    Let's all take a moment to appreciate the fact that those drunk party goers sneakily crossed a river and founded a whole town where they thought would be beyond the reach of American prohibition authorities on the one tiny spot that is in fact still within American borders and the cops never realised it either.

    The Rio Grande river changing course, and therefore the border, is more common than a lot of people realize. Right here in El Paso, TX we had a treaty to swap three bits of land in 1963 know as the Chamizal Dispute due to the river changing course in the early 1900s (the despite started around 1911). Now there are parks on either side of the border, two museums, and an international bridge between the two. Officially speaking though, there are still little bits of El Paso and bits of Juárez which are on the opposite bank of the river; none nearly as big as Chamizal though.

Plus, the U.S. and Mexico are right next door to each other so it makes sense a fair number who aren't retirees would cross the border. But a lot more Mexicans have come to the U.S. than vice versa, and that's an economic fact of life.

    I lived in a town long ago that had as boundaries between various plots of private property, a brook. The brooks changed course multiple times over 250 years so the various properties kept changing as well. One property went from 1/2 acre to 11 acres due to this but it occurred very gradually for the most part. The quickest change was due to a flood that happened about 45 years ago and the brook cut a new path bypassing a 2 acre loop which eliminated two properties entirely giving them to a developer. That caused law suits that went on for almost 20 years. It was finally resolved and the two home owners got to keep their homes after all and the developer lost out and the town finally changed it's ordinances to exclude any future change in the course of any body of water.

      you've clearly never tried that position. it's actually fairly comfortable long-term. the key is to have your elbows, which are supporting most of your weight here, sit on a soft surface, like a bed or mattress. The back being sore thing I can't relate to; mine gets sore from the opposite position, that is, looking down and forward. Looking up and backward like this which isn't possible while standing (lest you fall down into your back) is extremely confortable and actually relieves some of the soreness of a full day being upright, sitting and/or laying dwn.

    There is a present ghost town called Olive City that was once in Arizona. It was founded as a ferry crossing on the Colorado River, but was abandoned in the late 1860’s. Due to the river changing course, the site of the town is now in California.

    There was another piece of land that changed sides because of the Rio Grande. A section of Mexico near El Paso ended up on the north side of the river (undeveloped) and a piece of US on south side. My dad worked for Texas & Pacific railroad then recently merged with Missouri - Pacific. They owned a switching and repair shop in that south parcel. Dad and I went to El Paso to survey T&P property that would be lost in summer 1963.

    The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which is what defined the border between the US and Mexico, called for things to start five nautical miles south of the San Diego Bay. As that body of water was constituted in 1848, the border should have begun about where Imperial Beach Boulevard is today. Instead, the binational border commission set the first monument about five kilometers south (GVMG+QV Tijuana, Baja California). Local folklore holds that this was because the Mexican half of the commission came late to the meeting and the gringos had stolen a march on them. Far more likely, however, is that these intrepid surveyors found themselves waist-deep in the Tijuana Slough and felt it prudent to set their marker on firmer land to the south. In either case, the southernmost five kilometers of California should properly belong to Mexico.

    I found this video quite informative! Just, next time, HAI, keep in mind that Spanish words are not pronounced with English syllables, but _Spanish_ ones. When you find a Spanish word with "C" in it, remember that it makes the "S" sound in Spanish instead of the English "K" sound. So, at 3:14, the Horcón Tract is pronounced like "horse-on" instead of "hork-on" (whatever "hork" is).
    Also, for those who are wondering, Río Rico means "Rich Port" in Spanish, and $6,268.64 in 1803 is worth $143,500.82 today.

    The only Supreme Court decision about whether or not someone is an American citizen just because they're born in the country specifically takes into account whether their parents were here legally and had submitted themselves to US law. The Kim Wong Ark decision specifically talks about that in their decision. So no, it is not automatic that just because you're born on us soil that you are an American citizen at least not according to the Kim Wong Ark decision. And there are no other United States Supreme Court decisions that authorize such a thought. Kim Wong Arks parents had exemplified their submission to US law by not returning to China when the Chinese emperor required all Chinese citizens to return to China. And they continued farming and complying with us laws in every way. Making themselves subject to us laws in every conceivable way. And this is talked about at length in that decision. One other thing is that Kim Wong Ark was never said to be a natural-born US citizen. Had they thought for a fleeting second that he was Natural Born they never would have printed the 14th Amendment at the beginning of the decision. The Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to natural born citizens because it doesn't even speak about them. That selfsame Supreme Court a few years earlier had rendered a decision in minor vs happersett. In that they Define, ad nauseam, what the definition of a natural-born US citizen is. Just like the founding fathers and every almost everyone else in the country at the time of the founding of the country understood, a natural-born US citizen has nothing to do with your place of birth. It has to do with both parents being US citizens at the time of your birth. Something which Kim Wong Ark lacked. So if both parents are not United States citizens at the time of your birth. It doesn't matter what other law is passed, it does not satisfy the definition of a natural-born US citizen. Congress several years ago said that a single us parent can confer US citizenship. But that does not change the definition of natural born US citizen according to the United States Constitution. That definition requires both parents to be United States citizens at the time of birth. That means although the child is a US citizen at Birth, they are not a natural-born citizen and therefore do not have any right or privilege of becoming United States president. So those men who one of which was clearly born in Canada even though both of his parents were US citizens at the time were Natural Born US citizens. and at least two people one of which was born in the United States and one of which was not who have been talked about as being good presidents in the last 10 years or so, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, are not Natural Born US citizens and can not rightfully be president.
