First, yes most became American citizens. Around 1000 chose not to and returned to Mexico. No, I don't want to hand it back to them. But, just because there were only 80,000 people there did not give the US the right to simply seize the land...along with the resources. I am just pointing out the facts of history, and how we have historically treated Mexico and those of Mexican heritage in general. The same way they were treated with the Mexican Repatriation Act, where the US deported 1.2 million American citizens simply because they were of Mexican descent in the 1930's, many of whom could not even speak Spanish. This is a part of the cultural bias the US in general, including the public, has had historically towards Hispanics.
