Answer 2

ROTF. Um, 'no'. How about you go and reform Mexico so it's less of a hole, and stop trying to leech off the United States?
The rhetoric says that mexicans are all 'hard working' and stuff, well let's SEE it! Mexico's a hole, and it'll REMAIN a hole until the actual citizens OF mexico stand up, and show a little civic pride. IN mexico. As in 'go home, and start applying some of that 'hard work' toward your own domestic problems.

For further review on 'stole' etc., review the treaty of guadalupe hidalgo, signed between the US and Mexico in the year 1848.
Also, the purchase of 1853 that settled any claims for all time that followed after that.

If america hadn't expanded into those lands, know what they'd be? Northern Mexico, complete with goats, poverty, and no future...but, give california time, they're getting there! LOLOL

Answer 3

Umm. . get a history book, dude. You don't know what you are talking about. The people who have been coming here for decades illegally are not now and NEVER were (nor were their ancestors) ever American Indians.

The Americans took the land (by war [spoils] and also by purchase) from the Indians that were living here then, not from any of those South of the border.

None of the illegals coming here are descendants of those that were here then.

They are the descendants of those who lived further South, in Mexico city, etc.

Maybe as part of the purchase the Americans should have given a free endless supply of good factual history books (to be continued to be given well into the next century and a half)

Answer 4

Because this is America and it was not stolen from Mexico.
Mexico steals from Mexico - corruption is rampant, nothing can get improved. Demoralized, the citizenry invades America and tries to circumvent the immigration process.
Why can't they focus on improving their own standard of living where they are in their own home country?
Start small - work on water, a basic element of life Mexico seems to have trouble with, and then expand to bigger and better projects, like developing your oil reserves to benefit not just a corrupt few - but many.
Thanks for asking.

Answer 5

And the Mexicans should give Mexico back to the Aztec and Inca people. Most Mexicans are a mix of Spanish and natives plus many other nationalities thats why its called Mexico which means mixed up. Plus Mexico can't make us our military is to powerful and we can blow them off the map in 10 minutes.

Answer 6

No Mexican citizen lost any property when the governments were changed. The US honored all titles from Mexico when they became the government of Texas Etc. Get it straight all you would be doing is exchanging the US government for one of the most corrupt governments in the world. No private property would be exchanged unless confiscated by new government. No private property was confiscated or exchanged when the US bought the right to govern.

Answer 7

We won it fair and square in the Texas Revolution and kept it in the american mexican war. If we were to give back land to the Mexican government we would either need to relocate millions of people to other parts of the US causing severe overcrowding or turn all the people living in that land to Mexican citizens. I don't US citizens would like that would they.

Answer 8

I'm really sorry that none of these people realize they only read "WHITE"history books.They fail to realize as well that they come from a race that has spent it's entire live Stealing from OTHERS,You see they actually believe they are real AMERICAN's they don't make the connection to their past,they are not that smart and the ones who are will not admit it.

Answer 9

O.K. But Mexico has to give us back all their money, and all the illegal immigrants have to leave America immediately and not return until they are willing to become U.S. Citizens.

Answer 10

Why should we give it back. All the wet backs are coming any way.

And Why the hell do I have to press "1" for English.?

If the wet backs wanted to get away from what they are leaving then why do they still act like they do? You would think that they would be glad to be here.

Answer 11
