Girl attacked over history project!

KLTV 7 News Tyler, Longview, Jacksonville |East Texas Teenager Attacked Over History Project

It was an assignment for history class--to make a protest sign for or against an issue, and Melanie, 13, said she chose illegal immigration. Her sign read, "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration." Somehow, Melanie said the sign got passed around lunch and angered a group of Latino students.

"I didn't know any of these people," she said. One young, she claimed, jumped on her back and he put her in a choke hold. "We have brick walls in the middle school and he slammed my face on the bricks."

Yeah.......they own a huge piece of America, it's getting bigger, and nothing can stop it.

To be fair, they owned it before we did.

Don't be ridiculous, we won a war and then paid a high price in cash to get the land. They don't have any rights to it.

a HIGH price?

The amount of money we paid for the western states is equivalent to about 100 dollars of todays money. The reason? Well after kicking their ass all over the map they don't have any choice but to accept any offer we make. The only reason we paid any money at all is because we didn't want to look bad. don't forget the reason we started the war......

We believed it was our "God-given Right" to own all of that land. This is an embarrassment to the history of this nation, any attempt to justify such immoral actions is feeble.

Does that also go for the 'Native Americans' aswell?

Man My nation pretty much raped one quater of the World, at least we had the decency to give the land back.

I believe we're talking about Mexico, not Native Americans. We paid something like well over $20 million for everything we got from Mexico as well as other expenses.

Oh yeah, right. I'd trade my house and the 50 square feet of their land I've been raping for a casino any day. They don't have it so bad.

Have you ever been to an Indian reservation? I have, it's a depressing sight indeed, only a small minority of native americans are wealthy and the vast majority live deep in poverty.

I grew up on one. What are you going to tell me?:no:

Really, and who are they? Are you not all Americans?

Shouldn't have messed with Texas, should they?

Don't forget the debts assumed by the US. And also the later purchase for something like $ 10,000,000.

If you want to believe Ulysses Grant's secretary.
