[Vision2020] Words Bring Pause

[Pat Kraut]

What did I say that makes you think I do not know this history? This is
today not 1846 and those living in the SW or former Spanish states are not
going to give it back especially since it was won in a war. This is current
event not history.

Pat, don't forget that in 1846 the United States made war against
Mexico and grabbed almost half of their country: what is now New
Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, and Nevada. There was also talk
about conquering Canada. The slogan of the Polk campaign was "54 40
or fight!" This is the latitude of the southern end of the Alaska
Panhandle. The US bought, not conquered, Alaska from Russia. But
wiser heads prevailed and Canada was not conquered as well. Please
learn your history, Pat.

Why now? Because the illegal aliens crossing our southern border are
getting
more than pushy about Spanish. Pay attention, there is a growing
group of
them who want all the land that was Spanish back and are willing to
go to
war over it. Did you notice all those Mexican flags protesting? When
all our
ancestors came they were ready to give up their culture and become
Americans
for the most part. This group wants us to become them and eliminate
us and
who we have become.

My family and yours worked hard to get the USA where it is and I am not
willing to lose it over language.
