Why not split it between the 3 entities then? I'm sure they'll take it. If we're in the business of decolonizing let's get serious!


Taking this seriously would require differentiating between the various parties. Absolutely, indigenous Americans should be compensated for the recent theft of their lands. That compensation could take the form of return of land, or if the land's current use makes that impossible then we can print some money like we do for all our stupid wars.

Mexico, however, is also a colonial state. If we compensate them, soon someone will suggest that Spain should get a piece.
