While pretending that theirs is not a bigoted point of view, but, rather, a love of the United States and its laws, people like Donald Trump reveal their bigotry without noticing they are doing that.

Since native born citizens of the United States of Mexican descent look no different from those who have arrive recently as legal immigrants or undocumented ones, how does one differentiate merely on appearance or last names?

Just because your name ends in “ez”, it does not mean you just got here, or even that you had to come here. You may have been here for longer than people can remember.

There are people in the South West who are basically invisible when it comes to their history and culture. They got Spanish surnames when the Spaniards arrived, but they are as Hispanic as I, a Boston-Irishman, am. They have been there for centuries, and never moved either.

They could be Native Americans, or the descendents of the conquistadors.

Look at Texas.

If your family has lived there since time immemorial you have lived under Spain (1519–1821), France (1685–1690), Mexico (1821–1836), the Republic of Texas (1836–1845), the Confederate States of America (1861–1865), and the United States of America (1845–1861 and from 1865–present).

That means, without ever moving, you lived in 6 different countries.

You stayed still, it was the country that moved.

I remember a few years ago in Ponca City, Oklahoma, at the dedication of the statue to the Land Run there were some Native American protesters because, and let’s not pretend otherwise, the land would not have been available for settlement if it had not been stolen from the Tribes who were sent here from their ancestral lands. Just research what happened after the Dawse Commission land allotments to see how adept companies, land hungry settlers, and lawyers were at this.

Anyway, one woman in the crowd saw the protests as just wrong, and out of total ignorance yelled, “Why don’t you just go back where you came from” to the cheers of those around her who also seemed to have forgotten it was not the Native Americans’ idea to come to Oklahoma Territory in the first place.

And for some, this was where they came from.

You see, the state formed around the Native Americans, they did not move to the state.

When Texas broke from Mexico, many of those leading the movement were Texanos, Mexicans who wanted to break from a government that was too far away, yet exercised unreasonable control over the people in what would become Texas.

We know about people like Jim Bowie, Davey Crocket, and John Wayne who were at the Alamo, but few know that there were over 200 Texanos there too.

But after the territory became independent, the Texanos were mistreated by the very people they had fought beside while newcomers from the United States simply assumed they were Mexicans who fought for the other side.

They lost the land for whose independence they had fought, as the newcomers carved it up, stole it, and simply told the Mexicans to “go home”.

So when people like Trump massage prejudice and lie to give the impression that anyone of Mexican ancestry who is there must have come later, they, and he, are ignorant of real history.

Juan did not move, his countries did.
