False statements given by the illegal immigrants
False Statement #1: America is made up of immigrants.
Truth: Yes this is true, but when our ancestors came here there was no government set up to say they couldn't or could come here. The illegal immigrants are coming illegally which is not ok.
False Statement #2: California belongs to Mexico.
Truth: While this is laughable, it also displays borderline stupidity and insanity on the mexicans part. We all know about the war that occured for the U.S. to obtain California but unfortuantly mexicans believe the war was so unjust and therefore California should be given back to them. This is what happened, in 1845 President Polk Sent John Slidell to mexico to offer compensation for New Mexico and California . Mexico refused the money and Polk prepared for war. He oredered U.S. forces under General Zachary Taylor into the disputed region. Although Mexican forces outnumbered U.S. forces and enjoyed the advantage of fighting on familiar terrain, the United States utilized more sophisticated artillery and superior military skills to win the war. With the U.S. defeat of the Mexican army in Buena Vista, Palto Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Santa Fe and California. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war. Under the terms of the treaty, the border between the United states and Mexica was fixed at the Rio Grande; Mexico also relinquished all or part of modern California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This doesn't sound unjust to me but you can make you own decision.
False Idea #3: The California Constitution is published in English and Spanish so therefore Spanish is a recognized language.
Truth: Yes, in 1849 the California Constitution was published in English and Spanish. However, in 1986, the California Constitution has specified that English is the common and official language of the state.
False Idea #4: We are not criminals.
Truth: If you are an illegal immigrant then yes you are. Illegal immigrants have committed a misdemeanor.
False idea #5: We are all Americans.
Truth: Mexicans may be North American, but not a U.S. American.
False Idea#6: Immigrant rights are human rights.
Truth: Illegal Immigrants have no rights under the U.S. Constitution.
