TRANSLATION: Anyone in America who is against liberalism/progressivism/democrats is a Russian bot/agent. I'm seeing that by the Left all over on this forum now.
Just the stuff you guys post gets folks to think “ah jeez, go get some air or something”..
This whole thread wreaks of some paranoia.

All the problems were created with the help of us, and anyone in power since the war on drugs started. The US, Mexico and other countries further south helped create a monster.

Now it’s all come home..

Typical liberal lefty and ethnocentric response to defend Mexico for creating its own ills.

Mexico does not have nukes pointed at us. Mexico isn't trying to drop bombs on America. When I go to bed at night, I don't think "oh man, the Mexican government is going to get us". To me, this is a loony conspiracy theory.
Agreed. They are just a really bad neighbor and we are stuck with them.

Not defending the Mexican Government. But not excusing the U.S. either.

Mexicans have been part of the Southwestern US landscape for hundreds of years. Their history in these lands pre-dates the arrival of the Gringo. Tejas (Texas), California, Nevada, Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico), Colorado, and Arizona are all Spanish named states. Many of our cities, famous landmarks, mountains and mountain ranges, were also named by their ancestors. We share a rich, and at times turbulent history with our southern neighbor, but they're not our enemy.

Boy, that sounds awfully creepy of you --- eyeing women like that.

Their citizens are our enemy if they come here illegally. One only has a right to be in a country they were born in or naturalized in or were accepted as a legal immigrant in. My ancestry goes back to Germany does that I mean I have to the right to take up residence there without their government's permission even though I was born here? I don't think so!

I actually started a thread on this and it got shut down awfully quick: //www.city-data.com/forum/polit...democracy.html


This is what prompted me to start that thread: Mexico is the real threat to our elections, not Russia

Only 9% of people with Mexican heritage in the US trace their roots back to the SPANISH (turned "Mexican") settlers who were here when the US obtained the territory.



The rest of the 91% of Mexicans that moved here afterwards (and especially the ones STILL IN MEXICO) don't get to base a perpetual claim and "first right" to live in the US because of that. Anymore than we let Spaniards settle in the US without adhering to immigration laws. Despite the fact that THEY were here before the entity known as MEXICO even existed.
