Mr. Kessler, recently of Eastern Europe by way of Los Angeles, is of the opinion that This Is Mexico and It's Their Land, Not Yours.

California had Spanish settlers mostly ignored by a corrupt Mexican government that claimed a large part of Central America too.

He must have missed the part when we conquered the Mexican Army and marching into Mexico City to accept Mexico’s surrender.
Mexico belonged to US, but even we realized it sucked, so we gave most of it back.

so we gave most of it back We did better than that - out of Christian guilt we paid them for it, when really there was no reason to.
He implies that the $15 million was chump change but that was actual dollars in 1846 - corrected for inflation it was billions. It helped the Mexican Republic with their debts.
There was opposition to the Mexican War in the U.S. (Lincoln and Thoreau being famous cases) so this was a political sop to them.

You forgot the parentheses around “logic”
To: Regulator
I was waiting for him to give a reason why the treaty was invalid. It would have been amusing if that treaty was invalid and the later Gadsden Purchase was OK.
No legal arguments are given. Basically, he is defining Mexcian as a cultural identity, not a legal one. That being the case, we may as well call Californians Spaniards. However, all prerogatives stemming from the Papal dividing line between Spain and Portugal are long gone.
Ahh, poor Mexicans living in the U.S. State of California, betrayed by history and your own people . . . c’est la guerre.

Or, five times the size of the Louisiana Purchase. Or was Napoleon forced to sell it off?

We paid the same amount for the Louisiana Purchase and a bit over $7 million for Alaska.
The government made better deals in those days.

“”The waves of Mexican (and Central American) immigrants returning to California””
Yeah, just how can you “return” to a place where you’ve never been in your life? It’s just like how can the term “African American” apply to people who’ve never been in Africa in the first place?
