Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for March 17, 2011

If the “immigrants go back where you came from” people get their wish, it’s the Mexicans who will still be around, not them.

NO! They come from Spain for gold and killed off as many of the people here as they could. the BROWN man not the WHITE man killed off the Indians.

@Lin - you are wrong. But if you want to look at it that way, Spaniards are just white people who speak Spanish, so it’s still was the white man who killed off the Indians

If you go back far enough, every human on earth will have to go back to wherever in the world they evolved.

In logic it’s called reductio ad absurdum — if an idea followed to its conclusion becomes an absurdity, it was false to begin with. “Go back where you came from” is a prime example. People are people, wherever they came from last, so we may as well learn to appreciate (or at least put up with) each other while we’re all still here.

^The absurdity is that illegal aliens are really no bigger problem now than they were fifty years ago. We are making a bigger deal of it, but that’s all. And truly, all the white folks were illegal in the sense that they came here without the permission of the people living here at the time. They moved in, took over, killed wantonly and then complained about the folks who were here all along. That just is our history.

Human nature is to kill and enslave each other. If the Indians had had the more advanced technology, they would have come to Europe and enslaved Europeans. The world is the way it is now, and letting people into the country illegally is not going to make anything better.

Apparently, the proof that we are all the same is proven here…

starting with our bias.

Welcome to planet earth.

the Aztecs did human sacrifices, so the Mexicans killed mexicans. Everybody killed everybody. Look up the Anastazi–white man didn’t kill them off, other indians did.

You can’t have open borders. No one can. It’s not a hate thing. It’s about doing it the right way.

Was the color in the strip deported too?

The irony and point of the strip, I think, is that the people who displaced the indigenous and have no knowledge of history want the indigenous deported.

Coyoty, that does seem correct…except, not all Hispanics are indigenous, and I believe some Mexicans in Mexico discriminate against indigenous people, too, especially if those indigenous people are from other Central American countries.

In fact, I doubt you can find any country in the world which doesn’t have some group, or groups of people who are looked down on, or discriminated against.

We are all of us immigrants from somewhere else, including the “indigenous” people who supposedly came from Asia.

I am 1/2 Norwegian, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 Acadian French, but my maternal DNA places me in Northern India, Iran or the Caucasus.

Skin color is determined by how far or how close to the equator our more recent ancestors lived.

Some say we are all originally from Africa.

None of this has anything to do with the legal argument each country uses to define citizenship.

The ironic thing is that Mexico has some of the strongest anti-immigration laws around.

Once again someone has missed the point. I doubt if the boys ancestors snuck across the border in the dead of night in an attempt to circumvent standing immigration laws. Now, I don’t know if Baldo’s did, I doubt it, but the point is that anyone who does has broken the law. Now, I believe that every circumstance needs to be evaluated and each person judged on their own merit to determine if they should be allowed to enter the country. Much as Ellis Island was supposed to do. I don’t have anything against immigrants. I just want them to be documented and come in to the country legally.
