I used to think that this was an invasion. Now, I see that it's just that the US government is simply giving up states to become Northern Mexican states.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Texas the only state that's allowed by law to secede from the Union? Well, if the US government gives them up, I don't suppose that's the same as seceding, is it.

You are wrong. Texas is the only state that is allowed to carve itself into five separate states without asking permission of anyone. I often bring it up when we recite the pledge to the Texas flag at Republican functions. It goes, "Honor the Texas flag. Texas, one and indivisible, I pledge allegiance to thee."
Last time I saw this get any attention was during the liberal 60's, LBJ included, when conservatives (then Democrats) proposed it as a mechanism to putt 8 additional conservative Senators in DC.
Don't ever expect it to be used, but it is there in our statehood package.
