Why did Mexico take over Texas?

Answer 1

It is a very difficult question to answer but I would dare to say that to the US Government, money and 'big business' have top priority.

When illegal immigrants arrive to US' soil, they apply for jobs most other people think as 'degrading to their dignity as human beings'. Also as they are illegal, they are paid with much lower wages than any American citizen. This of course, proves to be a good deal to many employers, for they can find a sizable pool of cheap workers and if the case might be, they can bully their employees to 'work more for less, because Juanito will work the same as you for half the pay'.

On the other hand, the US southwest used to belong to Mexico, so many people consider it -- specially right-wing conservatives -- as part of the reconquista. However, even if someday people of Mexican origin become a majority, it is very doubtful they all agree to split-up and join Mexico again.

Answer 2

Long story short, they are looking for the "American dream". As many of them are illegally working in the United States, many unscrupulous employers give them jobs for smaller wages than otherwise Americans would work for; also most of them work in fields and areas that many Americans never wanted to begin with, such as agriculture and ranching, construction and cleaning services.
