    Call us United States Mexicans

    Tuesday's Letters to the Editor
    Article Launched: 07/21/2008 05:11:49 PM PDT

    U.S. not alone in America

    I find it so controversial for U.S. citizens to refer to Mexicans in the United States as Mexican-Americans because Mexico is, and has been, on the continent of North America longer than the United States, and its citizens are by nature Americans as well. Call us United States Mexicans.

    What's all this whining about Mexican immigrants in the United States taking too long to assimilate when in 200 years the United States still doesn't assimilate to the rest of the world by identifying itself, worldwide, by its continental name rather than its national name?

    America is a continent of many flags, not just the Stars and Stripes. The American eagle flies all over the continent, not as the property of one nation. My U.S.-issued passport identifies the bearer of that document as "United States citizen," not American citizen. The buttons on my U.S. Army uniform had the letters "U.S." embossed on them. You don't like the national name United States? Blame the so-called fathers of this country. You expect respect? Show respect to the Spanish-speaking American nations.

    This pinhead thinks we shouldn't be called Americans because America is not the only country on the North American continent. Name one other country in the world with America in it's title? It's not the United States of North America is it? People form the United Mexican States are known to as Mexicans, so why shouldn't people form the United States of America be called Americans. Can't these people just be Americans?

    This guy is barely coherent. I would strongly suggest his family and friends conduct an intervention, before he completely loses it...

    Mexico is not now nor has ever been any part of these United States. My passport say United States of America, not United nations of America. Mexicans demand respect? Then FIX your own country and leave OUR UNITED STATES the hell alone!

    Trevino needs to lay off that wacky weed too.

    America the Beautiful
    Words by Katharine Lee Bates,
    Melody by Samuel Ward


    O beautiful for spacious skies,
    For amber waves of grain,
    For purple mountain majesties
    Above the fruited plain!
    America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    And crown thy good with brotherhood
    From sea to shining sea!

    O beautiful for pilgrim feet
    Whose stern impassioned stress
    A thoroughfare of freedom beat
    Across the wilderness!
    America! America!
    God mend thine every flaw,
    Confirm thy soul in self-control,
    Thy liberty in law!

    O beautiful for heroes proved
    In liberating strife.
    Who more than self their country loved
    And mercy more than life!
    America! America!
    May God thy gold refine
    Till all success be nobleness
    And every gain divine!

    O beautiful for patriot dream
    That sees beyond the years
    Thine alabaster cities gleam
    Undimmed by human tears!
    America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    And crown thy good with brotherhood
    From sea to shining sea!

    O beautiful for halcyon skies,
    For amber waves of grain,
    For purple mountain majesties
    Above the enameled plain!
    America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    Till souls wax fair as earth and air
    And music-hearted sea!

    O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
    Whose stem impassioned stress
    A thoroughfare for freedom beat
    Across the wilderness!
    America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    Till paths be wrought through
    wilds of thought
    By pilgrim foot and knee!

    O beautiful for glory-tale
    Of liberating strife
    When once and twice,
    for man's avail
    Men lavished precious life!
    America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    Till selfish gain no longer stain
    The banner of the free!

    O beautiful for patriot dream
    That sees beyond the years
    Thine alabaster cities gleam
    Undimmed by human tears!
    America! America!
    God shed his grace on thee
    Till nobler men keep once again
    Thy whiter jubilee!

    It doesn't say a damn thing about Mexico in here does it!!! I think someone is having an identity crises!
