#1 One of the benefits of living in New Mexico is that the 'conquest' card played
by the Hispanics is usually immediately responded to by the original natives.
They have a very long and deep animosity towards their former rulers. Check -

this

and here.

No sympathy from the real first Americans.

#4 The Discovery/Times channel has been replaying a GREAT series about pyramids today. The Mayans and Aztecs were absolutely the most bloodthirsty tyrants I have ever see. Oceans of blood and hundreds of thousands of headless bodies cascaded down the steep temple steps of Aztlan. I'm not exactly looking forward to a return of all that.

#7 When are we going to realize that Mexico is an enemy nation and treat them accordingly?

#8 The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was the peace treaty that ended the Mexican-American War (18461848). The treaty provided for the Mexican Cession, in which Mexico ceded 1.36 million km² (525,000 square miles) to the United States in exchange for USD$15 million. The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.

So, calculating 18.25M with interest since 1848, what would be the amount Mexico would have to pay back [cash only] to renege on the deal?

#10 Just today I was visiting the Mexican-themed store of an ethnically Mexican US citizen friend. It was a small store, but packed with typical Mexican-style merchandise, and very busy.

It was mostly busy because the products offered therein are *better* than the similar products you can get in the chain stores. Superb location and very profitable.

In addition to employing half a dozen men, he also still works as a suburban gardener, managing a team of another half half dozen men, in the morning, when his partner is running the store.

He lives in the suburbs in a nice house that he and a team of his employees improved to be the nicest one in the neighborhood--think complete remodling inside and out.

Only his eldest daughter, of four kids, speaks some Spanish, as a second language. His second oldest daughter is a small business computer consultant. His older son is an okay high school student, who expects to go to college in a few years.

His new baby, a boy, is named "Frank", by the way, after a friend his wife had in the US Army.

And his sister is an illegal, who has lived with him for 5 years now. She can barely speak English. Except for the language thing, she would say that with of the rest of their family, they are Americans. Screw Mexico.

The Mexican-American thing can get complicated.

#11 Moose:
I guess next you'll be telling us that 20 million illegals here in the USA are a net-positive to our

health services,
prisons,
courts,
drug smuggling,
fake ID rackets,
schools,
infrastructure,
economy,
language,
borders
and culture!
