I recently received a reply from the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego concerning my contention that, “Neither Spain, nor Mexico, nor the United States acquired the American Southwest with clean hands, and it makes little sense to infer that Mexico has/had a more solid case for sovereignty than the United States. And, - 160 years later, all this bumper sticker about Mexico being the legitimate owner of the American Southwest is historically untrue and moot.”The reply states, “First of all I agree with you about the American Southwest and I want to thank you for being so tactful with your explanation of it”.
