I will let you come to another ridiculous conclusion on your own again and not waste any time clarifying my position since you seem to prefer thinking that your assumptions are correct in the face of the facts and that you appear to think that murder is fine as long as there is gain from it.
I am not sure why any person would support murder, minors having sex, minors fighting, pre-emptive invasion for any reason as long as there is gain for the voctor... but you seem to. It is clear and extremely enlightening. Thanks and have a nice day.  |
In all fairness Bodhi, Korimyr actually did keep it in context.
The influx of Texan immigrants came from Southern US. If it had not been for these immigrants, Texas wouldn't have had the balls to claim independance. It was the immigrants that crossed borders, some without fulfilling legal requirements in becoming actual Mexican citizens (such as becoming catholic, freeing thier slaves, and learning how to speak spanish, etc), and they demanded that the Mexican govt to stop "oppressing it's citizens."
Those who are crossing our borders today, aren't they doing the same thing? Claiming that they are being "oppressed?" They can't get a driver's license, they're not allowed to work in certain places, etc. They are not considered "citizens?" Yet American's considered themselves "citizens" when they immigrated to Texas, didn't they?
If Texas' independance was justified on these grounds, then should Texas and other border states that feel they are "oppressed" then are they justified in leaving the US? Should the immigrants have a say on the states independance?
