My pontificating on subjects about which you know nothing, you are an obvious natural.
To your horror, Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1837 and entered the USA in 1845.
In 1846 Polk sent US troops to defend the US borders against Mexican raids.
If you would have read books you would have known this.
Instead, sadly, you sought out lies that confirmed your hatred of the nations.
you do not know much about Texas history .... check a history book to find out why citizens of the U.S. were in Mexico to start ..... U.S. citizens declared Texas free ..... they stole the property from Mexico ..... Mexico never intended to relinquish the territory ..... Did Mexico declare Texas an independent territory and allow it to be ceded to the "guests" from the United States ...... NO .... in 1846 the war was fought to establish permanent borders and because Mexico wanted Texas back .... there are many book on the subject .....try History of Texas 1685-1892 by John H. Brown ....
