California was never Mexican

The early generals, ranchers, and governors of California were Spanish. During that time there were indigenous tribes of native Americans living in California. But California was never Mexican.

Yes California was a territory under Mexico, but Mexico was a Spanish territory and the people who controlled it were Spanish. They were not “Mexican”. These guys were all Spanish, Europeans.

This whole thing about “sanctuary” cities in America is a joke because Mexicans already have their own sanctuary country: Mexico!

I would be happy to see indigenous native American tribes living in villages around the state, but California is not Mexican and doesn’t belong to Mexicans and never will.
