Wrong. Texas became a state in the USA in December 1845, before the Mexican-American War. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war, with the USA paying Mexico $15,000,000, quite a generous chunk of change considering that the US won the war handily, thanks to military men such as Robert E. Lee and Zachary Scott.

Mexicans whine about the fact that they lost their territory, but when you lose a war and sign a treaty, and get paid millions besides, you have nothing to whine about. Of course, through the invasion of our country by their citizens they’ll reclaim much of this territory, while Uncle Sugar feeds them, educates them, and medicates them at no cost. Can any country this stupid last?

You mean Zachary Taylor. Zachary Scott was an actor.

December 29, 1845

The United States annexed the Republic of Texas, admitted as the state of Texas. However, Mexico didn't accept the annexation or the Mexican border with Texas, which provoked the Mexican–American War.

December 13, 1853

On December 13, 1853, Antonio López de Santa Anna signed the Gadsden Purchase (known as Venta de la Mesilla in Mexico). He sold an area of 76,845 km² from the states of Sonora and Chihuahua for $10 million to the United States. The treaty was signed by U.S. President Franklin Pierce on June 24, 1853, and was ratified by the United States Senate on April 25, 1854. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_evolution_of_Mexico

Area Mexico ceded to the United States in 1848, minus Texan claims. The Mexican Cession consist of present day U.S. states of California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, half of New Mexico, less than half of Colorado, less than half of the southwest of Wyoming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Cession

This is history. God gives lands and countries to people who love and serve Him. When those people turn their backs on God, and start worshipping themselves (aka, "humanism"), He gives their lands and countries to their enemies.

This is what's happening. Our "stupidity" was in thinking that we could worship and serve Satan and get away with it.

In answer to your question, no. A country this stupid cannot survive. We're watching the beginning of the end.

I'm an old man, but I do worry for my children and grandchildren.
