Make America Mexico again!

[Nightshade]

Just curious. How many of you would be OK with returning Mexican land taken from Mexico during the Mexican-American war of 1846?

I wouldn't have any problems since I'm Mexican American. I could fit in either way.

[Spidey]

No, in fact I think we should annex the rest of Mexico.

You know the history of those areas, right? It's more complicated than "the US took land from Mexico." There was a lot of local autonomy and nuanced politics. Would I be OK giving the land to Mexico? That question seems irrelevant to any current events. Can you give a good argument for or against in today's frame of reference?

I'll let the immigrant children speak for me: (warning, NSFW language.)

Can you be serious? I assume you are just looking for attention, but what possible, realistic scenario would involve the US and Mexico reverting national borders to some time in the 19th Century?

All the Mexicans have to do is hire the Russians to take CA back for them

[Tunnelcat]

I don't think that would work. If the Russians went to all that work for the Mexicans, why wouldn't they just annex CA for themselves and put the Mexicans to work as cheap labor? It's going to fall off into the ocean someday and move towards Russia, so it will eventually be closer to them than us.

I would consider making Mexico our next U.S. state. (i.e. taking over)

Wait for Russian submarines in the US shores in the best case.

If it means getting genuine mexican food more north than it is now, and some fun culture... sure why not.

oh, and this

[Burlyman]

Might as well give the united snakes mainland back to the natives
