It an idea only liberals could seriously consider. Portions of America would be transferred to Mexican sovereignty. That would be one way to get rid of illegal aliens, but can people be serious about this?
This stems from the Mexican-American War, not one of the brighter spots on our history. At least not according to early presidents such as John Quincy Adams and U.S. Grant in addition to other notable American leaders including General Robert E. Lee. It’s been referred to as America’s first war of territorial conquest, one that resulted in a sizeable part of what was Mexican territory being annexed by the U.S. Government.
The results of this war still manifest themselves today in movements in the American Southwest among those of Mexican descent to secede from the U.S. and return to Mexico. Now we see these movements and others considering filing claims in international courts demanding that their request be granted to return what they consider as stolen territory back to Mexico.

Let them have California.
I guess someone hasn’t read a history book not only did the United States defeat Mexico they also paid for the territory that they gained
we settled that question years ago…Mexico lost…
Why the$#%&!@*would we give land to mexico??? Anyone else notice how great of a job they do? Such a great job that they in fact would rather spread their plague to the US and show us all that they can’t manage it here either. It’s about time we just shut the border all together.
Hahahaha… so we already have legislature issues with the land we have and the people we got. So the answer is to expand territory?
No sir. That’s exactly the opposite of what we want to do.
Oh hell! You referenced Robert E.
….. as well as all getting drunk before the war ended, so they the mexican got ambushed and lost the battle!
Arrest his$#%&!@*
wrong!!!!
The New York Times must be going out of business or plan to go under, reporting garbage like this will promote it going down even sooner.
