Should the US give back the land it took from Mexico?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

no not to be racists or anything but no because well all still need each others in the end

Answer 2

America never TOOK anything from Mexico. Like all other countries at the time, some areas were won as the spoils of war.
This is exactly how Mexico was taken from the Indians. My question to you is. Should Mexico give back the land it took from the Indians ?

Answer 3

You've your facts wrong, moron. The U.S. did not "take" any land from Mexico. The Mexicans started the Mexican war by entering U.S. territory and spilling American blood on American soil.
The U.S promptly whipped Mexico's a-ss and were nice enough to pay the Mexicans $15,000,000 for the southeast. That is very rare for a victor to pay a loser for the spoils of war especially on said victor did not start. Should the U.S return Alaska to Russia?
Should the U.S. return the Louisiana purchase to France? Should the U.S. return the 13 original colonies to England? Florida to Spain?

Answer 4

OH year of course. Ever hear about the war we fought to keep America. We also paid Santa Ana $2000 for some land.

Answer 5

The only reason Mexicans want to come here is becuase we are more developed and they can make more money here.

Mexico should give us some of their land so that we can develop it and then they would want to stay there.

Answer 6

no, there are alot of people living in that land now that would be angry to say the least. also mexico has enough ecomomic problems. that government couldn't support such a large territory

Answer 7

Not unless they intend to give the indians back their land. Or offer to send all the african americans back to their homeland.

Answer 8

The US should give that land to North Korea, in an effort to achieve lasting peace between the nations.
