Riddle me this /pol. Why do beaners think ALL the land west of San Antonio, Texas was stolen from Mexico?
If history serves me right, it was Mexico that started the war, US ass raped their army, and as a result, they conceded that land to us. Am I wrong or...?

You have better sources on Mexico-USA history than us. Do some research but don't cry, everything will be ok :)

Nope, America invaded Mexican territory and provoked them and then once they attacked the soldiers declared war and took all the territory.

And who did Mexico steal that land from?
They love talking big game, mexicans can never admit to loss.
Let em dream
>On April 25, 1846, Mexican cavalry attacked a group of U.S. soldiers in the disputed zone under the command of General Zachary Taylor, killing about a dozen. They then laid siege to an American fort along the Rio Grande. Taylor called in reinforcements, and–with the help of superior rifles and artillery–was able to defeat the Mexicans at the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma.
Following those battles, Polk told the U.S. Congress that the “cup of forbearance has been exhausted, even before Mexico passed the boundary of the United States, invaded our territory, and shed American blood upon American soil.” Two days later, on May 13, Congress declared war, despite opposition from some northern lawmakers. No official declaration of war ever came from Mexico.
Is there something Im missing here? >>78259562
Still sounds like they started a war. Thats like getting mad at the US for declaring war on Japan even though Japan struck first
We honestly should have bought a lot more land from them. I believe Polk originally wanted to.
I say we take Baja and split California into two states. We will of course do something for Mexico for the land. It would be fair.
We should make a group autistic as La Raza that wants to take back the Midwest for France.
Im half mexican and I hate my ethnicity

So like any deliberate start to a war like this, nothing new and has always been used in history. Russia does it to this day.

Not an argument

You hate half mexicans?

There's no use in hating shit you can't control. I used to be drunk on White guilt but eventually came to the conclusion that I'm happier when I don't hate myself. The easiest self-hate to drop is the kind you can't control, like your circumstances of birth and skin color. Come to terms with your own self, and move ahead from there.

There's a lot of things we can't correct in this world bro, the best we can do is move on and try to be better people for it. Basically what I'm trying to say is:
Build the wall...
