We whooped your @ss in that war and we can do it again.
what are we waiting for??? lets do it again!
They seriously want to re-litigate the Mexican-American War? How about World War II?
How many square inches of land on this planet hasn’t been invaded or occupied?
Any other wars where you want a do-over? How about how Mexico got the land from the [next level more] indigenous people? Are you going to reverse that too, or are you just a brain damaged hypocrite?
How about this, we will enforce our border and you will comply or die.
Wow! Why not just lawfully cross into Mexico ( they carry US documents, right? And stay. I am sure the Mexican govt will feed, clothe educate and employ you free gratis.... If you go and then find there is no light at the end of that tunnel, and try to return, we will have to think about it.....
If Mexico wants another war then this time we get to take Cabo San Lucas and Cozumel!
If conquest,appropriation, and purchase cannot make a border “legal” then there are no legal borders anywhere.
“With Sunday’s election of Andrés Manuel López Obrador as Mexico’s next president, the idea to revisit the legality of our southern border, proposed by Mexican leftist leader Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano, is suddenly not so crazy.”
Yeah, sorry Marcela. That idea is still bats**t crazy.
Could you or someone refresh my memory please? Didn’t Mexico start that war?
The reality is....Mexico shouldn’t exist...It should have become part of the United States.
Secondly, if we are going to open up the terms of the treaty, we could just annex all of Mexico. Two points here: (1) There was sentiment back in 1848 to annex all of Mexico. (2) One might wonder why one wants to have a Republic of Mexico at all given all the Mexicans who want to live in the U.S.
I should respect a paper that is willing to publish alternative views--but can one wonders if there were more plausible and sane views to publish.
You see, the etymology of Mexico is Nahua. Metztli means moon. Xictli is bellybutton. Co is an suffix that refers to "place". So it means "The belly button of the moon".
Mexico refers to the "place for the Mexica people"... and most of them today are decendants of the conquistadors from Spain who invaded them.
Have we ever bombed Mexico ? If not, now would be a good time.
Shouldn’t of signed the Treaty morons.
Now is the moment to revisit the sanity of anyone living in Sham Fransicko.

Oh Please, Please, Pretty Please push this idea as hard as you can on the lead-up to the 2018 mid-terms!!!! :)
The Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 assigned much of what is now the US to Spain—and those territories fell to Mexico when Mexico became independent a few years later, but there were very few Mexicans in those territories. Some of the non-Indian population had come directly from Spain. California was sparsely populated until the Gold Rush—and the Gold Rush would have made it impossible for Mexico to keep it even without the War of 1846-1848. There are some Californians, New Mexicans, and Texans who can trace their lineage back to when those areas belonged to Mexico but most of the Hispanics of the Southwest are immigrants from further south.
