With all due respect. This is posted from MEXICO. Last week at a birthday party, the chatter and talk around the table was exactly this. One of the political candidates for President is pushing this concept to rally support. Tis always ironic and a bit disconcerting to see people actually think that these issues can be solved in a court at the United Nations, or in Mexico City, without taking into consideration the people who live in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. Even in 1846...people should have a RIGHT to form the type of government that they wanted, without outside interference.
And what about the native Americans who found themselves unwilling members of the Spanish Empire?
Give Mexico City back to the Aztecs!
Our Little Brown Brothers have had their panties in a twist ever since they couldn’t subdue the Texans. Mexico (as successor to Spanish colonial imperialism) had no more legitimate claim to the territory the US took after the Mexican War than the US did (as successor to British colonial imperialism) - it was a simple matter of who could take it and keep it. The only people with a legitimate beef were the Natve Americans.
Mexico remains a fundamentally corrupt and lawless society, which owes its limited prosperity to the US. There are very good reasons that the US has prospered while Mexico has not and why Mexicans come North rather than the other way around.
They can go [deleted] themselves.
