From Google News Search: "Rio Grande City, Texas" So is Texas basically part of northern Mexico at this point? Should we just rename it 'Texico' or 'Tejaxico'? Q. I took a trip down through Texas recently, starting in El Paso and visiting lots of Texas cities along the way - Presidio, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Laredo, Zapata, Rio Grande City, Mission, McAllen, Harlingen, then finishing up in Brownsville. Everything was pretty much in Spanish. And not just Spanish, but the type of regional Spanish they use in a lot of northern Mexico. I can speak Spanish, so it wasn't a big deal for me. But it was strange to see hundreds of miles of America which were basically part of Mexico - in fact, at Eagle Pass, I crossed the border into Piedras Negras, in Mexico's Coahuila State, and it was pretty much the same as Eagle Pass. I didn't notice a lot of difference between them. I guess the road signs are in… [cont.] Asked by Holographer - Thu Aug 6 01:27:05 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Q. WARS - Mexican American War 1846-1848 With the annexation of Texas in early 1845, war with Mexico became all but inevitable. President James K. Polk hoped to settle matters peacefully but was determined to have his way by war if necessary. In November 1845 he sent John Slidell to Mexico with an offer of $5,000,000 for the purchase of New Mexico and $25,000,000 for California. The offer was refused. On May 9, 1846, word reached Washington, D.C. that American troops had been attacked by Mexican forces on April 4. Polk asked Congress, and was granted, a declaration of war. Congress authorized the president to call for 50,000 volunteers and appropriated $10,000,000. Congress and the nation, however, were far from united on the idea of… [cont.] Asked by ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - Mon Dec 25 12:26:27 2006 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. true. i already know this along with other Americans. the Mexican people from Mexico think we Americans don't know this. the Mexican govt teaches the Mexican people lies in their schools. we payed for all the land we got from them and we are still paying.
