Come and take it! You’ll have to go through me first. I’m a 65 yr old lady and I’ll be damned if you think you can mess with a Texas!
Um, no, they don’t,
We are a sovereign nation. We will buiild that wall.
Mexicans, who threw off the yoke of Spain some 23 years earlier and who had originally conquered the native tribes decided they didn’t want to be a part of some basket case nation, which was still nascent and then underwent further revolutions, overthrows and assassinations of leaders until the PRI was established in 1929.
Heck, even Mexicans of today want out from under the oppression and lack of opportunities and immigrate to America for a better life.
Mexico can’t even govern large swaths of their country and have freed control to the cartels so, they appear to me a government still include and emerging.
GFY...
Santa Anna gave up, the Lone Star State gave up on Mexico and California still carries the banner of The Bear Revolt on its State flag.
Zactly...
It was a better deal than the natives of Manhattan received, pretty beads and all...
see what happens when you don’t teach snowflakes history class? Eat it mexico and the horse you rode in on.

Hard to take the article seriously when the first statement is a bald face lie.
LOL!
I was lucky to live in Texas for a while when I was younger!
Great state; friendly people!
Take care, FRiend!
Surely I'm not the only person who snickered at the idea of the NYT publishing this cr@p...Do you think the Indians have a better case in regards to Manhattan?
Mexico has no right to either. Screw the NYTs!
We were a Republic before that damn traitor Houston signed us away to the US but we will once again get our freedom back from the hacks in DC. #TEXIT
forgot to add, in 1848 at the time we paid $15 Million, the average farmer earned $120/yr - if he was lucky.
I agree, it is time to crush the narco-state of Mexico, burn Mexico Cuty to the ground, and seize all of Mexico west of the continental divide all the way south to Guatamala. Western Mexico in is mostly undeveloped territory and empty so we can settle the ungrateful illegal aliens there.
As Hayakawa said back in the 60s, we stole it fair and square. Just like the mexican stole it from the Spanish and the spanish from the indians, and the indians from each other.
Remember the Zimmerman telegram of 19 Jan 1917? It was from the Foreign Secretary of the German Empire to the German ambassador to Mexico.
In the event the US entered WWI, Germany, Japan, and Mexico were to form an alliance against the US. The proposed benefits to Mehico are illustrated in light green on this map:

PING
Thanks for reminding me about that. Mexico has never been a good neighbor, siding with Germany and Japan.
True and if my historical memory serves me correctlty; we won that land fair and square during tne Mexican War.
