Texas was not part of Mexico. Mexico claimed the land so did Texas. Post revolution Mexico had no control over its northern territories. America and Mexico started a fight in Texas and America ended the fight in Mexico city. The borders were agreed upon. Mexico was paid reparations. All non government affiliated land owners were allowed to keep their land and were made US citizens. Learn some history.

The point I was trying to make is that Mexicans were there before any white people, originally the land was theirs until it was stolen from them, much like the land this country is on. The Europeans are documented land thieves plain and simple

A Mexican isnt a thing. Spain is why the country mexico had the borders it did. The borders had nothing do to with native tribes or natural borders. The borders didnt even have anything do with the Colonial European newly independent Mexican governments ability to project power 1200 miles north of its capital. . The area that is now American soil was largely dominated by non Spanish speaking native Americans, outlaws, and European pioneers. The area you just say is Mexico is not. Its Comanche, Apache, Pueblo, Navajo, Chumesh and others. The natives failed to hold their land against the expansionists mindset that dominated every people on earths mind at times. Its history now. Thats Americas, Natives have a right to live in those areas, and do to this day, in greater numbers than ever. Mexico isnt shit. Its a colonial remnant that failed to hold on to its bloated borders. The only reason mexico exists is because of spain, and a strong Euro dominated culture and ethnic group in Mexico city. If it werent for europeans mexico would probably be 20 different shit hole countries sacrificing each other thinking itll bring rain.
