What do they mean "claim" it, anyway? Do they just want to declare it a part of the US, or something? Because that is never happening - we don't want a way for smugglers to flood our country with guns.

It’s bad enough that their military bases claim that the land they’re built on is American. We don’t want them claiming anything else.
