Two Countries One Lie is a group of Spanish and Mexican land grant descendents dedicated to finding justice for the alleged victimization of their ancestors. The group met to consider the next steps in their quest for justice for the alleged fraud that was perpetrated on Spanish and Mexican land grantees via the 1941 Convention between Mexico and the United States which was to serve as a \u2018final adjustment and the settlement of certain unsettled claims of Nationals of the United States of America and of the United Mexican States\u2019.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sierra presented arguments and documents which added validity to the groups\u2019 claims of an alleged injustice. Other spokespersons for the individual families presented information and collaborated to unite the families to further their cause. The group is to hold another meeting at McAllister Hall auditorium at San Antonio College on April 22, 2017. After the meeting all attendees were treated to a fried fish dinner graciously provided by the Hinojosa family who sponsored the La Feria event.
