Texas was earned through blood, sweat and tears on the battlefeild, where most land borders are determined.

If Mexico wants it back, come try and take it! Punk!

Texas once belonged to Mexico, which once belonged to Spain. Before that it was just another border-less Indian territory.

It wasn't stolen from any country; indigenous people lived there about 12,000 years ago.

Spain, France, the U.S., and Mexico have all staked claims against the land at different times.

None. Texas used to be part of Mexico. There was a war. The Texans won and later became a part of the United States.

Barrack Urkel

None. Due to their incompetent army, Mexico lost Texas in a war.

It wasn't stolen from any country. The Texicans both anglo and hispanic got sick of the dictators and idiots running Mexico and decided to declare their freedom. A war was fought and the Texicans won. Later on the Texicans asked for and was granted the right to become a state of the growing United States.

Ya heard me

It wasn't stolen from anyone. It was won from Mexico but some of them are sore losers lmfao!

California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas were once a part of Mexico. But Mexico couldn't get enough mexicans to immigrate there (hard to believe now) and--and this is important--could not govern it. For California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to become a part of the U.S. was the best thing that could've happened for all concerned.

If those four states had remained a part of Mexico exactly *what* would Mexico have done with them? Used them to breed another one-hundred-million illiterate peasants? Who would've swamped what was left of the United States? To what end?

Military power is a bi-product of economic power. If those four states hadn't become a part of the U.S. then America probably wouldn't have been strong enough to defeat fascism & communism in the 20th century.
