Considering Mexico was forcibly stripped of half its territory, it is no wonder the U.S.-Mexico relations were strained for almost over a century.

Catholic. Spain brought priests and missionaries to every land they colonized, and Mexico was no exception, so their Mexican American descendants are primarily Catholic today.
Very few of the former Mexican Citizens chose to move south. Most opted to remain where they were for one year and automatically become US Citizens. The impact on the Mexican American War population is that they are huge today in California, Arizona New Mexico. Nevada, Utah and Colarado. In these areas the population grew very large after the Mexican American War.

If the U.S. had lost the Mexican-American War, Mexico would likely have retained significant territories, including present-day California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. This outcome could have led to a stronger Mexican cultural and political influence in the West, potentially altering immigration patterns and economic development in both countries. The U.S. might have focused more on expansion in other regions, while Mexico could have benefitted from a more stable territorial integrity, possibly leading to different socio-economic dynamics in North America today. Ultimately, the geopolitical landscape of the continent would be markedly different, influencing trade, demographics, and cultural exchanges.

None. The "Mexican food" is in reality "Tex-Mex food"; the chili-con-carne, wheat flour tortillas and Tabasco sauce are almost unknown in Mexico.
Anyone that arrives today intending to take up an American countries citizenship. Peruvian, Mexican, Canadian etc.
American's face many of social issues with today's teenagers. The main things that America faces are social violence and cultures.
Because Mexico and South America are part of Latin America, meaning those countries are former colonies of Spain, France and Portugal. As for the southwest, it once belonged to Mexico, hence, there are many Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in such region who have a 'Latin' culture and traditions merged with the American way of life.
