Some of it, but not all. Present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas used to belong to Mexico, until the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
Mexico "owned" Texas for about 15 years (1821-1836) and California for about 27 years (1821-1848). Before 1821 there was no Mexico, it was part of the Spanish colony of New Spain.
