those states were stolen from Mexico after we kicked their ass in the War.
Wrong as usual, we took them by force in a time when Countries routinely kept property seized during a war. BUT we then PAID Mexico for the territory.
By the way? Mexico STARTED the war. And Europeans believed Mexico would quickly crush the United States as its Army was well trained as a European military.
US troops in contested territory setting up shop. Uh huh...THEY started it.
