Mexicans who live there can go to school in their own language. They can vote. They can protest laws they don't like without fear. And they can talk to the media without getting 15 years in prison. Using a historical event to justify a current situation may make you feel better, but as the old saying goes "Two wrongs don't make a right". You know what’s interesting about Texas, though?

Just like any other nation's conquest and expansion, China's conquest of Tibet is one for territory and resourse. The same question can be asked about Texas. Why should Texas be part of USA? Because its very land and resource is just what the USA or the white folks needed, right? Mexicans didn't just hand Texas to Americans. Talk to local Mexicans next time when you visit south Texas and see how they feel about their land being overrun by white people. That teacher’s response acutally makes every bit of sense.
