"East of Naco, Tx. a monument and a barbed-wire fence mark the U.S.-Mexico border. Formerly Mexican territory, the United States purchased southern reaches of Arizona and New Mexico from Mexico in 1853. Five years before that, at the end of the Mexican-American war, Mexico had ceded to the United States much of the territory that now makes up the southwestern U.S." National Geographic

Another piece of history Mexicans seemed to have missed out on in their claims of America having "stolen" their land. All the territories and now American states once having belonged to Mexico were either fought for and gained independence from Mexico as in the case of Texas or were purchased from Mexico.

None, absolutely ZERO of the Mexican claims of theft of these areas of land hold any basis in truth by those who so propogandistly make such claims and demand repatriation to Mexico of said areas.

"La Reconquista" is a grand scheme of misinformation by Mexican nationals and members of both legal and illegal immigrant groups within the US borders bent on gaining sympathy for their constituants continued illegal immigration into the US, but well and truly their claims are full of propoganda and totally devoid of truth in the matter.
