Mexican resentment about 1848 comes from the discrimination experienced in the years afterward

The only thing the Mexicans should resent is that the US didn't stay, They would today have shoes and houses and clean water and an IRA and wouldn't have to run thru desert to get half of that.

This is a conversation I overheard recently by employees in A Burger King;

• Girl with Mexican accent:"How many states in the USA?"
• Boy with American accent:"50, 51 if you count Mexico"
• Girl with Mexican accent(agitated):"OH NO. You cannot have Mexico, That is Ours!"

LOL. Many Mexicans at the time felt the exact same way. In fact, they asked General Winfield Scott to stay on as President!
