On the Anniversary of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
Fight Back and Donate to VDARE.com!
"In a normal country, the anniversary of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo would be regarded as a great day of national celebration, a day to commemorate when the United States truly became the dominant power on the North American continent. It was on this day that America secured California and the Southwest and finally stretched "from sea to shining sea."

"It was a conquest. And historically there's nothing unique about that... just about all the real estate in the world has been conquered and re-conquered, some of it quite a few times... That includes Mexico.
Nor is invading a neighbor country at all rare. In fact, it's the
most common form of international invasion there is." - Alan Wall
