I know all of this.YupSo you think all of the US belonged to Mexico?You DO realize, don't you, that almost a third of our country was Spanish-Mexican before we invaded and took it?
They can't even take care of their own country.....what makes you think they can take care of ours too?
Did you read what I wrote?
Who do you think Mexico stole California from?
FYI......we bought California from General Santa Anna.
FYI....not exactly....https://www.history.com/topics/mexican-american-war/mexican-american-war
Too bad if your leftist tendencies blame only white folks for what you perceive as a land grab.
Every country on the planet used to belong to someone else who lost a war.
America isn't the only one.
Russia used to be alot bigger until their economy collapsed and they couldn't hold on to all of the countries they occupied.
Now you communists sympathizers want the same thing to happen here because you think brown people have been abused by America.
Problem with that is brown people run their governments and THEY are the ones doing the abusing.
The list is pretty long too.
It is all old history, and we grabbed a lot of land. So did everyone else. The point I was making is that the arguments of you nativists, who seem to think our history and culture was entirely made by English speaking Western European immigrants completely ignore the huge chunk of America that was settled and culturally defined by Spanish speaking people. That is America too.
Nothing to do with who is abused by who, but rather the reality of who we are as Americans.
