This Land is Our Land
Asegurar nuestra nación
Currently Mexican law does not allow American citizens to purchase and own land within 60 miles of the border or 30 miles within it's coast. In order to increase commerce Mexican law makers are looking to lift that ban and allow foreigners to own land. This is putting our country at great risk of losing it's treasured coastal lands. We have learned from our Nations history that you cannot trust the American people, for if we allow them this privilege they will take advantage of our hospitality once again.
Looking To the Past
Settlement of Texas
In 1821 Mexican Government invited American Stephen Austin to create a colony in Texas. He brought 297 new American families to the area. In 1829 his settlers started to revolt against their Mexican Government.
Texas War For Independance
Texans rebelled and fought against the Mexican army. They bit the very hand that had fed and aided them for so long. This monument now stands at the San Jacinto battleground, where the Texans slaughtered almost 900 Mexican soldiers, 1/2 of the army.
Mexican American war
In 1846 American President James K. Polk stationed troops at the top of the Rio Grande. His goal was to provoke the Mexican army, he saw a war as the most time efficient way to gain the Mexican territories in the West. The war lasted two years and left 25,00 Mexican soilders dead or injured. After this war Mexico was forced to sign away nearly half of its territory to the US.
Last time the Mexican Government allowed American citizens to colonize their lands they were treated with disrespect. The American people refused to follow Mexican law and refused to coincide with other requests made by the Mexican government. They started a bloody war that destroyed several Mexican missions, slaughtered thousands of our countrymen, and forced the government to sigh half of our lands over to them. In his novel Reason in Common Sense, Mexico native George Santayana writes "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Do we want to repeat history? To once again have our toes stepped on by the American People? Are we prepared to loose our precious coast land? Because if history is any indication, we can not trust the Americans they are always greedy and always looking to fulfill their "Manifest Destiny".
