Didn't the mexicans claim half of the west until the anglos cheated them with they treaty of guadalupe?
Answer:
GOOD QUESTION AND FOR SURE YOU WILL RECEIVE LOTS OF RACIST ANSWERS. YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA ABOUT IT ALL.
Er...they were paid for the land, so that's more of a business transaction that stealing...last time I checked, theives don't usually give you money.
Don't know, but "THEY WUZ ROBBED" or fell for some fancy talkin'
If the Mexicans had half of the West it would be as poor as the rest of Mexico. It is not the location , it is what people were able to do with it. When poor immigrants come to the USA, it is to enjoy what has been built
You are very correct. Mexico has its land stolen by the whiteman. The "US" states of California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Maine all rightfully belong to mexico. America pretty much has no right to dictate who can and cannot enter those lands. If America wants to keep the lands, then it really should pay mexico for the land. If you compare the land value of that land now, to how much the Americans paid for it back then, then you will see how much they ripped off the mexican people.
So America, we either pay the mexican government the full price of what the land is worth now, or we simply let the mexicans take their land back.
yes they owned most of the western US.. i think many people are angry because of language barrier, other than that, they dont have a reason to be mad,but from the news i have read on yahoo news, some have children in USA and then go back to mexico and draw social security from american government..so yahoo news should know the truth if they put it online.
Oh yeah right they were paid for it? Not! They weren't paid for the land as the president of Mexico told the US that they weren't for sale...Polk then decided it was his manifest destiny to take the land anyway. Learn your history and facts before you assume things. Paying to repair damage done by war does not mean you legitimately purchased any land it means that you stole it. If you go to your neighbor and hold him hostage and threaten to kill his family if he doesn't sign his house to you does it suddenly make the home yours because he signs and then you give him ten dollars?
I think you might do a web search into the history of the Mexican - American war, witch by the way Mexico was getting there butts kicked, and Mexico was pay for it, when in fact we could have just took it.
Wait just a minute! Didn't the Mexicans steal the land from the Native Americans. I think the only fair solution is to give the land back to the Indians, get back on our wooden ships and sail back to Europe or wherever. I hope you will set a good example for the rest of us and be the first one to go!
and didn't the United State Marines kick the **** out of the mexican army and take the mexican capital? and why are mexicans not smart enough to restart their own economy so they do not have to come to the USA to fuc* up the english language
they sold it to the U.S. if you or mexico feel cheated you should thank mexico's ancestors
p.s. just look at most of their answers this is how they feel now think about millions of people who are here illegally who have been taught this lie that we stole from them. they don't want to be part of America they want America.
I'll tell you the answer right now. They get mad because they're ignorants and because they don't know anything about history, all they care about is how much money they make per hour!
And who did the Mexicans steal it from???
Those are the breaks, and maybe we should also put them on reservations..????
Actually, the Mexicans didn't steal it for anyone as we are mestizos. We were created when the Spanish came over and had babies with the Native people of the lands. So we have an actual claim to the land. Many people saying that we need to read up on our history should follow their own advice.
If the Mexican still had half the U.S. it would be just like Mexico today, & if they somehow got it back, it would soon be Mexico. A place people want to leave.
You need to understand a few things.
1. We didn't rob them, we went to war with them & won.
2. We rightfully claimed the land after we won the war.
3. We didn't cheat them out of anything.
4. Not very many of them were living in the area at the time.
5. Most of the ones that lived in the area were glad that we won because we improved there lives as well as theirs.
6. The ones that stayed here after we won, don't want Mexico here because then they would have to go further North.
7. How can you rob someone of something that they never had?
8. Do you even know if they have any Mexican Tanks, Planes, Ships? What would it look like?
9. Are there any sports cars that you know of that are made in Mexico? Like a B.M.W.? Bentz?
10. Is there anything that comes out of Mexico besides Crime?
11. We could've taken all of Mexico but we didn't. We decieded no to bother.
Well after you consider the previous list, get back to me on this subject.
stole their land is rigth.......after war, Mexican Haciendas in the US, were pushed to pay high nonsense taxes that they couldnot affort,(especially when they did'nt know about the laws or the language). They were force to go south.
we still have tittles of Propeties from back then, some of the land is already build on, but most of it is "federal land'' so, if the US after war, gave some money to a rich group of Mexicans but also gave money and tax brakes to the Japanese, Why isn't Japan an other star on US flag?
Thanks, I love the USA
You do err in not knowing your history.
Did you drop out of school, or skipped history class? Native tribes were already there in the west, all over it. Many tribes. Spain had killed off some of them, and sent their newly bred and trained "Mexicans" to control it. After the Mexicans were kicked all the way back to Mexico, they sold it to the US government. This is history, you should try reading up on it. Everytime a Mexican makes this claim, it just proves how uneducated your people are.
so war and payment are legitimate ways to earn land? if that were the case, mexico wouldn't even be a country, do you honestly think mexico never conquered land? you're a moron. if mexico wanted to keep california, why did they take the money? if war and payment are cheating, then almost every country would be guilty of it
nevertheless, if mexico did own the west, it would be as poor as the rest of mexico, and they'd be moving into the east, there would still be an immigrant problem, it wouldn't solve anything, save for some of these minority complaints
