Government's motto

"American jobs for real Americans"

the motto now in our country?

this was the motto in 1930s when the USA deported several people who were AMERICAN citizens. Why would Herbert Hoover do that? Because they were of Mexican descent. Didn't matter that they were American citizens....born and raised in the USA....some didn't even speak Spanish. They weren't REAL Americans in the government's eyes. Hoover thought it was best to DEPORT them back to the "motherland".

Ironically enough, they deported them from states like California, New Mexico and Texas, which were in fact part of their "motherland".

The Red White and Blue Americans conveniently forget that Mexicans were living in parts of what today is the USA a hundred years before a few religious extremists landed on Plymouth Rock.

you're right Aleksu,
those states were part of the motherland...many Americans forget.

why not return those lands back to the motherland?

They are too cowardly to do the right thing, that is why now they are planning on building a wall.

Just like what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians.

Ever notice how when people in the U.S.A talk about "America" they really mean "North America except for Canada and Mexico"?
