The Mexicans could have not opened up Texas or New Mexico for American settlement because these two acts greatly increased the American population that it soon outnumbered the actual Mexicans. This could have prevented the entire disputes over the annexation of Texas which was a primary reason Polk went into the war-- to get Texas as a state of the U.S.
