Why don't you start an SI immigration thread instead of beating the subject to death here?

"Mexicans did not come from some where else. They have been living here for 23,000 years."

lololol you really need to study up.

no humans have been in the americas for 23,000 years

the clovis/souletrean (the people from south western FRANCE) came here about 14-15000 years ago.

there maybe some south pacific guys who lands in southern south america about 1000 years earlier, the rest came over from asia about 13000 years ago including the Kennewick man who by the way was WHITE

"The most commonly held perspective on the end of the Clovis culture is that a decline in the availability of megafauna, such as Mamoth and the like,"

there was a return of the ice age which lasted a 1000 years around 13000 years ago and a massive asteroid hit in north central NA. that probably wiped out the large mammals in North america.

some clovis people survived, we really need to give North america back to the french who were here first and some white guys who travel all the way around the world even though Japan and came here from asia, probably Germans

Mexicans did not come from some where else. They have been living here for 23,000 years. Do not confuse "Mexicans" with the "Spanish", who were the conquistadors and not Mexican. "Indios" simply refers to Mexicans who have darker skin, many of whom do not speak Spanish, but instead speak their native tribal languages like Nahuatl. Some areas of Mexico, such as Oaxaca, have a huge Indian population that speak predominantly their native language...in fact many do not speak Spanish. THIS is where their bias towards them comes from. It should sound familiar. It is the same bias put forth by you and all others who insist anyone coming here speak English, is it not? The thing is, collectively the people of Mexico know this is wrong, and have been trying to change the public perception of "Indios", whereas people like you are trying to do the opposite. As for the Clovis people, The most commonly held perspective on the end of the Clovis culture is that a decline in the availability of megafauna, such as Mamoth and the like, combined with an overall increase in a less mobile population, led to local differentiation of lithic and cultural traditions across the Americas. And the Clovis were not in Mexico, they were spread across the Americas.

so many errors...and so little time to address them.

When was Mexico established?
What people established Mexico?

Your racism has clouded your thinking so dramatically that you don't even see the parallels between what Mexico has done and what the U.S. has done.

and then you top it off with absurd assumptions about an entire population of people.

Genetic tests show Mexicans in northern Mexico are majority European by descent.

...
The genetic admixture analysis suggests that the Mexicans of the MMA, SLP, and ZAC, stratified by birthplace and generation, have received a predominantly Spanish contribution (78.5%), followed by a Mexican Indian contribution (21.5%). Similarly, admixture analysis, conducted on the population of Nuevo León and stratified by generation, indicates a substantial contribution from the MMA (64.6%), followed by ZAC (22.1%) and SLP (13.3%).

MMA means Monterey metro area, SLP means San Luis Potosi, and ZAC means Zacatecas. A majority of Mexican-Americans in the Houston area have family connections or ancestry from Monterey or nearby.

Take Eva Longoria from San Antonio as an example:

Of Mexican heritage and fiercely proud of it, Eva Longoria Parker always thought her ancestral makeup was mostly Mexican-Indian with a smattering of European blood. But she discovered that the opposite is true, among other surprising revelations, when she agreed to participate in the four-part PBS series Faces of America, which debuts Feb.10.

As one of 12 celebrities of various backgrounds who agreed to have their DNA tested for the series, hosted by historian, author and Harvard scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., Longoria Parker was "a little shaken" to learn that she’s actually 70% European, 27% Asian/indigenous, and 3% African.
