Why did the US want Texas?
The US took Mexico's land after the Mexican-American war. This was triggered by the fact that Wilmot's proposal did not pass the Congress.
How did the maifest destiny lead to the Mexican war?
Manifest destiny called for a continental United States. This of course, put the US at odds against Mexico, which already possessed the present-day US states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. After the Texas Revolution (1836-1838) in which Texas split up from Mexico, American presidents John Tyler (term 1841-1845) and James K. Polk (term 1845-1849) wished to add the Pacific coast and California to the US, and sought to acquire it by any means necessary. The annexation of Texas as a state in 1846 led almost immediately to border conflicts that escalated into war.
What turned a disagreement into a war or armed conflict for the Mexican Border War?
The actual location of the US-Mexico border qualifies as such. At the time, the Mexican government believed the US border to be at the Nueces River, while the Americans thought it was the Rio Grande River. This ill-defined border resulted in skirmishes between American and Mexican troops, and were later used as a pretext by President James K. Polk to declare war on Mexico. You should note, the actual objective of such war was the forced acquisition of California.

The us could have avoided a war with Mexico?
No. Actually, American presidents John Tyler (term 1841-1845) and James K. Polk (term 1845-1849) wished to extend the US territories to the Pacific coast and consolidate what they saw as the "Manifest Destiny" of the country. This meant acquiring California and its riches at all costs; the annexation of Texas was a good pretext to start a war with Mexico.

Felipe Andres Coronel, a 34 year old rapper who (sometimes, not really) focuses on politics. Some call him an urban activist, but I don't.

TYLER THE CREATOR!
