The Mexican-American War began in 1846 and formally ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Under the treaty, México ceded most of what is presently the American Southwest, including the present day states of New Mexico and California, to the United States for $15 million (Adjusted according to the CPI = $326,666,666).

Mexico's territorial Governor encouraged American ranchers to settle in Texas in order to increase trade between the countries, that is until Mexico City saw an opportunity to tax, when the ranchers refused the Mexican Army attacked.

Taylor took his 5000 men against Santa Ana's Army of 20,000 strong and shoved them back to Mexico City in 14 months. Sorry, start a war and get your behind kicked, well that's just the way it goes. We didn't have to give them squat, but we gave them over a quarter Billion dollars (today's money) for the land and they complain it's still theirs?

no, the ones who kicked behind complain that its theirs. mexicans arent complaining, theyre just crossing over. and theres really nothing you can do about it, lol.

I do tend to agree with you. But, most will stay away without the prospect of any work. Maybe then they will grow some gonads and collectively kick their most corrupt government into the ocean.

Since all the oil revenues go to the Government, where's the money go?

well, theyll always have work here. cheap labor is hard to turn away.

itd be great if mexicans could fix their country. i agree.

State laws can be quite effective as evidenced by Arizona's success. As more states follow suit, and they will, the down turn in the economy and the loss of property tax revenue will force that hand, more states will follow suit.

In California 44 state senators and assembly people are termed out, many of them the worst of the worst of the socialists. These would including Fabian Nunez, "One Bill" Gil Cedillo (Famous for introducing one bill each year, driver's licenses for illegals), Don "If you don't like illegal immigration your a cracker" Perata, and far to many to mention here. Thank you California for sending Proposition 93 down in flames. They may block, temporarily, Assemblyman Bob Huff's Illegal Immigration Reform Package, but when they're gone......

We'll be back!

I think that it's time to start using profiling as a very useful tool to purge illegal aliens out of the general hispanic population. Legal hispanics have also forfeited the right to act indignant over being asked to show proof of their legality. Legal hispanics allow illegals to live and move freely amongst themselves in the hispanic community. The legal hispanics pretty much know who the illegals are and where the illegals live, but legal hispanics almost never turn the illegals in. This is all per my legal Mexican American son in law. Because we have the 20 to 30 million illegal alien, mostly Mexican, invaders crisis, ICE should be allowed to go into an area of suspected illegal aliens and ask for proof of citizenship from everyone who looks hispanic just because they look....hispanic.

The open border pro illegal lobbyists have long argued that breaking in illegally and violating the sovereignty of the US by illegals is no worse than a mere 'speeding ticket'. So, in the same vein, profiling all hispanics "just" because they allow illegals to live freely amongst them, is likewise, no worse that a 'speeding ticket'.

Check your credit reports SOON!

Identity theft, tax fraud, forged documents, perjury. Those are the laws broken by Illegals working regular jobs, unless they are day laborers working for cash, which is still income tax fraud.

Congress will make the difference. If your tired of doing without to pay the extra taxes for illegals who shouldn't be here in the first place. Tired of seeing your kids held back in school while waiting for the illegals kids to catch up from the poor education down south of the border. Tired of waiting up to 8 hours in the emergency room while illegals use it as a free clinic. Go to the website below and click on your state. You will see where the reps and senators from your state stands on immigration. Not what they say, but a score compiled from the way they actually voted. Congress won't do the right thing on their own. They need to hear from us!
