**A Texas Reader Gives A Reconquista A History Lesson**

Re: Saturday Forum: A Reconquista Reader Says He’s: “Not Going No Where (Sic)”

I am so sick of the angry Mexicans irritated that we, as they put it, "stole Mexico" that I have to explain to them what really happened.

Reconquistas who want to learn the truth about the Mexican-American War can study every significant legal, historical or diplomatic treaty, proclamation and charter at Yale University’s Avalon Project.

A review of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo reveals that the United States paid Mexico $15 million over a five-year period with interest.

We assumed and eliminated Mexico’s European debt with France, England, Germany and Portugal.

And in during the century and a half plus since the U.S. and Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, we have done—and continue to do--- some very nice things for Mexicans who decided to stay North.

The U.S. stole Mexico? I don’t think so.
