Well he managed to use every left wing anti white attitude in this short video
I find several mexicans states in u.s !!
Why do racists always have to ruin things? Noting that people were "white guys" when race had nothing to do with what happened is as racist as noting that they were "black guys". This is essentially a racist video and that's why I voted it, Thumbs Down. Stop your hating, dividing, and pretending to be holier than the rest of us, you hypocrite.
Great video, but, therefore, you must get a thesaurus.....
That's pretty interesting. I live in Matamoros, Mexico with my wife. And I never knew this lol.
"A bunch of white guys?" Way to pander. Lost a viewer.
Small correction: AMERICA? HELLO DUDE! WELCOME TO PLANET EARTH! AMERICA IA A CONTINENT,NOT A COUNTRY! JAJAJA! RUNS FROM PATAGONIA TO 🇨🇦. ALL BORN IN THIS CONTINENT WE ARE AMERICANS!
Like USA reply Mexico
This could all be avoided Mexico become USA state you no you want to your people already proveing that by jumping the boarder lol.
So a negative racist comment about white people and capitalism. Way to be a bigot.
2:58 I think your inflation is way off haha
wait America is not the United states. AMERICA is the whole continent .The united states is only a country. with no name.
rio rico = rich river.
Imagine such a reasonable approach to the problem today! These days, we would have ton of White Ammo/camo dudes wandering around the area. One of the few times Mexico got a fair deal from the US
6:30 is the true ending haha
México got Rio Rico and the U.S. got all or part of Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Sounds fair.
There was another piece of land that changed sides because of the Rio Grande. A section of Mexico near El Paso ended up on the north side of the river (undeveloped) and a piece of US on south side. My dad worked for Texas & Pacific railroad then recently merged with Missouri - Pacific. They owned a switching and repair shop in that south parcel. Dad and I went to El Paso to survey T&P property that would be lost in summer 1963.
Trying to hard to be funny I cringed so hard. Except for the hiking enthusiast thing that was actually funny af
That's why Australia only grants instant citizenship to children born in the country to a parent who is a citizen.
Rio Rico = Wealthy river or something like that.
How is someone in the country illegally, if they're a citizen by birth?
God bless America. Lmao
I'm surprised the IRS didn't nail all these "Americans" in Rio Rico for not paying their taxes every year - before they suddenly found out they were American and all moved to New York. Hey, with the citizenship comes certain obligations and the IRS never forgets. Oh wait, they're Mexicans, they didn't have any income before they moved to New York. Never mind.
USA stole Mexican lands

@James Not really us Mexicans are gonna become the majority in the southwest in a few decades so I'm not worried we already became the majority in California so yeah it never sucks to be México 🇲🇽
How about now what happens if person born there is he/she get American 🇺🇸 citizenship or Mexican 🇲🇽 citizenship or both
LOL I saw an ad for nebula before this video
1:44 that burn do
HAI, I think y'all really really need better script editors!
Ree-oh grAAAnd. Man that takes effort to not say properly, good job
Rio Rico = Rich River or possibly river of riches I'm not 100%
There is another example like this: Cordova Island (El Chamizal), which was a neighborhood in El Paso, TX up until 1964. Frequent flooding on the Rio Grande caused the border to shift, which led to dispute of to whom this piece of land actually belonged. After it was finally settled in 1964, the neighborhood became part of Mexico again, and the entire border had shifted, necessitating the construction of a whole new border bridge crossing and inspection stations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamizal_dispute
“America” is not a country...
Every town in the continent of America is an American town...
Deserted cuz the cartel keeps it that way
Hiking enthusiasts....frickin' hilarious 😆
What? Because Mexico is not America?
We get it you hate white people and capitalism jeez
This guy isn't to subtle about his politics
Wait you have to be born in America to be a citizen right. And Rio Rico was American territory right. But how many people living there were born in the town and not a hospital near by that was in Mexico.

Probably not many born in hospitals mate
"Oh, turns out you were all Americans the entire time, and you're living in America. We'll fix that for you." "wait wait wait..."
"Solution number, b"...my favorite number!
5:11 Way to cause irritation with stock footage...
Wow. Can you imagine!? One day you’re Mexican and then boom USA citizen.
Kinda smug wokie editorial. I guess he has been exonerated for being white by his fantasy of social justice warriors. What an ass.
I am not Rich, famous or a politician and I have good health care.
Rio Grand? You mean Grande?
“Río Rico which translates to...” Me: Rich River “...something.” Me: oh
$10,000(1903) = $6,268 (2020) ? Am I missing something here? Please explain.
I'm confused, how was the company fined $10k and adjusted for inflation is roughly $6,284.64 in 1803 $ ??
Rich river.

