Mexico lost the war and the land. The end. Those people are on some stupid crap. The border crossed us. Chicanx? Reparations for Mexicans?
Should this gentleman receive 5m in reparations? Any chance his world view got influenced by "critical race theory"?
They lost the war, while the US wrote a Treaty they both signed as a binding agreement. Those living on the captured side could declare themselves as US citizens with rights afforded by the Constitution. The only thing any American will agree upon is Property Rights. Historical hindsight did not agree with that interpretation...
Can you provide a legally binding contract signed by nations and the requisite titles to prove said victimhood? Even Tramp thinks we're a nation of laws, but let me just fart **** for things i disagree about and forget the finer details of what we supposedly base our national identity on.
How is it binding? Who's going to make them hold their end of the agreement? Is it common for a conquering nation to hold their end of the bargain when they don't have to? I ask because I don't know.
Any treaty signed and ratifiied is considered law by the Constitution. I'm no legal or historical expert on this matter but I found an article detailing the circumstances. Seemed like they lost out on a lot of court decisions through cultural/legal differences, fraud, outright racism, and murky marital claims. https://www.nps.gov/articles/latinothemestudylaw.htm
Crazy person on NYC subway...wow. You have indeed gotten to the bottom of this shocking development. Good job!!! You just have no frame of reference at all to actual humans.
Yes. Currently there are still several issues regarding Native American treaty rights that are still be contested. These are treaties the US government made to tribes to surrender and go to Reservations many of which have never been fully lived up to by the US Government.
It's just not that big a deal. What if he was in London? What if he was in Houston? What if he was in Pittsburgh, PA? Then what would you do? 'Cus I ain't got time for that now.
No, Fritz, I don't think anyone should be given $5M. I also don't think anyone should be given a unicorn. Both are equally as likely to happen.
They know that it's a troll proposal yet they get all worked up about it. It's really sad how right wingers are bigger snowflakes than progressives. I'll keep you in my prayer @AroundTheWorld
