You might have caught actress Eva Longoria‘s recent appearance on Bill Maher’s “Real Time” in which she claimed that Hispanics would not be moved to vote for Mitt Romney simply because he might tap Marco Rubio to be his vice president. The mere thought of it would be, as she put it, “insulting.” After all, she claims that the Mexicans were occupied by the United States.
“And the idiots in the Bill Maher audience ate it up,” Beck said on his Tuesday evening broadcast before launching into one of the most concise rundowns of Mexican history to date. In fact, as Mexican-American, it seems inconceivable Longoria didn’t know her own history as well as Beck does.
As it turns out, the Spaniards occupied Mexico for some 300 years and even the word Hispanic was one employed by the Romans when they occupied what now is Spain. So, the Spanish language that is spoken across Latin America is a result of Spanish occupation. Likewise, it was Spain that occupied Mexico for hundreds of years.

What about all the land that we stole from them like California and Texas?
More mexicans live in USA then mexico. So Mexico occupies USA.
ALL the land in America is stolen. And stolen is different than "occupied". Just because people love to read about you in Enquirer doesn't mean you have an education or actually know what you are talking about. George Clooney has the same delusion. Both should stick to acting. And she isn't even very good at THAT.
