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) (55%[2] of its pre-war territory) to the United States in exchange for US$15 million (equivalent to $313 million in 2006 dollars) and the ensured safety of pre-existing property rights of Mexican citizens in the transferred territories, the latter of which the United States subsequently failed to honor. The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million ($68 million in 2006 dollars) in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.
There ya go. See ya!

After the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848, border disputes between the United States and Mexico remained unsettled. Land that now comprises lower Arizona and New Mexico was part of a proposed southern route for a transcontinental railroad. U.S. President Franklin Pierce was convinced by Jefferson Davis, then the country's Secretary of War, to send James Gadsden (who had personal interests in the rail route) to negotiate the Gadsden Purchase with Mexico. Under the resulting agreement, the U.S. paid Mexico $10 million (equivalent to about $230 million in 2004 dollars[1]) to secure the land. With a few exceptions, such as the resolution of the Chamizal dispute, acquisition of land in this purchase defined the present boundaries of the continental United States.

That was over 175 years ago...you would think that they would have assimilated by now.
No, our government is trying to keep peoples mind off of the North American Union right now. This bill helps promote the Union and erase our borders.

No.
Our ancestors around 150 years ago did agree to 'buy' the land captured in the Mexican American war, though, which is why it's incorrect to say that certain states of the union 'belong' to Mexico.
That's probably what you're thinking of.

I don't recall us being tolerant of them coming here illegally by the millions being part of the deal.
Can you find the part of the agreement that states that once we BOUGHT that land we still had to let whoever come here regardless as to HOW they got here???
Look that up and get back with me.

Where is this supposed agreement? I think 150 years is time enough to assimilate to American culture.

Zapata, smell the coffee. We do not want illegal hordes of poor mexicans living next to us, we own this country and want them gone. End of story. We can and we will do it.
