#1 I sure would appreciate somebody explaining to me when Mexico and the U. S. were allies. Perhaps during WWII like we were allies with Stalin, but aside from that, we've never ben allies.

#2 When has Mexico ever been an ally, vs hostile enemy and economic opportunist?

#3 Mexico has never really been an ally or an enemy. They have just sort of been just there. Being mediocre and blaming the Yankees for all of their self-made problems.

#4 Being mediocre and blaming the Yankees for all of their self-made problems.

That perfectly describes 95% of the world.

#5 hostile enemy

I was thinking of the 1840's when active shooting was going on. Also late 1830's-1840's when there were military clashes between a new Texas and Mexico. Anyone forget the Pancho Villa raids?

#6 As a 3rd-gen hispanic, I think this article is jingoistic, nationalistic and RIGHT ON THE FUCKING MONEY.

I can't stand mexicans. Neither the rich ones that come over and act like they're god's gift to our economy, nor the poor ones that hitch up to the wagon and ride her for all they're worth.

You want in?
You pendejos get in like my great-grandparents and you work your ass off.
