Serious question...a few years from now when much of the Southwestern US is majority Mexican, various state legislatures controlled by Mexicans vote to return to Mexico, people in Mexico holding massive demonstrations in favor of SW states returning, massive demonstrations in SW states supporting the vote....Should the rest of the US be exercised over the issue?
How did California join the US in the first place? It was part of Mexico. Under the Mexican constitution, the US had no right to take it.
By the time it gets to that point the rest of the U.S. would probably be thrilled to see those states secede and join Mexico.
Have the Mexicans in the Soutwest an autonomous republic, whith its own constitution, parliment, government and budget as russophone Crimea has? If they don’t, they cannot claim a breakaway from any State in the US.
***Should the rest of the US be exercised over the issue?***
Yes, but should we expect France to come to our rescue? They may surrender all of California to them.
Serious answer.....there was a war with Spain and the US, Spain went to war with Mexico. Mexico lost, Spain turned the land over to the US.
Mexican does not own or have they ever owned the land they are claiming, it is liberal bovine execrate.
Mexico has an issue with losing the land they need to learn to fight, and win.
The fake anger belongs pointed towards the Spanish.
Re: should the US be concerned about South West voting to go back “home” to Mexico or the concept we stole Mexico's territory in the 1800’s
Didn't Spain control Mexico until the 1821 and the Treaty of Hildago happen in 1848?
I have never understood how Mexico can claim we took their land when they only had it less than 30 years
During those 30 +- years didn't Mexicans living in the Texas and California territories also seek protection from their own Mexican government ?
In the case of the Crimea didn't Russia get aide from the indigenous people of Crimea (Tartars) to throw off Ottoman rule?
That would never happen. They'd have to give up federal money, etc.
