I don't think they did. But for $10 Million, Mexico did sell the Gadsen Purchase, which is the southern part of New Mexico and Arizona, to the US. This land was a more suitable route for a Trans-Continental Railroad than any more northern location.

∙ 7y agoThe Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo ended the Mexican War in 1848. The US paid Mexico $15 million in partial compensation for the Mexican Cession, and up to $3.25 million to pay claims by Americans against Mexico.
The $15 million amount was also what Mexico was to receive under the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, but the US Senate approved only $10 million.

How much foreign aid does the US give Mexico?
this question is super hard to answer because the U.S. tries very hard to disguise how it gives aid and to whom.

Why not be just plain straight forward and list each item to get a total. what i can root out we gave Mexico in 2007 over 60 million dollars. The above information is not correct. The US is in fact 100% transparent to the entire world on every cent it gives to another nation. Here is a link to the page that has a listing of US financial aid to Mexico.
