Look at this PBS presentation and click on timeline map.

Then consider how the border evolved and that today many "Mexican illegals" are here in areas that were once part of Mexico. Not saying we should give up the land that is now part of the US or grant citizenship to these illegals, but what I am saying is Obama has no right to tell Israel to give up land they won. We have a similar history as Israel in regards to territory.
Who elected or annointed Obama, Leader of the World? |
Very interesting history I've never really studied. There are certainly plenty in Mexico that claim the theft of Mexican land. I don't remember this war being covered much in my schooling.
