Americans killed all the natives, then they killed all the Mexicans in California (ok "expulsed" some). And now everyone must believe they are the good ones and kicking Latinos is the right thing. You know what, fuck you, prove you are different than ISIS, prove you are rightfully the world police .

No reason not to pass the adoption citizenship act.

If they become citizens, they can vote. They might be likely as a whole to vote for or against things that bother certain groups in Congress. That by itself will be a reason for those parties to prevent them from being citizens. We see the same thing with the islanders.

That's long time ago. The mind set and cultures were different back then. If you want to use history as some sort of mockery or prove a point. Every countries/citizens in the world can be blamed for something.

Actually the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo extended citizenship to the formerly Mexican citizens of California at the end of the Mexican-American war, 90% accepted this offer. Legally the United States considered individuals of Mexican heritage, "white". America certainly has a difficult history, however it is incredibly misleading to say that they killed all the Mexicans in California. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Guadalupe_Hidalgo
