Answer:
Well look at what the Mexican government has done with Mexico so far. If they knew what they were doing all of those illegals would not be in the US.
We won and bought this land.We have laws.That argument is tiring.
Treaties are the law of the land, actually.
And how was it that Mexico got that land, to begin with?
To answer your question: We won. Mexico lost.
Next question please.
#1 law of war - to the victor go the spoils !
Sounds like you are eating some sour grapes.
"Legality" is an empty word when not supported by force of arms.
In this world, in the end, might makes right.
Get armed. Have many children. Teach them who the enemy is.
It was a war,
It was over 150 years ago,
We paid for the land,
To the victor belong the spoils.
And at the time Mexico had the larger, better equipped army..
don't try rewrite history, Okay?
1.) Mexico refuses to recognize the Annexation of Texas.
2.) Mexico Invades the United States!
The massing of Mexican troops on the southern bank of the Rio Grande, coupled with the refusal of the Mexican government to receive Slidell, led President Polk to order General Zachary Taylor to move to the borders. Taylor marched to the Rio Grande and fortified a position on the northern bank. The Mexican and the American troops were thus facing each other across the river. When Taylor refused to retreat to the Nueces, the Mexican commander crossed the Rio Grande, ambushed a scouting force of 63 Americans, and killed or wounded 16 of them (April 24, 1846).
When the Mexican commissioners made advances for peace at the beginning of the year 1848, they were given terms almost as liberal as those offered them before Scott had stormed and occupied their capital. By the treaty concluded at Guadalupe-Hidalgo, February 2, 1848, Mexico was required to cede California and New Mexico to the United States and to recognize the Rio Grande as the southern and western boundary of Texas. In return, the United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 cash and assumed some $3,250,000 more in claims of American citizens on the Mexican government. Considering the facts that California was scarcely under Mexican control at all and might have been taken at any moment by Great Britain, France, or Russia; that New Mexico was still the almost undisturbed home of Indian tribes; that the land from the Nueces to the Rio Grande was almost a desert; and that the American troops were in possession of the Mexican capital, the terms offered Mexico were very generous. Polk was urged by many to annex the whole country of Mexico to the United States, but he refused to consider such a proposal.
The Justice of the Mexican War.
The Mexican War has generally been condemned by American historians as "the foulest blot on our national honor," a war forced upon Mexico by slaveholders greedy for new territory, a perfect illustration of La Fontaine's fable of the wolf picking a quarrel with the lamb solely for an excuse to devour him. But Mexico had insulted our flag, plundered our commerce, imprisoned our citizens, lied to our representatives, and spurned our envoys. As early as 1837 President Jackson said that Mexico's offenses "would justify in the eyes of all nations immediate war." To be sure we were a strong nation and Mexico a weak one. But weakness should not give immunity to continued and open insolence. We had a right to annex Texas after that republic had maintained its independence for nine years; yet Mexico made annexation a cause of war. We were willing to discuss the boundaries of Texas with Mexico; but our accredited envoy was rejected by two successive Mexican presidents, who were afraid to oppose the war spirit of their country. We even refrained from taking Texas into the Union until Great Britain had interfered so far as to persuade Mexico to recognize the independence of Texas if she would refuse to join the United States
You didn't answer Dar's question and I would very much like to hear your answer to it,the question was...
And how was it that Mexico got that land, to begin with?
You are from Uruguay, who cares what you think?
and what kind of a mess would mexico make of the states we legally won from mexico in the war? mexico can't take care of mexico. if we are such hypocrites and evil people stay in mexico and help it to grow strong and stop trying to weaken the united states' economy and social programs.
Jayzus, spaz! If you are so damn educated one would think you would take a moment and make sure your grammar and spelling were sufficient enough to help your case, not work against you.
Tu eres Pinche Nino Vavoso. (You are an f***ing snot-nosed little kid).
Maybe it's time to make war with Mexico again. This time when we win we take over all of Mexico. Then we will send all other Mexicans that fought against us to Iraq. Once there you can fight for that land. Good luck!
stupido
God your arguements are tiring. Get over the fact that your country sucks raw juevos. Quit trying to take over what you had no hand in shaping.
