IT'S there in black and white. Article XVI of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo states: "Each of the contracting parties (the United States and Mexico) reserves to itself the entire right to fortify whatever point within its territory it may judge proper so to fortify for its security."
The war between the United States and Mexico, which ended in 1848, culminated in Mexico losing more than 1 million square miles of land in what amounted to a forceful land grab by the United States.
The treaty was meant to protect each nation from future encroachments. This also means, of course, that the recent action by agents from the U.S. Justice Department, crossing the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo's boundaries to conduct an investigation of alleged drug money laundering in the Aztec Kingdom, is highly illegal. Of course, legalities, or moralities, don't enter the picture when it comes to the way the United States has traditionally dealt with Mexico -- treaty or no treaty.
Justice Department operatives were supposedly investigating the laundering of drug money by Mexican bankers. Based on their findings, the agents then lured at least 24 bankers to this country, where they were subsequently arrested. The greedy bankers were enticed to Las Vegas with promises of more lucre. Instead, they faced handcuffs and humiliation.
The issue, as I see it, is not whether those 24 bankers are guilty or innocent of laundering money, a serious enough accusation. The issue is that Mexico is still being invaded by the United States without regard to Article XVI of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The way I read that article is that neither Mexico nor the United States will infringe on each other's territory. But this nation's government once again has ignored the fact that Mexico is a sovereign nation.
That U.S. forces dared to cross into Mexico to conduct an investigation is an indignity beyond words. I'm truly surprised at the lack of an outcry from thinking Chicano leaders. Countless complaints have been aired about Taco Bell's Dinkie the Chihuahua, but there has been virtual silence about this very real atrocity.
What it says is that some Chicanos think the United States did nothing wrong by invading Mexico, but Taco Bell committed a mortal sin by displaying a Spanish-speaking Chihuahua in its stupid commercials. My goodness, a Chihuahua that speaks Spanish? What'll they think of next?
The fact that the United States still treats Mexico like a conquered nation means that Mexico still lives and dies under the adage: Pobre Mexico, tan lejos de Dios, y tan cerca de los Estados Unidos. (Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States). The U.S. Justice Department is justifying the fact that it didn't inform the Mexican government about the planned invasion because it feared for the safety of its operatives. The precedent has been set. What's to stop the United States from conducting future incursions -- as long as they're secret and nobody finds out? The so-called war between the United States and Mexico was concocted under the falsehood of Manifest Destiny, which held that the United States was under orders from God to save Mexico from itself.
Those "orders" still stand. This sting by U.S. forces proves my point. Do you think for one minute that Mexican authorities could conduct such an investigation in the United States?
Can you imagine the outrage? The United States is, after all, a sovereign nation.
More sovereign than Mexico? Obviously.
Well, back to the drawing board. Maybe Dinkie the Chihuahua can do another commercial Yo quiero un treaty nuevo. (I want a new treaty).
Why the media never say nothing about those articles? Article 11.

EkBalam said:United States in Possession of Mexican Territory—Circumstances Concerning War With Mexico—The Treaty Protocol—Boundaries—Area—Cost of Cession—Delivery of the Cession.
On the first of January, 1848, the United States was in possession of the City of Mexico, the city of Chihuahua, and of the eastern seaports of Mexico, as well as of the territory now forming the States of New Mexico, Arizona and California, together with Lower California. California was the pawn which several European countries claimed and were trying to secure, and England, in particular, had she secured California, in all probability would have held all the coast territory west of the Rocky Mountains, including what is now the States of Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada. She would probably have allowed Mexico or the United States to hold the Apache infested country of New Mexico and Arizona.
In order that my readers may be informed of the circumstances concerning the war with Mexico, and the subsequent acquisition by the United States of that part of the territory of Mexico in Arizona north of the Gila River, I quote here from Donaldson's Public Domain as follows:
The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, between the United States and the Republic of Mexico, February 2nd, 1848, added to the national and
public domain the territory lying between the Rio Grande River north along the one hundred and sixth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich to the forty-second parallel north latitude, and along that parallel to the Pacific Ocean. Prior to the time that Commodore Sloat took possession of California, she had been the object of jealous attention on the part of several foreign nations. The Russians established themselves at Bodega, on the coast of California, in the year 1812, by permission of Spain, for the purpose of fishing and obtaining furs. Then, after this, they brought cattle, raised herds, and produced wheat. Forty miles from Bodega, beyond the San Sebastian river. they built Fort Slawianski, called by the Mexicans 'Fort of Ross.' They flew the Russian flag, and the military governor appointed by the Czar of Russia was in command. During the Mexican Revolution, they assumed to be the actual owners of the territory thus occupied. In the year 1842, through the fostering care of the Russian home government, this colony possessed one-sixth of the white population of California. After the United States finally acquired California, this military colony was withdrawn.
In the year 1835 President Jackson proposed to the government of Mexico to purchase the territory lying east and north of a line drawn from the Gulf of Mexico along the eastern bank of the Rio Grande, up to the thirty-seventh parallel north latitude, and thence along that parallel to the Pacific Ocean. This would have obtained the Bay of San Francisco, but the negotiation failed.

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of the father, through all him all things were made, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, True god from true god, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried, and on the third day he rose again in fullfillment of the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the son who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
