Remember the Alamo baby and all those good days gone by.
Bring back chat and make Joel a sheep forever!!!
Like I need a bunch of Yankees to remind me of the Alamo.
We cannot even say that was a magnanimous gesture: The US government simply did not want to endanger the precarious political balance between places that do and do not have growing seasons long enough to make slavery economically viable. And failed at even that, because political activists from both areas abused popular sovereignty by voting with their feet, leading to the laughable "Bear Republic," Bleeding Kansas and, eventually, a war that killed more Americans than all others COMBINED.
If only we had annexed Canada along with all of Mexico all that AND all this could have been avoided. 
In all seriousness, illegal aliens are one thing, but it gets very ugly when native US citizens are treated as equally criminal just because the border crossed THEM 150 years ago.
I mean I'm fairly sure you tried to annex Canada in 1812 but it went very poorly
Just saying.
As far as 150 years goes that's more than a lifetime. Perhaps rather irrelevant when the top of discussion is people. personally I'm all for immigration in general but I'd like to see it done on merit and in a manner that is politically neutral when it comes to demographic voting patterns. It seems silly to allow immigration to effectively disenfranchise portions of the current citizenry.
