california was a part of mexico why is it wrong for mexicans to live here?

Question

i mean indians where here before all of the americans. im so not a racist my fiance is white and im mexican but im curious how can you all be that naive. native indians are the real americans. dont you think?

Answer 1

im cherokee indian & i appreciate your point of view i personally think we should just take over all of mexico & make it part of our country maybe then a couple of mexicans would stay there

Answer 2

Wait... what's your question?

I don't understand.

Let me answer each one.

It's not wrong for Mexicans to be here; the point is, Mexico lost the war, so due to the arrangements made after the Mexican-American War, California is now part of the U.S. I mean, that's just politics. It's not necessarily "wrong", but due to this decision, any Mexican coming here illegally is an illegal (and I'm an immigrant too, just not Mexican).

Yes American Indians were here before all of the Europeans came over and defeated them in (admittedly unfair and unprovoked -- however, keep in mind that the Mexicans had a full standing army and that internal conflicts prevented the Mexican-American war from going on further) war. Thus the Europeans who established a new order in North America became the rulers. Unfair, maybe, but it's what happened.

I'm so not a racist either and my girlfriend is Chinese, so therefore, I'm not racist, but I'm curious as to how this statement relates to your question (or my answer).

Finally, to the last part of your question: No I don't think native Indians are the real Americans. They're from India; native Americans are the real Americans. But then again, anyone living in the United States of America (I guess for some amount of years, enough to establish a home or something), is an American.

Answer 3

Nothing wrong with Mexicans living here, but the problem is they are not coming here to become Americans, they are on a Jihad to turn America into Mexico, which would be bad, which is why they keep flooding in, because it's bad there.

A country is defined by its borders, its language and its culture. A country cannot have two languages, that always leads to civil war. Since the white folks are not reproducing very well, soon the Spanish-speaking Legislature will put the last of the English-only folks on the reservation, like we did with the Indians.

Probably in the Dakotas.

What needs to happen is for USA to put a lid on the pressure-cooker by sealing up the borders. This will eventually cause all the people who don't like Feudal Serfdom (which is why they flee to America now) to have the REVOLUTION Mexico needs before it can really be itself, which could be beautiful.

Then we can open the borders again and treat each other as equals, because we have all grown up.

Answer 4

the guys with the most guns have the last word,
Spaniards as well as British stole land Or conquered natives all over the world

,the Natives always lost usually their lives as well as everything else.

Mexico has a bigger Indian population because they were forcibly converted to Christianity,and used for labor

,In the USA they were usually killed and the survivors put into reservations

the Spaniards stole California from the Indians and the Americans stole it from the Mexicans.

but this process has been going on everywhere for ever

the French (Normans) stole England from the Pict's and Celts
and today German royals rule it

so however sad the California story is for to days Mexicans and Americans,it is not a new phenomena
Although the Native Americans probably had it the longest time

it has recently been discoverd that a large Indian population in the USA have genes from french cave dwellers that made specific flint arrow heads, who must have come over during the last ice age,and not from Russia as was originally believed.

it is even believed that Phoenicians also made the journey.

Irish priest as well as Vikings were also among later visitors, way before Columbus.

so who owns california .as I said before the guys with the most present power,

and that is coming into question since most of the labor is being done by the passive invasion of Mexico.

Answer 5

Who said it was wrong? No one I know believes that Mexicans shouldn't be here. I think the issue is of legal citizens and illegal immigrants. You are the victim of naivete. Because of your proud heritage, you can't see the drain that the illegal population causes. It negatively impacts our roads, our hospitals, and our schools.

The Mexican culture is rich in history and beautiful. Their government has failed them, however, which is why so many Mexicans desperately and understandably try to eke out a living here. I do not blame the illegals for wanting to improve their lives and the lives of their families, but I do hold both governments accountable for allowing this situation to reach the breaking point.

Peace.

Answer 6

There is nothing wrong with Americans of Mexican decent living in California legally. That has never been the problem. Illegal immigration is the problem.

P.S. We conquered California. We took California. We make the rules.

Deal with it.

Answer 7

California was (past tense) part of Mexico that is the key. I am not naive, so that dispels that myth about all of you being...Well, no one is able to really answer the Indian question. Any one that tries gives a lame answer.

Answer 8

We not only conquered California, we also paid Mexico for it afterwards. Did the Mexicans pay the Maya?

Answer 9

it is not a matter of not wanting Mexicans in California. The point is did they come here legally? there are laws in the U.S. We all must obey them are be prosecuted, or removed, which ever the case maybe.

Answer 10

No, No, no no. This is like buying a ticket for a movie theater and then going back the next day and expecting to get in again on the stub.
