  1. Why angry? It is just the nature of things. Mexico could not hold onto it's claims, so the Americans moved in.

  2.  @adrianquintanilla850  The US was populated by tons of Irish, yet I don't see the US waving an Irish flag. Mexico is a failed state, only made to look good by Guatemala.

  3.  @adrianquintanilla850  Irish were despised back in the day, so I don't know what you're talking about. I'm sure eventually it will become popular to have Mexican heritage in a few decades. By then perhaps the Chinese will be despised. Mexico is country that shambles forward. It has plenty of potential, but the government is terribly corrupt. And yes, the drug crisis in America contributes to that.

  4. Pretty much. Mexico didn't really control the land north of the Rio Grande. It was just wilderness dominated by the Comanche.

  6. Mexico LOST! They renounced their claim. Stop being so butthurt.

  7.  @trabajosdehvacenusa7771  It was signed in an era where land was conquered by force, and treaties ceding said land was seen as alright. Does that mean that the treaty Mexico signed is invalid today? Nope. Otherwise, Poland would have to renounce it's western territories, and give them back to Germany. Mexico did not control the land it lost. It was barren and largely ungovernable, as it was controlled by the Comanche and Apache, who did not recognize Mexican authority. Mexico had said claim for barely 20 years, inheriting it from Spain, who did not really govern it. Mexico itself is lucky that the US did not just annex the entire country, as many in the US desired to. Mexico has more pressing concerns than trying to "retake" the land it lost so long ago. The people who live in the Cession are most solidly American, and even if they are Hispanic, I'm sure they would not desire to be under Mexican rule, as if they did, they would not have left Mexico in the first place.

  8.  @trabajosdehvacenusa7771  Mexico has promise, once it can control its corruption and narco groups. It is the most economically powerful country of Latin America, rivaling Brazil.
