Through the spoils of war, at the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).
No, it wasn't legal or fair: it was pushed by Manifest Destiny believers and pro-slavery interests. It also resulted in the American Civil War (1861-1865).

Yes, and fair justice is deportation A nation that does not uphold it's own laws is a failed or failing nation.What seems fair to an illegal immigrant is not likely to be fair to citizens or other legal immigrants of the imposed upon nation.All individual nations are still sovereign and solely responsible for their own laws.
Should white people leave the US because it belonged to Mexico first?
Not really. The fact is, even if those lands used to belong to Mexico, they were populated by just a very small amount of people (approximately 50,000). After 1848 they were so extensively developed, that if Texas and California were independent countries, they would be the 11th and 15th largest economies in the world (US$1.89 trillion and $1.24 trillion, respectively). Now, if Mexico wanted those states back, a fair deal would be to pay them in full, as nominally it would have the rights over the land, but not the infrastructure that has been put in place for the last 166 years. The best, most realistic compromise has been to tolerate illegal immigration, while investing in Mexico to get it enough developed so that any dreams of reunification wear out. In fact, most people in Mexico don't even consider the lost territories will ever rejoin. Most likely, there will be a day when both Mexico and the U.S. reach a point when both demographics and economy converge so that they can have a relationship such as that between the U.S. and Canada.
