No, but it was a very unpopular sale from the point of view of Mexicans which ultimately led to the destitution of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna in Mexico as president.
The "purchase" that really was tantamount to theft was the Mexican Cession, which included the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas and were acquired by the means of war by the United States, during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
