The United States military has also been impotent in stopping border crossings, including by regular military officers of the Mexican army where United States military members have been detained and disarmed. Why?
Treaty of Adams Onis. 1819, ratified by United States 1822.
Article 3: The two high contracting parties agree to cede and renounce all their rights, claims, and pretensions to the territories described by the said line, that is to say: The United States hereby cede to His Catholic Majesty, and renounce forever, all their rights, claims, and pretensions, to the territories lying west and south of the above-described line; and, in like manner, His Catholic Majesty cedes to the said United States all his rights, claims, and pretensions to any territories east and north of the said line, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, renounces all claim to the said territories forever.
Boundary: The boundary-line between the two countries, west of the Mississippi, shall begin on the Gulph of Mexico, at the mouth of the river Sabine, in the sea, continuing north, along the western bank of that river, to the 32d degree of latitude; thence, by a line due north, to the degree of latitude where it strikes the Rio Roxo of Nachitoches, or Red River; then following the course of the Rio Roxo westward, to the degree of longitude 100 west from London and 23 from Washington; then, crossing the said Red River, and running thence, by a line due north, to the river Arkansas; thence, following the course of the southern bank of the Arkansas, to its source, in latitude 42 north; and thence, by that parallel of latitude, to the South Sea. The whole being as laid down in Melish's map of the United States, published at Philadelphia, improved to the first of January, 1818. But if the source of the Arkansas River shall be found to fall north or south of latitude 42, then the line shall run from the said source due south or north, as the case may be, till it meets the said parallel of latitude 42, and thence, along the said parallel, to the South Sea: All the islands in the Sabine, and the said Red and Arkansas Rivers, throughout the course thus described. to belong to the United States; but the use of the waters, and the navigation of the Sabine to the sea, and of the said rivers Roxo and Arkansas, throughout the extent of the said boundary, on their respective banks, shall be common to the respective inhabitants of both nations.
(Spain is North and East of the line)
Forever is forever. So the United States of America may not legally have sovereignty nor jurisdiction from Texas to California to Hawaii and Guam and Samoa. So now what do We do as Mexico is repossessing the territory militarily (See Article 36, section 2 of the Mexican constitution, all Mexican citizens are required to enroll in the national guard)?
My suggestion is to cede the territory and citizenry to Our Allies in NATO and NAFTA partner Canada, upon the agreement that We shall not be required the swearing of an oath of personal loyalty to a specific British monarch, and the creation of an Acadian Dollar Currency for both the United States and Canada.
There are many reasons why to not Mexico, the Organization of Ibero-American States is one, and the Treaty of Tordesillas is another, and so is the national socialist constitution of Mexico itself, and their perpetual state religion is also a reason; when these things combined has caused Mexico terrible violence and ethnic tensions and many thousands of people killed per year.
