In the long run, historically
, property rights have existed only consequently to the power of arms to repel other interested humans. Because "race" has historically been a basis for forming communities, nations, etc beginning with some tribal allegiances, property rights have always been a racial issue.
La Raza, today, maintains that US aggression in the past was unjust, and that therefore Mexico properly should own the US Southwest, including the Gadsen Purchase, which was a cash deal. La Raza is clearly a racist organization, which Obama implicitly validates by maintaining liasons with them and advisors from among them. Properly speaking, Obama's action in using his pen to legitimize Mexicans is a capitulation to this point of view. Why shouldn't they come here, who are we to say no.
When the US Federal government makes second class citizens of a racial segment of it's citizenry, while giving another racial class special privileges it is provoking race war. When folks buy into the historical racial issues of the past and inject them into today's issues as a basis for analysis, criticism, and proposed special treatment of any group, the poison of real racism is just perpetuated.
We no long hear of the principle of "equal justice under the law" as an absolute. There are so many reasons why someone or another should be treated special. . . .
In a political climate like this is becoming, a white(I'd guess), fairly well-to-do, land developer needs to be pretty light-footed rather than deep-rooted. Get in, build, sell, take the money and run.
Oh, to Iceland or somewhere. . . .lol
