You obviously didn't pay attention to your history classes as a child. Only the most uneducated, brainwashed, PC liberal could devise a statement of such stupidity. Mexico engaged in war with Texas, Mexico lost, Texas became a free nation, Texas later joined the USA. No one "stole" the land from Mexico. If that were the case, did Mexico steal the land from Spain, and did the Spaniards not take it from the Aztecs, who in turn stole it from other tribes? C'mon man!
I really think you and the entire state of Texas are in denial.
Texas was a Mexican state (part of its empire) and at some point in the 1820s-30s they opened the land for settlement by gringoes.
A war was faught over false pretenses, texas was independent, it joined the Union as a slave state, it left the Union to form the confederacy. The Union let it back in in 1865, and it's all been down hill since then.
I don’t have anything against the Mexican people who I know a large number are victims themselves. It’s the MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, it’s cronies and it’s agents here that I have issues with, now and then.
The southwest was stolen from Mexico to begin with, its called karma. Also, the real illegal immigrants are the ones who came from Europe.
Interesting...Central America was stolen from the natives by Mexico. So in the vein of thought you are using, Mexico needs to give it back, and the Mexicans are the real illegal immigrants from Europe also. Fail.

Texas and Southwestern history in a nutshell.
Wow, talk about denial. 'Gringos' aye? The counter term to this gets blocked by the filters. Interesting how this term slips through At any rate, you failed to counter the post you quoted with any degree of intelligence.
My history lesson told me we chopped out Santa annas head after we finally caught him.......Too bad we cant do this today to the mexican trouble makers we catch here,,,,,funny

Did Houston have Santa Ana executed? I thought he went home in disgrace and his own people killed him, paving the way for ...how many decades of instability in Mexico? That continues to this day it seems.
What amazes me is how many bleeding hearts on here are talking about this 'karma' BS, and how we 'stole' the land from Mexico etc. Whatever, perhaps we did do a bit of counquering back in the day, so bloody what? If we have to fight to keep what we have now, so be it. lets quit with all the whining and bellyaching, and get to it.

Actually Santa Ana returned to Mexico to find himself out of power. He then served as president sporadically 6 more times--fought as a general against both the French and the US during the Mexican-Ameican War(where he lost his wooden leg after it was captured by US troops), lived in exile in Jamaica, Colombia, Cuba, and Staten Island, NY before dying as an old man in Mexico City in 1876--almost 40 years after the Alamo.
Not to bust your dreams but about half of the defenders of the Alamo were hispanic. Some even got pensions from the Republic of Texas, ending the myth that it was wiped out.
Someone must have just watched the John Wayne version on TV
If you harbor so much hatred towards American "Gringos" and also believe that we're a nation built on land theft (see how Mexico treated the Aztecs by the way), then why not leave? Perhaps your lovely Mexico can provide for you the comfortable life you enjoy here in the terrible USA, without having to be surrounded by people you despise.
