Illegal aliens: Are the US regretful about stealing California, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, etc from Spain?

That is the reason some of the white people hate Mexicans of any type.If they were decent white people they would have to admit the USA invaded Mexico to force a war. The reason for the invasion was , Mexico refused to sell the land. Sure Mexico sold the land but they were forced to sell after they lost the war. In other words the USA was the aggressor in this war.

Texas stole itself, brilliant one. Never heard of a 'Texican'?

bimmer

steal them? have you taken a history class yet? we purchased most of that land. what we should have done was taken mexico during the mexican american war and we wouldn't have had a problem. instead, we were nice and gave it back. great big problem that caused. steal them, give me a break!

That is because many decided to stay here than remain under Mexican rule. You ignorant what ever you are, America bought that land from Mexico & now they are covating what is not theirs.

They never stole they simple bought it cheap. They Mexicans than wanted to still stay there stay and the ones that wanted to leave left.

Dude ... should have spent more time in history class listening instead of thinking about how you were going to convince the sheep to do your bidding.

Bernanke

No, why would should we? dude think about it... Pacific coast, Colorado Rockies, nice weather and Hot girls why would we regret that? im not saying that war is good or anything like that but if its already been done heck make the best out of it dont you think? Also it wasnt spain it was Mexico and you cant mix texas with the rest of the west since they had their own independence before the US intervention

Alwaysright

we payed millions for those states.so how did we steal them?
when have you ever known a country to pay for land they acquired in a war?we helped them so much and even gave them a chance to become citizens if they wanted to stay.

$15 million to be exact and we took over 3 million of Mexicos debt.

I don't understand your question; but, I'm not an illegal alien.

With all the posters , posting about what America education taught, I would like share a little knowledge with you.
"Illiteracy in America"
A government study found that 47% of U. S. adults (92 million) could not read, well enough to hold an above proverty level job. That 40% of U.S. employees are functional Illiterate.

That Mississippi had the most illiterate adults and that all of the former conferderate States led the nation with a high illiteracy rates.

All of those states mentioned will become Mexican American populated , There will be only a political take over,

Let me tell you something. That land sold when Santanas was the Mexican President. If you said that mexican are illegal aliens. How can you tellme about the Hungry Argentinians like you. one thing, Those States were owned from Mexico. Please study a History before you make a question.

Hey, bubbles, they didn't steal them from Spain, but from Mexico. Get your facts straight

And no, they are NOT regretful. That word does not exist in the government of the USA, and ( it seems ) either in many of its people. They consider the case closed because after stealing those territories they payed Mexico a certain amount for them

I wonder if it is legal, after you steal something, instead of give it back pay a certain amount for it
It looks like buying with the help of a shotgun

NO! NOT at ALL. Maybe all the mexicans of Spanish descent should give mexico back to the native Indians that were there first...I'm sure they don't feel guilty about the decimation of the Aztec Empire that was there before them.

USA need to regret to many Spain sh...

rachel t

yawn....boring....

The states you speak of we not "stolen" they were purchased and or won in the spanish american war. go back to the history books.

they named the in Spanish name to be respectful of their heritage. I think we should change that now.

Not To Serious

Is that what they teach you in school in Mexico

NSA

There was a war, America won. Then there was a treaty, in that treaty, the land you claim was stolen, was sold to the USA.

Your question has no basis in reality.

Yoda

Spain NEVER owned those states.

Mark B. is right. You need to go back to school.
