History time.

We had the Spanish-American War, remember that? We occupied Mexico City and took control of it for a long time.

The thing is, the Mexican people are horrible. No one wants them. We PAID the Mexicans to end the war quicker, and took the land they didn't want and couldn't use.

The area between Mexico City and Texas is virtually uninhabitable. Imagine Tattoine. That's what that land looks like. No one really wants it.

Not really, tons of farmland down there. Tons of ranching. Tons of logging. Tons of beautiful scenery to turn into parks or upscale towns. A lot of decent American cities are built on far worse land. The only reason northern Mexico looks shitty is because Mexicans runs it like shit.

You're talking about the land in Texas or the land between Texas and Mexico City?

East Texas is amazing and wonderful.

West Texas is the least populated part of the US. A virtually uninhabitable desert with the only natural resource being oil.

Northern Mexico is largely like West Texas. It's a wasteland.

Most of the Western US is the same, except for occasional pockets. Once you cross the Rockies, it gets even worse. The fact that we have cities and farmland there is because of modern inventions like irrigation and such. Without white man to do that sort of thing, it would be a wasteland.

Exactly, there's a ton of potentially useful land in Mexico if only White people were down there to use it. Like I said America has industry in much worse places. Remember the further south you go from the border the more rainfall there is. Plus there's countless mountain ranges down there AKA giant water reservoirs.
