    Good question!

    I doubt North America was even thinking of such things back then.

    ...SO. This means we're ALL descended from "illegal aliens."

    No, they were the conquerors. Lets face it if I had not been for the Europeans the Mexicans would have no where to immigrant and would be stuck in the craphole they came from.

    Nope, the savages who lived in the area at the time had no organized system of border patrol or laws forbidding entry.
