MArcos,
I'm trying to understand this strong idea of rights. Had this been a recent (in terms of one or two generations) eviction from N. America to Mexico, it would make more sense to me, but while relatively recent in historical terms, most of those crossing illegally are quite young, and are 125 years away from the actual "ownership as natives", so is it taught in school and by oral story-telling that these are their rights, that the land is still Mexico's?
Is there a good basic not too detailed book you could recommend for me on this, perhaps written from the Mexican point of view? (Here in Texas I have a feeling what I find might be a LEEEEETLE pro-US.)
Still trying to understand what has obviously never been taught to me, and thanking you for your patience,
penni
