Garvey's Africa: "How the **** can any AMERICAN tell anybody on this green Earth about border patrol. Do Americans need reminding their whole livity is based on CAPTURE LAND? And COLONIALISM?"
To build on this a bit, I&i have always seen some poetic justice in the PEACEFUL re-occupation by Mexican people of that half of Mexico's national territory which was quite intentionally, premeditatedly, and ruthlessly stolen from Mexico during the period 1846 to 1848. Using the rationale of "manifest destiny", Washington basically robbed Mexico at gunpoint (after substantial bloodshed) of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada, and parts of Wyoming, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas. Rather than seek justice & restitution for this immense crime violently, JAH people of Mexico have simply participated in a slow, patient, and overwhelmingly peaceful movement to occupy and re-settle their national homeland. It's been surprisingly successful - JAH Bless! Mahatma Gandhi would applaud their methods.
Whenever i come back to the U.S. and visit California or Arizona, i love to hear Spanish being spoken there and to join into the conversation if the opportunity presents itself. [Not to mention the true blessing of an abundance places serving comida mexicana autentica!] Hearing Spanish spoken seems so natural in these lands of cherished Mexican heritage.
