Only because I don't think you're trolling so I will answer, I've talked about here before so it here goes. My ancestors on my dad's side were Tejanos, Mexicans living in Texas before the good ol' gringo land grab named the Mexican-American War. Mexico lost not only Texas but half it's territory as a result. My ancestors went from being Mexicans to US citizens overnight. Eva Longoria said it best, we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us. My family have been American citizens going on more than 150 years. I have family members who have fought in every major war since WW I. I would venture to say that my family is more American than more than half of this board, including your ZenMaster, prove me wrong.
