Thomas Fallon was a soldier in the Mexican-American War and a mayor of San Jose, California, but now left-wing activists are calling for “melting” the bronze statue erected in his honor because they believe he was a racist and a white supremacist. He planted an American flag in 1846 into the city’s soil to claim the land for the United States. [SNIP] “As an immigrant, it makes me feel extremely unwanted and unwelcome,” local high school student Valentina Coronel said in the Chronicle report, adding “we have basically destroyed the Native American, the Hispanic culture in the whole county. I see the remnants of the culture being erased quickly.”
Valentina Coronel Is a racist colonizer who demands the destruction of Anglo culture.
Just as her ancestors did to the Mayans and Aztec,

When we were kids, we were told "You are old enough for your wants not to hurt you"
"People do what you let them" Please stop letting them. In war, some people win, some lose. You lost.

FTA: ...many using the same words to describe Fallon’s legacy: Colonialism. Imperialism. Racism. Injustice. White supremacy. Violence. Genocide.' Of course the same words; they all got the same DNC email. And, also FTA:“As an immigrant, it makes me feel extremely unwanted and unwelcome,” To hear her tell it, why does she call herself an 'immigrant'? Isn't she the NATIVE, and Americans are the immigrants?

Up until now, it was enough to remove a statue. Now they want the statue destroyed?

Tantrums of the perpetually offended. Stamping their feet and holding their breath should get them absolutely nothing in the real world.

As an immigrant, you should be trying to assimilate into your new country. If you are uncomfortable living in an American state that exists because the country of your birth was conquered, go home.
People who whine about "stolen" land will never admit that America gained land via conquest, not theft. Mexicans and Indians did not just hand over their land to greedy Americans. Plenty of blood was shed on both sides of many battles.

When are people going to figure out that leftists are unruly brat children who will never stop stomping their feet and demanding? When I was a child there was a cure for this behavior but we as a society have deemed it unlawful.

Psst, Valentina. Maybe it is just your opinions that are unwelcome. Your opinion matters as much as mine, so all opinions matter, especially those you keep to yourself.

Destroyed the Hispanic culture? One can't get away from it, in one's face and taking over whole regions. And by the way chiquita, we PAID for the land that Mexico lost in that war with blood and MONEY.

All in keeping with the lefties pitting one culture against another... the left figures if WE are busy fighting each other... they can do what they want with our country...their game plan is becoming more visible with each move.... but... 75 million of US see their plan and reject it.... along with many latinos who are American citizens and want nothing to do with their plan to legalize illegal aliens to boost their voter rolls...time for voter ID...

We were once a " melting pot" where we had unity and the mettle to become one country. We have become a "Recycling center" where different metals are separated. Recycling centers are for trash.

The only one making you feel uncomfortable is you! Stop feeing sorry for yourself and your imagined being offended over something that happened 150 years ago! Your liberal guilt and years of indoctrination that you are being oppressed are the problem, not a statue. You are fee to move back to your home country if you don't like it here.

If this high school student is here illegally, then she is right. We don't want her or her ilk. Go home and do it by the legal way, then you get the welcome to America treatment. This nation is being taken advantage of by criminals who enter illegally, and the elites who want the cheap labor. I hope I live long enough to watch the shocked faces of the idiot corporates who watch their leverage disappear overnight if amnesty ever passes. Does anyone think that those who were once considered illegals would stay in the shadows? I do not think so. They are very vocal when they want to be. The Karma bite that illegals hiring employers get is going to be absolutely delicious to watch.

She's a PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT! She has been brainwashed! I grew up in San Jose and lived there 34 years before moving to the north bay. We paid taxes, voted, did community service and watched San Jose turn from a sleepy little local town into a leftist big city with a huge population of illegal aliens thanks to Sacramento politicians. We lost the traditional way of life in California and sadly we left in 2020.

OMG! There’s way more “Hispanic culture” in that county than there was 40 years ago. They have a frickin statue of an Aztec god in the park.

Not supporting this effort, but even U.S. Grant declared his objection to the pursuits of the Mexican-American War.

Coronel, YOU are the racist...anti-American racist. You should be melted. You feel unwelcome....you ARE. Not because of your ethnicity (Hispanic is NOT a race....and, for the record, I am Hispanic myself) but because you are a HATER and anti-American. Go to Mexico or some other Latin American country if you want to FEEL more "comfortable". Fallon was here before you were. Why should you feeeeeeel like you are more important than he was??? Go away!
