Did America stole the land from the Mexicans?

Question

I was reading some history and i read that some parts of usa belong to the Mexicans(Like Texas),and that for years,years,years,they have been fighting for their rights (This Land) and you know what is the interesting part,They will be the owners of this land,years might past but it will eventually happen..

History books leave some parts out,but come on if every thing was fought for and paid legally and it was a clean deal,as we say.why has it always came back to haunt America? something was not right, it was a dirty deal. and you have to admit that with all the illegals coming in,millions and millions in our future they will finaly have their land back,because it was stolen and it belongs to them. The thruth always comes out, know matter how much time passes if they are the true owners they will get their land back.

So Mexicans are real North Americans with all the rights to keep living in America, as their ancestors have done for ages...

Don't give me that crap to go read history(I have read them),I know that in no history book will they admit it was a dirty deal or that it ever belong to them..but if you put everything together it boils down to them being the true owners..

Answer 1

yes, Mexicans, and native americans who they killed or pushed into Mexico and Canada

Answer 2

It was not stolen it was gin=ven to the US in the Treaty of Quadalupe Hidalgo after the Mexican American War and Mexicans were given the chose to stay and become Us citizens or to go to Mexico. Some stayed and some left. Also the Mexicans can be said to have stolen the land from the Indians too. So what would you do now over 100 yrs later give it back to Mexico because they say it was stolen and want it back. They only want it back because it is now developed and industrialized in a way they couldn't do on their own. Mexico had not incorportated the land of Texas it was considered a frontier when the Mexicans began to attack USsettlers, precipitating the war.

Answer 3

Yes the Texans did come from America, but if you read close you would have seen that they were invited to settle in an unforgiving waste of land. The Part of Texas that was setled by Americans was not good. There was nothing there! The Mexican Gov't had asked for help top settle the land, to become profitable. But Americans as always wanted freedom of choice, becaues the Mexican gov't wanted everybody to be Roman Catholic. So people said no and then came the Texan Mexicain war. If Mexico really wanted that land don't you think they would have fought longer instead of giving up so easily

Answer 4

Here's a page in history you missed sweetie.

The Mexican Cession is a historical name for the region of the present day southwestern United States that was ceded to the U.S. by Mexico in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo following the Mexican-American War. The cession of this territory from Mexico was a condition for the end of the war, as United States troops occupied Mexico City, and Mexico risked being completely annexed by the U.S. The United States also paid $15,000,000 ($297,310,309 in 2005) for the land, which was the same it had offered for the land prior to the war. Under great duress, Mexico accepted the offer. (wikipedia)

GL America had every chance and all the necessary power to take ALL of the Mexican territory. A gracious purchase was made instead and Mexico was able to keep a large piece of land for themselves, a good deal of money was made. Without this purchase there would be no Mexico at all. America doesn't "owe" Mexico anything. America purchased the land you're grieving over.......fair and square.

Answer 5

I dont think of that mexico could definitely care that plenty approximately this land or that land. What maximum folk of Mexicans could like is to no longer be judged with the aid of finished lack of understanding of a situation. Its like asserting "dont enable the mexicans come right here, they scent undesirable" and then waiting for the government to bend over backwards and placed a super tub on the border. this is a super situation ive observed, in basic terms that a million/2 the folk who respond make solutions that could make a 12 year previous chortle with the aid of fact theyre so stupid. I advise, what number of people have definitely appeared up on info and figures with out falling asleep or in basic terms have a 5 2d look and then claiming to be an expert. the government hires professionals to be responsive to what to do. in the event that they accompanied what the folk on right here mentioned, there could already be a worldwide war 3.

Answer 6

your going about this all wrong. What you have to do is find an indian family and convince you and your family to give up all your posessions, futures, real-estate or whatever you have, and give it to them by your own free will. Then, in a moment of true justice just to show how terrible you feel and should be punished for the crimes commiteed by Puerto Ricans for killing so so many Indians and other people, you should have a mass suicide as to never bother those indians again.

If you or your family will not do this, then when it comes to Mexico and US land - YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK SO SHUT UP.

When you say steal, you mean either they woke up one day and there was no ground under their feet or we did not pay them for the land. NEITHER IS TRUE.

Answer 7

Did the Spanish steal the land from the Aztecs?

The Mexican government agreed to the deal, and there were no funded schools or health services then. In fact, if Mexico had kept the land, no one would be trying to get into it.

Mexico has no gentler history than America, so it has no moral argument at all.

Answer 8

Well, America provoked the war and foisted the terms of the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (including the penny-an-acre land scam) upon the nation it forcibly undermined. Fairness did not play into this at all.

In regards to jb_freq's reponse about Texas: You forgot to mention how Mexico abolished slavery, and the settlers in Texas didn't like that one bit. Of course, when Mexico forbids slavery, its seen as an infraction on settler's freedoms :-/

Answer 9

I don't know why you're making this declaration to an internet forum. No one here can do anything about it one way or the other. If you want to make some serious waves, contact your local authroities and tell them. Or write the capitals of these states and tell them. Or go march in DC. No one here can do anything for you. You are wasting your time. But feel free if you consider arguing with people an idea of a good time.
No one in an internet forum can help you.

Answer 10

Neither the Mexicans, Whiteys or Native Americans are the right owners of the land. None of them really originated here in what we call "America" and evidence has demonstrated that they migrated out of somewhere. Best way to look at it is by the dominant culture rule, big fish eats small fish and so on. Mexicans kicked the natives out, US kicked the Mexicans out, I can't wait to see who kicks butt next!

Answer 11

No one is the true owner.
All lands were fought for in the past.
Where did the Mexicans came from? Spain?
What about the indians that the Spainsh had killed to get the land.
We have to learn to live together, we already stop fighting over land. Well, most of us anyway.
