The land belongs to the people strong enough to take it and hold it.It was taken in war and it is held by power.The USA belongs to Americans.And that's a fact,its not what you want to hear but it is a fact.Nations all over the world were formed thru war.Its a historic fact.This is 2006 not hundreds of years ago.You cant change the fact that we are here ,we own the land,its ours and we aren't going anywhere.This tired old argument has been hashed and rehashed,Its old like the playing of the race card.It means nothing.Come into the new century.We live in the present not the past.I love this nation and will defend her with my last breath.You are not enslaved you are on this computer free to say what ever you want.Where are you enslaved my friend?

I know you were not made to marry any slave master's son, so cut the garbage. The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery in 1865. Importing slaves was made illegal in 1808. Black Americans make up about 14% of the US population. There are estimates ranging from 7-50% of these are actually descendants of slaves held in the US. Can you prove descendancy from any of these.
There were approximately 900,000 people living in this area in the late 1500's. The settlers from Europe did not come here illegally. There was no unified country, with statutes and laws in place governing immigration or migration of any kind. We now have an established country with 300,000,000 million people living in the United States. We have diverse cultures, but are unified by our federal government. Laws are established to avoid anarchy. Good law-abiding people are welcome to the United States. These are the people that obey laws, legally employed, pay taxes, learn the common language and embrace the unifying culture of becoming a citizen of the US (commonly referred to as American).

Yes the land was already occupied before any of the new settlers arrived here. But history shows that land can also be gained if battles are lost or not defended. Obviously the indians were no match for the new settlers so people can argue that the land was stolen from them but if you cant defend your land you will ultimately lose it. The rules are alittle different now these days but still the same concept. If a war is won, the winning party draws up contracts and although they dont claim the losing party's land, they will occupy it and rule in their favor. Perhaps set up their military dominance there.

Yes, the north and south American continents were peopled upon the arrival of the Europeans. Life is not always fair and history is filled with one group exercising superiority over another - without just cause. The Emancipation Proclamation released everyone in the United States from bondage in about 1863. I seriously doubt that anyone alive today has been enslaved in this country or forced to marry.

.What was done is done. But that does not mean we should let another nation come in and take what we have built. Mexico has filled its peoples heads up with an agenda. Come here send our wealth away.Squat until enough can get here to make a difference then politically give the land to Mexico or Make the US part of it. They are an invading Army. They only didn't bring guns.

I could almost (ALMOST) understand your theory if we were trying to be taken over only 10 years after the Americans settled. It has been America for over 200 years, so your theory is ignorant.
If the home you live in was previously occupied, then it must not be YOUR home. You are just borrowing it until the previous owners decide they want it back. Who cares that the house has been in your family for 100 years. Too bad. My grandpa owned it first. Therefore, it's mine.

Your opinion is your own. The Laws of the United States of America are another thing... illegal is illegal!
Did you marry the slave masters son? Did you like it?
Did he make you cut the grass?

You are mistaken. This land is America. We took it and now it's ours. Soon people will wake up to the "silent invasion" and realize that if we don't want American to turn into Mexico that we have to limit immigration and focus on assimilation rather then embracing diversity.
