What history book did you read?  Texas won their independence from Mexico and then asked the United States to annex them.

I have a better idea, anyone who is a true native American can go into the streets and yell "go back home" to everyone else.  \n\nWhite man stole America from the natives and now you're upset with the Mexicans wanting a piece of the pie?\n\nWhy not just steal Mexico from the Mexicans?

Actually, it was in 1862.  Mexico owed a lot of money to Britain, France and Spain, so they agreed to invade to collect the debt.  Actually, France wanted to conquer and rule Mexico for its mineral wealth.  They invaded at Veracruz.\n\nThe Mexican forces won one of the early battles in this war on May 5, 1862, at Puebla, and that victory is celebrated to this day as Cinco de Mayo.

No, after we nuked them and conquered them we forced them to re-write their constitution.  They are not allowed to have an offensive army and America is the guarantor of their safety.

It is the land of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah that the Mexicans claim we stole from them. We beat their butts in the Mexican-American War and  paid $15million for the privilege. Now they want to cry 'foul' and say we 'stole' it, losers. Here are some websites" \nhttp://www.boundless.org/2002_2003/features/a0000660.html\nhttp://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=186\nhttp://www.barnesreview.org/The__Reconquista_-Mexico_s_Dre/the__reconquista_-mexico_s_dre.html\n\nThe following website is blocked by Y!A so copy/paste it and take out the spaces:\n\nhttp://www. azt lan.net/ la_gran_ marcha.htm\n\nYou are required to be a legal citizen of the USA or have legal documentation to go there since it is PART OF THE USA and Mexicans just can't STAND it because it's OURS not theirs. \nThey are so JEALOUS!! \n\nAZTLAN belongs to the USA!!\n\nAnd THEY can't have it !!!  LMFAO

I hope the answers given by the Americans on here , aren't representative of the views of all Americans. There's got to be SOME Americans who are good guys. \nAs previously mentioned by others, only more eloquently, America invaded and 'stole' this bay about 100 hundred years ago, as it was strategically sited for access to the whole of the Caribbean. (It has carried out this strategy many times since, all over the world). To make it look legal, the US sends Cuba a 'rental cheque' every year, which Cuba has never cashed.\nEffectively, the US are squatters in Cuba, they have no linternationally recognised legal right to be there.

As in any kind of civil dis-obedience, you should not do it if you are not prepared to be prosecuted for breaking the law.\n\nOf course if everybody who didn't like something about what the government was doing didn't pay taxes, there would be no taxes paid, and we would not have a country.  No police, not army, no money, etc.

No...only an idiot would! Sorry, idiots...\n\nI think an even better question, one that gets right to the heart of the matter, as it were, is this:\n\nDOES THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TRUST YOU?

I don't think Mexico has done anything wrong-- what would be the need?

Absolutely not.  The government in Mexico has all they can handle and they haven't done that well .

The US did in 1803 when we fought our first over seas war in Monazuma. We were trading with other countries in the Med. sea and we did not pay the "priates" monet to not attack our trade ships. They were called terrorist then. The US went to a short war with the terrorist and won. The Congress adopted a "no negotiation" standard then.

No, America should annex Mexico. This could solve a lot of problems.

Of course. The US has enemies like any other country.

Sure why not, mexicans are not terrorists, people who seek war on the other side of the world are.

No, in time of war and when national security is threatened, it is lawful to take such action. 9/11 changed alot of things.\n\nBTW-Should John F. Kennedy have been impeached for spying on Martin Luther King?

No, you cannot own property in Mexico unless you are a citizen.  Too bad the US didn't think of that 100 years ago, then the Saudis would not own our counrty.

It SOUNDS like a good idea,  but my concern would be corrupt officials who would cheat the people.  And that's not aimed at only Mexican officials, we certainly have our share of them here in the States. You can't hardly listen to the news without hearing about some corrupt official being busted. If we could work out a way to do it so the help really went to the people who needed it most, I'd say go for it! I would be willing to help, because strong neighbors are much better neighbors than those who are in need. It would, in the long run, benefit the entire American continents and countries.
