Methamphetamines Mexico is the number one foreign supplier to our country.

Donald Trump’s main point on illegal immigration is, he wants to build the wall on the border of the Texas and Mexico.

He was willing to do whatever it took to expand American power across the continent all the way to the Pacific Ocean. It all started in 1836 when Texas gained its independence from Mexico. At first, the US didn’t want Texas to join the union, mostly because the northern states didn’t want to add another slave…

knows, war is not always easy. The Americans went to war with Mexico to fight over Texas in 1846. At the time, James K. Polk was in office as president.

Corruption can be seen as a part of the long equation which equals conflict throughout Mexico.

through a description of his appearance where he was a “vicious faced man of 35” who was “crude of speech” and “in every way unattractive and repulsive” (“Villa, Bandit and Brute” 1). In addition, Villa is compared to General Huerta, who became president after murdering Madero. Huerta is “a saint compared to the outlaw of the mountains of Chihuahua” as Huerta is “mild and innocent” while Villa is crazy criminal and bandit (“Villa, Bandit and Brute” 1). The reason the New York Times portrayed…
