Actually; the country that really needs to worry about dismemberment let alone outright subjugation is Mexico-------------remember Manifest Destiny?

It may be better known as the North American Union.

For that matter: most of the Californios stayed on despite being given the option of heading to the remainder of post 1848 Mexico.

Besides: Cortez and his followers conquered what is today's Mexico.

Too; where is the rage about Mexico losing Guatemala after 1821?

Final point: Mexico was not truly independent till 1867 when the French left.

Bottom line: your rationales are pretty weak.

I suppose then, that it's also better than how the Spanish and the Mexicans subjugated and murdered (for their own good of course, poor godless heathens) the Native American Indians of California?

But hey, civilizations have been rising and falling since the beginning of time. Why should we be the least bit annoyed simply because it's happening to our own?

I just have to wonder at the circular sort logic used to arrive at some conclusions....
