I guess that Tony didn't know that the good old USA actually paid Mexico $15,000,000 for the land after we won the Mexican-American War in 1846, which was certainly generous of us. That was quite a chunk of change for mostly empty land because Mexico had never bothered to settle it for fear of the Apaches and Comanches. There's a lot of their history that Mexicans don't know.