I hate politics with a bloody passion
2:06 what did he mean by this?
wow curiositystream deal is good $12/year
Everybody in the town fixer papers classic
Thank god you’ve started converting to the standard unit of monetary measurement,1803 dollars.
This is painfully unfunny
.
Me a mexican watching this video hey my country appears XD
ALthe ALREADY inflicts too many ads on us. Adds IN the videos ARE AN ABOMINATION. I'm getting to the point that as soon as I see an ad in a video (like THIS one) I completely ignore the video.
Wouldn't it just be easier to let them have dual citizenship
This is bs
"old white men" who funded and built farming in that area that benefited US and Mexico. Kinda sick of this shit. Without "old white men" we would not be as advanced as we are now.
People of Rio Rico, must think I'm mexican, soy mexicano, ¡viva México! Well actually..... you're Estadounidense. Cool free passport.
I lived in a town long ago that had as boundaries between various plots of private property, a brook. The brooks changed course multiple times over 250 years so the various properties kept changing as well. One property went from 1/2 acre to 11 acres due to this but it occurred very gradually for the most part. The quickest change was due to a flood that happened about 45 years ago and the brook cut a new path bypassing a 2 acre loop which eliminated two properties entirely giving them to a developer. That caused law suits that went on for almost 20 years. It was finally resolved and the two home owners got to keep their homes after all and the developer lost out and the town finally changed it's ordinances to exclude any future change in the course of any body of water.

🏔️ Nepal’s Mount Everest is welcoming climbers to restart its economy after a 7-month Covid-19 lockdown. Will they come back? WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Ivi...
First country south of Detroit USA is Canada - bend in the river again.
I'm wondering if 'upstate New York' regarding Mormon angel Moroni with Joseph Smith - one of them a North American Indian from a drawing shown to me - I'm wondering if Toronto Canada aka the town of York was 'upstate New York' during the War of 1812.
This was some anti white, anti capitalist shit. Good job!
Rich River, it translated to Rich River.
I'm kinda getting that this channel hates America?
Seems a good precedent for handing Point Roberts over to Canada.
It's weird to watch a video where not only once but twice government made the right and obvious decisions
United States gives Mexico something that was already theirs
Translates to 'Rich River' actually...
It means Rich river
What is the point of the gratuitous inclusion of race?
wow
Great job of dumbing this down and adding the essential ironic yoube "Im so dumb jolts" cant focus for a second jolts. Thanks for dragging down and dreading info to comedy cable tv level. More like more views
It happened to many towns from 2008-2016. Barry let them invade.
Interesting and informative, but the attempts at political humor distract.
“Solution number B” NO. “B” Is not a number.
In order to cede the land both parties must agree that one party legally owned the land to legally cede it to the other. So anyone born in that town definitely has a citizenship case.
Taxes
That’s fine is still nothing to accompany that’s the problem with big corporations! Why do you think we have all that plastic in the middle of the ocean is because all these cruise ships and all these other ships dump their trash at sea because it cost more to bring it on the land move it to a dump truck the dump truck goes to the landfill in the landfill charges U Per pound! The fine is only 25,000 literally saving them money! This is the problem with government in George HW Bush started this stated “we are in the deregulation business “”
Why do you have to say lunch at old white guys why can’t you just say a bunch of old guys! You must be a millennial why do you think in black and white because nobody cared before your generation grew up in more manipulated by teachers and TV and the Internet in fact the 50s and 60s Black people used to dress very nicely we have a great Motown because of this everybody was getting along. I was born in 71 and everybody was getting along it wasn’t until the 2000s were all this BS started. Biggest problem in this country is not race it’s not left versus the right. And it’s not women’s rights and it’s not guns. Biggest problem in this country is government in the size of government the size of our military it literally has Quadrupled since I graduated high school in 1989. 3/4 of the national budget goes to the military 3/4 do you know how much goes to the people of the national budget 4%! So let’s get something straight no issue is more pressing than government expansion and government control
Yes the United States is very good at stealing land just like Israel well let’s get real there one in the same
der takin er townz AND er jerbz!! - some republican probably
3:00 seems a bit.... small
Flawless segue into your Nebula promo 👌 You just might have me there... 🤔
Sam pronouncing "grande" as "grand" pains me.
I love this channel, Thank you.
Come on guy. Work on your pronounciation. Streaming. NOT SH treaming. Get a clue.
WRONG at 5:00 according to US statute if your parents are not legally in America the your birth, in America, does not qualify you for citizenship. Sadly they haven't been enforcing this statute since about the time kamala Harris was born.
FYI : Rio Rico is in fact in Arizona...
After Fort Blunder, Town Blunder?
"Anyone born in the U.S. no matter if they're here legally or not are U.S. citizens" What? If they're born here they're legal because anyone born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens
4:44 Until oil is suddenly found and the US demands the land back.
My aunt and Grandma moved from Wisconsin to Rio Rico two years ago. They moved back last month. Now it makes more sense why they had to go cross the border to get there
