    Didn’t his base want to get rid of all the Mexicans? 'Cause adding Mexico as a state will mean taking in, like, all the Mexicans…

      You think they’d get to stay in Mexico? Nah, they’d get the Native American treatment. They’d be forcibly marched through hostile lands “peacefully relocated”, and forced to live in inhospitable and unworkable areas “given a reservation of land to live on.”

      Then when America wanted to expand again, America would repeatedly and unapologetically encroach on the reservations “renegotiate treaties” to claim more land. All the while, the government would be attempting to eliminate their culture by kidnapping their kids for white Americans to raise “generously re-homing needy children”
