What land did Mexico lose to US?
Mexico lost 51% of their former territory to the United States. It included present day Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and most of Nevada, Utah, and part of Colorado. It started with the US violating a buffer zone on the border. When the Mexicans defended themselves, the US Congress agreed that the US was being invaded so they sent troops down to wipe the Mexicans out. This started the War with Mexico in 1846 through 1849, at which time the USA "ceded" all of the above mentioned territory as a part of the US belief (for economic reasons) in Manifest Destiny. The US didn't make colonies per se, it just took everything from "sea to shining sea". Consequently, Spanish and Mexican landowners in California were run off their land or killed, even though some families had been there for 150 years, or more. To this day, if you talk to Mexicans about this, they will ALL remember their history, how the United States of America stole their land. The US did pay some corrupt politicians 2 Million dollars "for the land". But these facts are deep in the Mexican conscious and do color the official relations between Mexico and the USA.

Is a passport required to fly into Mexico from the us?
If you're a Mexican citizen you need a Mexican passport with the appropiate expensive (and often hard to get) US visa inside in order to enter the USA legally. Is that what fly in means?
If you mean do you need your Mexican passport for domestic flights within the USA I think I read somewhere that non-US citizens do (I think US citizens can use photo ID such a driving license or Passport Card instead).
So if a Mexican is in the USA illegally I think they'll just have to travel by bus or train, or drive. Since if you do need your passport for domestic flights to check in someone may notice the passport doesn't have the correct visa in.
Mexicans can visit Britain or Ireland without a visa for up to 6 months though, and Schengen (most other EU states) for 3 months. So come here ;)
Actually, for travel inside the United States, some form of "official" government ID is all that is required. A Mexican (or other country's) passport certainly suffices, but so would a US State's Driver's license, U.S. "Green Card", etc. Hell, I've even seen a U.S. corporation's photo ID tag used in conjunction with a credit card to "prove" identity. Internal to the U.S., the question is not one's Immigration Status (unless, of course, you are applying for a job or public benefits), but of IDENTITY. That is, organizations are concerned with having you prove who you are, NOT that you have proper immigration status.
