Just because they didn't have the same name doesn't make them different people. People have lived in lower North America & Central America since 1800 BC or earlier. Would you like citation?
Actually, evidence suggests that both eskimoes & people like the Aztecs could have very well originated from the same area. There is also evidence that suggests the Maya may have been as far North as present day San Diego.

Please provide this evidence. You know, one of those links or citations you claim nobody else gives to nullify your fallacies.
The Mayan were in, the now Southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, to include portions of now Honduras area, of Central America, there is no known discoveries that have ever placed them further north than what is Oaxaca Mexico today. The only people claiming they made it as far north as San Diego are those claiming Aztlan and are usually Chicano Nationalists and they claim it based on Language.

Most of the arguments being made against what I've said are simply misinterpretations of what I said. People are splitting hairs with my words. Perhaps my explanation is poor, but you know what I mean.
How can what you state be mis-interpreted, you said what you did, no?
Splitting hairs? Try completely disproving you fallacious claims.
How can we know what you mean if your explanation is poor?
You are so full of self contradictions you haven't a clue as to even what you are attempting to say, let alone what you have said.

If you had all payed closer attention to what you read, you would see that my gripe is not just that Mexicans are denied free entry to land that was taken from them, but that everyone acknowleges the theft of the Native American's land & small forms of recompence have even been enacted due to this acknowledgement, but everyone disregards & even denies the same exact situation with the Mexicans. If I'm wrong about anything I've said at any point & have not yet addressed it, show me. Give me something better than just your disagreement. Something I can't deny. If you're so sure I'm wrong, you must have real, concrete proof.
No land was stolen from Mexico. They were paid $15 million for what lands they shortly held in the Treaty of Gudalupe Hildalgo.
As for the tribes that were indigenous to this country they have their sovereign lands within our borders and are full fledged U.S. citizens. I don't hear their descendants complaining about the past.
You need proof of the treaty and monies paid to Mexico by the U.S.? I thought as LR pointed out you are into history. Yet you don't know this?

Your correct in the areas you mention, that the Mayan civilization were in. Call me dumb i may be, i live in Calif, how come i am not smart enough to know that San Diego also was a known area, i did not know that!
I remember seeing a program on them one year, never heard San Diego mentioned.
Alright. I'll try to respond to as much as I can here. This is the type thing that has 2 sides & where you're from, along with other components influence how you learn about & view certain things. For instance, the predominant belief throughout most of America is that The Civil War was fought over slavery & even schools teach this, however, people in some areas know that the war ocurred initially over land disputes & an attempt to divide The US into two seperate countries & slavery only became an issue a couple of years into the war solely because England threatened to cease their support in the Union effort if slavery continued in the country.
This issue is like that one, in that there are two ways to view it.
To the man who hinted that this is getting off topic, the original topic was much broader than the title explains & the conversation has evovled.
Yes, I understand that those are Spanish words. Do you understand that Spanish is the language spoken in Mexico, champ?
Mexicans were here before the Spanish arrived. The oldest civilizations on this continent were from Mexico. They were here before anyone. Modern Mexicans came about through mating of Spanish people & tribes or communities native to Mexico
No, Spanish people are NOT white. Neither are Italians. They do not originate from the Caucasus Mountains. They are NOT Caucasian. Their natural complexion is darker.
Just because we weren't around to see it happen doesn't mean it doesn't matter. That is true ignorance.
The Southernmost Western states were not bought, traded, given to, cooperatively. Merged with the US. They were stolen and I guarantee most of you don't even realize how many US states used to be Mexican territory.
You're wrong. Their have been cases where Native Americans were not tried in any sort of US Court, but instead were tried by their tribal leaders for crimes as serious as murder.
Note, I will not respond to you if you just simply tell me I'm wrong & provide no explanation for your opinion or just insult me & say nothing of any weight to the conversation.

Duh, let's see , #1 straw man argument #2 tu quoque argument #3 Stupid statement. Unless you let me borrow your ouija board, I don't know what you
mean.
Hazleton is an anomaly among small cities ... even for Pennsylvania. It is situated at the southern tip of a fairly-large county which has seen better days, but it is not the county seat. That would be Wilkes-Barre, which has plenty of quirks of its own .... the "kinds for cash" private-juvenile-prison scandal, the George Banks and Wolseifer murder cases, the Cabbage Patch doll riot ....and all the rest.
It's a gritty place where a dwindling number of aging, mostly second- and third-generation Eastern European white ethnics clash with a young Latino influx. There is a good deal of "new" industry -- almost all of it beginnging with a huge supply of micro-managed, intense physical work in call centers, warehouses and the like. The labor unrions haven't gotten very far, and aren't likely to.
Mayor Barletta, BTW, got himself elected to the US Congress back in 2010. And Tim Holden, the last Democratic Congressman representing any part of the state with a rural population with the exception of John Murtha (Johnstown) lost his re-election bid in last week's primary.
The point, I suppose, is that in politics as in everything else, most actions spawn an opposite reaction, and the growing grass roots / populist "conservatism" in rural Pennsylvania is one more example.
