I have lived in Colorado for most of my life, and for as long as I can remember I have heard something similar coming from Latinos, mostly ancestrally Mexican, who live in Colorado. A belief that appears to has been passed down from generation to generation, the idea that the Southwestern U.S. was illegally taken from Mexico and that all of this land still belongs to Mexico. And because of their belief in this theft, they believe that the U.S. owes something to Mexicans, and at this point apparently all other Latinos, as well. So these people are going to keep coming in droves until something is done to stop them. We must secure our Southern Border ASAP, something should have been done decades back.

I may have missed something, however, to my knowledge there is NO requirement in Texas to either go though a background check or a waiting period to purchase a gun of any kind. at least it hasn't for the 72 years I've been here. Now, if you want to go to a commercial gun or sporting goods store, or to a gun show and purchase from a dealer, you will likely have to abide by their rules. if you want to purchase a gun, handgun or otherwise, from me, and I want to sell you the item, you give me the money and I give you the gun. We shake hands and both walk away happy.

"She delivers confused but sincere answers when asked that question."

I think that pretty much goes for everything she says. No one doubts her sincerity - just her higher brain function.

I truly believe that this is an example of the (poor) state of our current system of education.

Exactly!

"Occasional" seems to supporrt the "La Raza" ideas. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%... but then check out his Nazi bona fides.

She delivers confused but sincere answers when asked that question. Go look up her interviews. Almost silly. Annoys the heck out of hard-line anti-Israel leftists.

Silly me, not being as highly educated as this woman, I thought the word "Latino" suggested descendant of spanish invaders.

I mentor young university engineering students using rocketry as a stimulant in a contest called University Student Launch Initiative, held in Huntsville Alabama. Many of them are close to Cortez's age. They have a moniker for her:
Only Occasionaly a Cortex.

Latinos are the descendants of the Conquistadors. One of the most vicious and racist set of conquerors in the history of the world. Almost anybody in south or Central America, except for Brazil will claim direct Spanish ancestry even if they only have one drop of Spanish blood. So what this means is they're all evil whites just like the rest of us. I wonder if this nitwit has even considered the term "Latinos" ...it comes from Latin....which of course refers to the catholic European ancestry.

she is really Fidel Castro's illegitimate granddaughter...

So here's a question for Miss Cortez: how does she feel about the Israelis?

Ignoring the fact that most "native" peoples simply took the land from the peoples before them...

By that argument all primates should be able to vote

Well...she's angry so she must have a point. (modern logic)….

The fact that she got elected should really scare all of us. I think she's a hoot...funny as hell. However, she's now got the guns. That's not funny.

There are NO native or indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere. We're ALL immigrants. She's an imbecile and a product of the modern American public education establishment.

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard...
She should be escorted back to school, a school that teaches real history like Hillsdale College...and don't bother us until you learn it properly...OH, while you are at it...learn the constitution the proper way also.

And don't come out of your room until you are done!

Well some of us with negative type blood, green eyes, and red hair, are so rare, we are suspected of being aliens!

This new one who announced for President today, Amy (?) wants universal gun registration. I am not sure what that is but in Texas you go through a background check and a waiting period. Are these people trying to create more government jobs? We have almost a million people working for the government now. Do we need that many in this computer age? I learned 77% of our construction is being done by the government. I'm no mathematician but that means private enterprise is only doing about 23%! Is that why our roads are so bad? I have never seen over worked federal, state, or municipal employees and I was once a state employee, member of the city council, and a federal lobbyist.

Nothing is ever absolutely established -- I'm still hoping for an exception to gravity!

They have a pretty good map of the various waves based on genetics markers that's getting clearer all the time. It's very hard to imagine separate evolution being the same species and we are all cross-fertile. Other than saying "God made us this way", we pretty much need a common ancestor that we haven't deviated too far from.

We need to quit giving this child encouragement!

I didn't know it had been absolutely established we all came from Africa. Did I miss something?

A friend of mine said her initials should be IMC for Idiot, Moron, and Crazy. Now he is an engineer by education and we excuse a lot that he says because he did help NASA get a man on the moon!

The concept of "native" or "indigenous" people is based on a based on a biblical view of the world where God created the peoples of the world in the places where they live.

Scientific research indicates that we are all immigrants from Africa that spread around the world in a variety of waves. The concept of "indigenous" comes from whoever happened to be there when the Europeans arrived. Early tribes of indians who took territory from other tribes of indians didn't call them indigenous.
