wow there, everybody's talking whoop a** and nobody think that in the FIRST place, ANGLOs and LATINO Tejanos defeated Santa Ana's army. It was NOT part of Mexico during the war of 1846-1848 between the US and Mexico. Tejanos fought for independence from Mexico because of the SAME reasons that so many Mexicans are leaving it's borders to THIS DAY. Mexico simply did not have the resources or the ambition to take care of it's OWN CITIZENS. Tejas, or Texas, as we know it, was an independent nation at the start of the 1846 war for ten years.

You really need to take a history course both from the Mexican and Texas perspectives. If, as you so ignorantly proclaim, Texas was stolen from Mexico, then it was stolen by mostly Mexicans who lived in the area at the time. That little war that started at the Alamo was a rebellion against a Mexican dictatorship. As you may recall it ended at San Jacinto with Gen. Santa Anna getting his butt kicked by a far inferior force -- made up of both MEXICANS and Americans. Therefore, what you are actually advocating is that you are going to take back and give to Mexico the same land that your forefathers fought so hard to liberate from that oppressive country...and, does that mean once you've accomplished this feat, you'd then illegally immigrate to Oklahoma because Texas would now be part of Mexico? Instead, why not just join me in working to make Texas an even better place for all of us.

I think those who want Mexico to reclaim these land are idiotic. They claim that we stole these land, but ignore that these land was stolen from the native. They didn't even have a strong hold. InCalifornia, Mexico only had a firm control on the coast, while the natives hold he inland areas. Mexico, almost lost California to the native, but the Natives got wiped out by disease. As with the rest of Indian history, there was a question if it was a biological attack. US onle was able to take California, because Mexico was so weakened by the Natives.

That you don't understand what happened in history is real clear by your question.
My suggestion is that you take time and study up on it to find out the foolishness of the suggestion that your question makes of you.
It is just painful to see someone that knows evidently knows so little about history attempting to make suggestions that flies against the reality.

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
It has been suggested that Mexican Cession be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
The Mexican Cession (red) and the Gadsden Purchase (orange). Part of the area marked as Gadsden Purchase near modern-day Mesilla, New Mexico was disputed after the Treaty.The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is the peace treaty that ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). The treaty provided for the Mexican Cession, in which Mexico ceded 1.36 million km² (525,000 square miles) (about 40% of its pre-war territory) to the United States in exchange for US$15 million. The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.
The cession included parts of the modern-day U.S. states of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming, as well as the whole of California, Nevada, and Utah. The remaining parts of what are today the states of Arizona and New Mexico were later ceded under the 1853 Gadsden Purchase.
The treaty was signed by Nicholas Trist on behalf of the United States and Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto and Miguel Atristain as plenipotentiary representatives of Mexico on February 2, 1848, at the main altar of the old Cathedral of Guadalupe at Villa Hidalgo (today Gustavo A. Madero, D.F.), slightly north of Mexico City as U.S troops under the command of General Winfield Scott were occupying Mexico City. It was subsequently ratified by the United States Senate on March 10, 1848 and by the Mexican government on May 19, 1848; the countries' ratifications were duly exchanged on May 30, 1848, at the city of Santiago de Querétaro. However, the version of the treaty ratified by the United States Senate eliminated Article 10, which stated that the U.S. government would honor and guarantee all land grants awarded in lands ceded to the United States to citizens of Spain and Mexico by those respective governments. Article 8 guaranteed that Mexicans who remained more than one year in the ceded lands would automatically become full-fledged American citizens (or they could declare their intention of remaining Mexican citizens); however, this Article was effectively weakened by Article 9, written into the treaty by the U.S. Senate, which stated that Mexican citizens would "be admitted at the proper time (to be judged of by the Congress of the United States).
The shifting of the Rio Grande would cause a later dispute over the boundary between Purchase lands and those of the state of Texas. (See Country Club Dispute.)

(1) Mexico lost the war to the US. We won it far and square.
(2) The state of Texas has far greater economic power than the country of Mexico (This should be a shame to your government). What makes you think Mexico government can handle Texas?
(3) Why can't you realize that Texas is the US land anyway?

There's nothing to realize. Such historical claims have no weight in the present. Texas is no more a part of Mexico, than Mexico is a colony of Spain.
