Now that he has the middle east and most of the world aflame in bitter debate over changing Israel’s borders to what they were in 1967, how soon will it be before President Obama seeks to redraw the U.S. borders to reflect conditions that existed prior to the U.S. –Mexico war of 1845?
To do so would be consistent with Obama’s passion for whittling away at American dominance and superiority. It would also help bring the Hispanic demographic back to heel in time for the 2012 elections.
Of course, Obama would have to ignore the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, which ended the war and gave the U.S. undisputed control of Texas, established the U.S.-Mexican border of the Rio Grande River, and ceded to the United States the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming.
In ignoring the Treaty, Obama would find solace with millions of Mexican politicians and citizens who continue to insist that the land covered in the treaty remains a part of Mexico.
Such people use that specious argument to justify the current invasion of America by non-English speaking aliens who come here, illegally, for jobs, welfare, food stamps, free education and health care, and the like, all of which costs taxpayers more than $110 billion every year!.
After more than two years in office, Obama has demonstrated a remarkable ability to blatantly ignore the rule of law and cultural traditions that have made America great.
Thus, ignoring the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo should be a piece of cake for our rule-of- law- adverse chief!
Obama to Call for Return of U.S. –Mexico Borders to 1843?
