures, indeed.

This again???

Your great migration is NEVER going to happen. Hispanics dont have to leave DFW to feel close to their culutre. They are already at home here. 1.4 million people in DFW speak spanish as a first language and 2 million people here are hispanic. DFW is a huge magnent for Hispanic magnent. Its also a magnent for other cultures too.

Get over your stupid idea that there will be a great migration. There will not be one.

In the United States, the criteria to use is the social contract. If things are to advance somewhere in the world outside of the United States, then the social contract will also have to advance. As it stands now, the United States is ground zero for the world's social contract: the relationship between the people and its government.
As you say, you clearly don't give a ****. You are a foreigner on perpetual vacation as it is obvious you have no idea what the social contract even means.

Look, if we are going to live in a never ending fiesta, why not compromise? In other words, we can compromise to be even happier so that we can all get fatter, drink more, and have lots more children. So, I'm thinking in everyone's best interest here. See, as a foreigner, you don't know more about my nation any more than I know more about your foreign nation. When I was a child, there already were a lot of Texicans (Mexican Americans) living in Texas. Have you ever washed your clothes at a washateria? Texas isn't becoming a transitional zone. It has always been one. As northerners have always look down on southerners in Texas, southern Mexican illegals move up here and then have the gall to look down on Mexican Americans.
Now, an alternative to celebrating in a never ending fiesta is getting serious about the political situation going on in Texas. Like I said, The Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Constitution do not translate well from English into Spanish. The idea that someone is trying to make Spanish the official language of the cities of Houston and San Antonio is surely to make a lot of people more sober.
See, the idea of a mass migration is a thought that many can entertain. If you are a Mexican American, then why not move south to Houston and San Antonio where Spanish is the official language? If I am an Anglo living in the Houston area, why not consider moving north where I won't have to learn Spanish? See, before people get serious about doing something, they first have to be entertained with the idea. That is what I'm doing now. I'm entertaining.
Listening to you, I wouldn't want to hire you to work for my company. Now, I might have no choice in the matter as companies today have to fill a quota. So, it really doesn't impress me in the least when you say that you fly a lot.

Not really sure where you get off calling an American a "foreigner." We all understand this "social contract" theory that you're espousing, but you apparently are unable to comprehend that none of us are buying it because it's based solely on your own personal prejudices and does not acknowledge facts that you choose to simply ignore based on your own biased worldview. You might try a different forum, because you don't have just a whole lot of credibility left in this one.

I wouldnt work for you because youre a racist bigot with conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality. I refuse to spend my time around people like that.

You can call me a foreigner if you wish because I like the idea that we dont come from the same place, but I was born in the US (Torrance Memorial Hospital in Torrance, California). I am not a Mexican. I am mostly middle eastern, but my grandfather on my dad's side has his roots in Oklahoma for generations.

There is not going to be a mass exodus, ever. DFW's fate is sealed. It will continue to become more Hispanic. Its not changing. People dont listen to conspiracy theories like yours.
