Who's Illegal?

WHO'S MORE ILLEGAL HERE? BILL O'REILLY & GEORGE BUSH OR A DESCENDANTOF AZTECS AND INCAS? ROBERT MIRANDA, HISPANIC VISTA - Mexicans come from 10,000 years ofhuman history and all of it in the conquered lands now known inhistory books as Mesoamerica and the United States of North America.Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Columbians and all the ethnic peoples that makeup Latin America and the Caribbean basin come from native tribes thatflourished long before the invasion of the Spanish Europeans and theintroduction of African slaves into this Hemisphere. . .Latinos are a people who remember our ancestry. We know that the landsthat were taken after the Indian Wars and the Mexican - American War,are ancestral lands that many Mexicans consider to this day as part oftheir ancient history.Who you calling "illegal?"The Aztecs and Incas, Apache, the Comanche, Pueblo Indians and all thenative people who for thousands of years harvested these lands andbuilt cities, and lived free under their own set of laws and rules,thrived and prospered. . .These lands stolen by the greed and manipulations and war of those whoarrived on ships from Europe, and then began stealing land that wasnever theirs, today have descendents who have inherited their wealthfrom this theft and have turned to the descendents of the nativepeople and have called them "illegal".Who you calling "illegal?"The blood of Geronimo, Orocobix, Cochise and Pope, of the PuebloIndians reminds us conscious Latinos - Chicanos of our legacy andancient history. I'm supposed to surrender this history because LouDobbs, Rush Limbaugh and Milwaukee's local right-wing talking headssay that I must? . . .Who you calling "illegal"?http://www.hispanicvista.com/HVC/Columnist/posiojr/051006osio2.htm
