"Become" is not the operative verb here.

A bit of oh so boring history concerning the first map: The powers that were in Mexico at the beginning of the 1800s used that map or one very similar to send patrols to intercept, then capture or kill the Lewis and Clarke Voyage of Discovery. Fortunately, the two units never met.

Concerning the second map, I'm shocked . . . shocked I tell you. Hee hee.

Second picture. We won the war against Mexico during the Mexican-American war. Get over it.

The picture I prefer is the 2nd one.

This ad is historic, just past but not modern map, however some media can make joke to people and become angry against company.

I doubt that southwest states and Texas would return to Mexico because of too much way to do and USA has sent over billions to this states, too late for Mexico.

*nods* Agree, it's too late for Mexico to receive those states back.

But think about it - we went in and took more than half of Mexico from the Mexicans now more than a century later we are all in a tizzy that Mexican migrants are crossing the border.

Im not condoning illegal immigration, but we gotta step back as U.S. citizens and realize that our country did take a piece of Mexico when we occupied Mexico City and forced them to give up their land.

Here is a more correct map of 1840 United States.
Establishing Borders: Map 1 A

Not all of that territory shown in the Absolut ad belonged to Mexico. There was a lot of disputed territory and there was also unrecognized territory that no one claimed, as well as territory that the US and Britain both claimed.

The Republic of Texas did not want to be a part of either nation, but wanted to be it's own sovereign nation. But in the end Mexico lost to the US and the Republic of Texas also lost to the US so Texas was integrated (not sure if thats the right word Im looking for) into the United States and it became the State of Texas, where as a state it could make its own laws for that specific state but it also had to abide by the Federal laws that were enforced for the whole nation. Texas didnt put up much of a fit though because they realized they had more 'freedom' being with the United States and not to mention the added protection of the US Army should Mexico decide to raid.

Actually Texas wanted to be part of the United States due to defense and financial difficulties that they endured getting independence from Mexico.

I prefer the second picture, Reba. And, while we're at it, I favor burning all the Muslim mosques and torturing their people in the United States, since they don't want to honor us in their countries. In fact, they force us to do things their way. I guess I said all that to say (and I know what you'll say, Reba), we might as well burn the flag and the Constitution. The Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion was good while it lasted.

Not all muslim are bad, every muslim people are doing different way, even not all terrorist are muslim either.

Speaking of burning all muslim mosques are cruel and disrespect to muslim, that's not good idea to say like that, even not all muslim countries are bad either.

You know that every religion are different around of world.

*nods agree* Not all muslim are bad, my parents have lot of muslim friends in New Mexico and my parents also work with them for the coral reefs stones, also I almost got a job with the muslim to take care of a girl who can't take care of herself, but fail due to her difficult communicate with me.

I don't see where Muslim's are respecting anyone, especially the country of Israel, which is actually the issue. When they admit they are a people who don't have a right to claim any part of Israel as their own and move out and get out of the way, I will listen to what they have to say, which, actually, they have nothing to say. Our troops are overseas fighting for their greed, not ours or our rights.

Now, what's this you say about "respect?" Respect Israel and its full territory first, then we'll talk. That is for the Muslims, not for you, Pacman.

Well....remember that when the UN formed the state of Israel, they pretty much did it without the Arab's input.....

XBGMER

Yeah, I rememberd that PBS tv told me that Mexico sold texas for $2 billiions about (you correct me if am wrong?). Now why they want one of our states back to mexico? this not part for mexico, period. If mexico and people wanted one of our states, Now our turn, should have saying " WE WANT $2.BILLIONS BACK before give it back to mexico "!

Anyway,

They already broke their $$$ 2.B? what happen to mexico with the about $2 billions? how come their 2billions gone quickly for 208 years to now?

Too late? I doubt it. Ever heard of Mexican-American War? They fought for 2 years and Americans won the war and lands. It was chance for the Mexicans to have the land but guess what, they have lost to the Americans by armed conflicts. And the lands (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Utah) are "turned" over to the US.

And why would they need the A Rabs input? Israel was a country before any of them were even born or even thought of? Israel is God's country and His chosen People. None of the A Rab world has the right to stake any part of Israel, including Gaza Strip and West Bank as theirs. Including Jerusalem! It never belonged to them. This declaration was made in the Old Testament by God Himself. And Muslims think otherwise . . .
