Growing up and living in Southern California , Mexican are just part of the culture. Strongly present through music , food , culture . We all celebrate Cinco De Mayo on our own way . In a way , we celebrate them . We can not imagine California without them . Hard working people who complain less and endure more . 😃😃😍
When you remember that Texas was a state of MEXICO that made the mistake of letting English/American settlers start farms in her lands. That those American settlers rose up against rheir gracious host country because it did not allow slavery, and the Americans each wanted to own and farm more land than 1 farmer/family could physically tend. So the American settlers stole Texas...but lots of formerly Mexican families were in Texas when this happened. So there are people of Mexican heritage with far deeper roots that the caucasian residents.
Get over it. You ask people to stop looking into their past when it comes to American heritage. But you are ok with going to the past on immigration issues
@@Grumpy19 big difference lol and ironically enough this argument is exactly tied to that “American heritage” you speak of silly goose. You’re not very smart huh?
@@Grumpy19 yep! It's so typical to slap the hand that helps. If Texas had stayed Mexican where would you be?? In the same state than the rest of tge border towns, at the mercy of smugglers and cartels. This is the reason half of Mexican citizens are already here. So this woman has a house in Mexico, then why are you complaining? You would not even have a brick if you had stayed there. You, as millions more, have benefited by hard honest work. And still you complain, incredible!
Who taught you that garbage? That is not the history of Texas or Mexico for that matter. That is some really a simplistic incorrect view of what happened to Texas and Mexico. You left out all the other countries that were involved not to mention the indigenous people that were there before Mexicans. As far as people tending more land than a single-family it’s called a profession they’re called farmers. If not for farmers creating food for others there would be no other professions like doctors and nurses or they would be too busy tending their land. That’s how we cooperate so we can have other things like clothes ,carpenters, mechanics…. It’s called a civilization or society. It makes the best use of everybody’s individual skills and allows them to have more than what they can only make themselves. It was the original barter system. Without people forming more land than one family needs you would only own the things you can make so you can say goodbye to your computers or Internet or electricity… I really hope you’re a kid still learning these things and not an adult and that is your worldview.
Para eso nos falta mucho que ironía los gueros se han adueñado de nuestras playas nuestros pueblos mágicos como San Miguel de Allende y nosotros en el gabacho seremos mayoría pero seguimos ganando poco y los que logramos tener un negocio explotamos a nuestros paisanos aparte hay que recordar que los verdaderos dueños son los nativos que hoy viven asta sin luz y electricidad
@@lindaolivas7699 Truth be known we are all bi-racial. I am half Northern Irish (Black Irish) and my ancestors were heavily inter-mixed with Native and African Americans.

As a Mexican national living in the United States as an ilegal alien since I was a child, Now that I think of it, it is strange.

Our culture is beautiful in all ways very family oriented the USA crossed into Mexico , must we forget . no one really owns the land but the Indians, the natives were fooled to let go of land. they we're pushed to corners it's sad. got to love Mexico, we shouldn't have borders
@@lindaolivas7699 Haven't done right what? You are complaining about something that happened 170 years ago. what do we have to apologize for? Nothing. The Mexicans already living there became citizens. And the U.S. has a right to kick out whoever has no papers they won the land end of story.
@@mr.centrist5789 tell that to your President right now you don't need papers there is thousands coming in and have more prevliges than a born citizen. How about those waiting to be residents they have to wait But anyway wait to see what our pass administration and I mean pass United States we are not. we are America the Republic. it's to much to share just sit back and watch , wait and see ,hear etc
@@mr.centrist5789 just sit back and wait. you will get to see and hear what all has occurred behind our backs. we are not USA we are America the Republic if you can do some homework you will know the truth behind U.S.A.
Funny how you only put a Genre of music. All my friends in Mexico listen to Gothic, Heavy Metal and Punk Rock you're just trying to stereotype people . I don't know one single person that listens to mariachi
Maureen. German influence is found in Banda music. Mariachi music influenced by French or other European instruments. Regardless Mexicans made it their own style etc
I totally agree since. 9-11. Everything change from day to Night. But the most intriguing 🤔 Question is We need you. But we don’t like you. Because we are superior. And we Live in AMERICA 🇺🇸 and you don’t. And I said. So we’re not AMERICAN?? are you okay. Is your brain 🧠 working properly,,? My History has a different view. I’m sorry. I don’t agree with you. .!!

Nobody envited the European Anglo to come here in the first place.. one thing I agree is someone once said History repeats itself and by the looks of many South Eastern states yes it's true. So either you start hablando Espanol or your out of many States.

American settlers did the Mexican people a favor or Tejas would still be a dirt poor state of Mexico

Eso 👌es verdad 👌🇲🇽👩🦱🇺🇸
Texas y muchos estados sigen siendo de mexico y poco ah poco vamos recuperandolos

PBS remember Texas used to be Mexico, we didn't crossed the border, the border crossed us, AZ,CA OR,NM,UT, WY ,OKLAHOMA?
That's so right on
Wrong. Most Mexican Americans descend from recent immigrants so nice try. 😆

Se usa generalmente en fiestas especiales.
Were charing water were charing culture
There would be no mariachi music without the German influence at its root.
MARIACHI ROOTS ARE. FROM FRENCE NOT FROM GREMANY
BANDA MUSIC IS FROM GERMANY

Además tú no eres blanca eres algo clara de color pero eso no es ser blanco talvez por que no hay blancos en la frontera
Como que esta jente está un poco perdida y ellos mismos crean la frontera en su mente
Este de la entrevista como que se esfuerza mucho para hablar inglés
I guess asking for Patriotism, Loyalty and Assimilation is asking for too much these days.I came to the Nation in 1988 and never looked.
It was fake
As a Mexican, that music and that clothing do not represent me, it is shameful and offensive.
İntresting, you must be frıom a big city.
You're the one that's shameful to consider yourself Mexican, that's not their everyday atire. You must of forgot your roots. "Que verguenza das".
What music what clothing? I didn't hear any Tex mex music the music genre that gave birth to onda grupera in this video only cumbias.
Then you might not be 💯 percent Mexican
