text: could it be that mexicans want "their" land back now because we built it into a land worth a few trilion $ ? mexico cannot advance itself, but it is amazing how certain mexicans claim that they want to take back "their" land  (as they call it) now that the united states has built it up from the desert and relatively barren lands that existed when mexico claimed it was their land.  amazing how they want the land now that it is developed and worth trillions of dollars.  it would still be mostly desert wasteland if mexico owned what is now part of the u.s. southwest. well, if we're gonna agree with them on that, how about they give mexico back to the aztecs and other tribes that owned it before the spanish conquistadores? cortez demolished tenochtitlan in order to defeat the aztecs, laid waste to the whole area in the name of god and the king, claimed it right out from under the aztecs.
