Mexican Plan to Annex American Southwest	Coup_de_Grace	08/21/06
PAT BUCHANAN: "The nature and character of the invasion is far different than anything that used to happen. 58% of the Mexican people in one survey indicated they believed that the American Southwest belonged actually to Mexico. It was stolen from them. It belongs to them and I think that the Mexican government has a direct program basically to push it’s poor, unemployed, and uneducated into the United States for a variety of purposes. And one of them, in my judgment — in which I believe I documented it in the book — is an attempt at the reconquista they call it, the reannexation of the seven days states of the American Southwest, link linguistically, ethnically and culturally to become as much a part of Mexico is they are a part of America. And I think that is well underway. Filed under: Immigration Pat Buchanan on a radio talk show. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Waddaya think?
Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 08/22/06 7:31 pm: Micro and other revisionists, do you not understand how we came about our claim to the southwest US? Texas won its independence from Mexico in a war. Santa Anna imposed a new constitution and when Texans were refused their request to be bound by the freedoms of the old constitution they declared their independence, which was subsequently won in battle. After almost ten years as a Republic we joined the states. The US offered Mexico $15,000,000 for the vast majority of the southwestern US - California, Utah, Nevada, most of Arizona and parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Mexico had a hissy fit and wanted Texas back so we kicked their butts. Mexico ceded the territory as a condition for ending the war, and we still paid them the $15,000,000. The rest was purchased in the Gadsden purchase. We fought for it, Mexico gave it up, and then we paid for it anyway. They have no claim. Steve Clarification/Follow-up by paraclete on 08/22/06 11:49 pm: look here's a thought, if Mexico wants it back, ask them to make you an offer, after all how much can cactus and desert be worth Clarification/Follow-up by Coup_de_Grace on 08/22/06 11:54 pm: California is one. :D Clarification/Follow-up by paraclete on 08/23/06 12:02 am: is one what? cactus? desert? Let's face it Mexico doesn't have enough cash to buy California, but then the spanish population of California might have enough Clarification/Follow-up by EdwardTeach on 08/23/06 1:51 am: Can not buy land for your casino in Las Vegas for 15,000,000. Cheap price. Beads for LI, 15M for 1/3 continent. 3USD for gas. What goes round comes round.
