It really get my blood boiling hearing we stole the southwest from Mexico. From 1846 to 1848 we were at war with Mexico over territory because of the annexation of Texas. President Polk sent the Army to the Rio Grande to secure the border. To the Mexican government was considered an act of war. This was the start of the Mexican war. To tell history is not always pleasant. We were not out to conquer a sovereign nation to annex it. The Army did occupy Mexico city till a new government was formed and crafted the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This defined the post war land boundaries between the United States and Mexico.
There is also the Gadsden Purchase. James Gadsden, U.S. Minister to Mexico, and General Antonio López de Santa Anna, President of Mexico, signed the Gadsden Purchase in Mexico City on December 30, 1853. The treaty settled the dispute over the exact location of the Mexican border west of El Paso, Texas, giving the U.S. claim to approximately 29,000 square miles of land in what is now southern New Mexico and Arizona, for the price of $10,000,000. So were is the theft of land? There was a war, After the war there was a peace treaty ceasing all hostilities between the United States and Mexico. With a 10 million dollar land purchase payed to the Mexican Government from our treasury.
For those people who claim the southwest United States and Norte Mexico calling it AZLAN claiming the Aztec land. The only native indian tribes on record I can recall are the Navajo. Apache and Pueblo indians in the southwest United States.
The present day Mexican government with it's parliament calling for the retaking of the southwest states is in violation of the treaties Mexico agreed to. So all who claiming the re conquering of US soil to Norte Mexico better consider the source. International Communists movement is fueling the fires of propaganda.
