I have an old car, I sell it, and the person I sell it to fixes it up really nice. Several years later I decide I want the car back, and since it was mine in the first place I have a right to it, even if they did give me good money for it. So I break into the car and won't leave because it was mine in the first place.
Is that a good equivalent for what pro-illegal Mexicans are saying? Notice I said Mexican’s, I do realize there are other illegals in this country but none of them are claiming that we stole this land from them.

I think that is pretty close, yes.
Or, since the people claiming it aren't even descended from people who lived here (those here became Americans) you could also liken it to:
Germany was once part of the Roman Empire, which included Iraq and Jordan. My heritage is German. Therefor the oil in Iraq and Jordan belongs to me, rather than to the Persian empire types who later took over.
Ridiculous.

This time your right nobody stole the land from Mexico this is the USA and that's it, however I support illegals that are here already, and also support that the needs to be done something with 2 things:
1. The borders we need to secure the borders a lot more.
2. who ever hire illegal people maybe needs to be responsible for a) The welfare of his employees. b) the taxes too I think if the employers are hold responsible for that, they maybe think before they hire an illegal v/s a not illegal

I disagree. I think illegal immigrants create economic problems as well as security threats though. I don't think they are claiming anything. I just think they are trying to make a living. Problem is, it's taking jobs away, as well as a whole lot of federal funding.

I have never, ever heard anyone claim that we stole America from Mexicans. Native Americans, yes, and we did. Mexicans, no.

**piper you haven't obviously been here long enough to know sh*t!***
This sums it up as well as anything.
My analogy was this
" someone breaks into your house and decides to move in and now you have to feed them,clothe them,house them,see to their education.All of this at your expense.You may not ever kick them out because since they got in they now have squatter's rights".
This makes a hell of a lot of sense.
KICK THEIR A$$ OUT!!!!!!!!!!!1

lol well going by some peoples logic on here you could just steal it.....it would be the persons (the person you sold it to) fault for not securing it!!!! (I kid you not, someone actually used that argument!!!)
BTW I'm so tired of the "we stole their land" argument....we know there is not truth in it.....

no it doesn't sound right... there's big difference between owning a car and claiming stolen land.. No Mexican want to kick out whites, blacks, asians, etc. out of the Southwest..

No actually the business owners (owner of the car) is inviting the old owner (Mexico) to go have a nice ride in their car because they know how to appreciate it more than his lazy, whining neighbors.
