Well, then I guess that they will have to give back all of Central and South America back to Spain and Portugal.

I thought they already took California back?

Texas, Cal, and Arizona? What's wrong with New Mexico? /sarcasm

He wants Texas, Cal., Arizona Actually, he has a better case on Cal and Az than on Texas. Texas became independent following an internal revolt of its own citizens. That has long been recognized as a legititate means of establishing a new government/nation.
Cal & Az (Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico also, I think) we TOOK from Mexico after Winfield Scott handed Santa Anna his hindquarters on a platter. Since the Mexican War was fought over the enlightened cause of manifest destiny, Mexico might just find some court willing to hear their complaint.
That court might even call for a referendum.
I don't to may Scotsdaleites or LoxAngleirons are gonna vote to be wrapped in the warm loving embrace of stout, but poverty-stricken, Mother Mexica.

The way things are going, they may just get Georgia, too, despite it being on the eastern seaboard, one of the original colonies, and never a part of Mexico.

Now, lets not be too hasty here...Lets hear this gentleman out. Parts of California and the Arizona Cardinals we can be rid of. Maybe we can convince him to take the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts and select locales like Palm Beach, Florida too.

Plus New Mexico and Nevada.

He wants Texas, Cal., Arizona By the looks of things, they already have them and we are paying for the illegals to live in Arizona, California and here in Texas. Looks like it's all over but the argument to me.
