Mexico's lawsuit to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
Donald Trump, like the invasion bringing painful wound to Mexico 170 ago, is going to mess up with Mexico again.
Donald Trump gives ridiculous statement that US is actually the victim of Mexico.
Mexicans are calling for lawsuit to nullify the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Mr. Cardenas is leading the lawsuit. He believes the Treaty violates international legal norms.
Bernardo believes that Mr. Cardenas' lawsuit will not be feasible because the past wars are not part of the system of law today, and he said Mexico has acquiesced to the validity of the treaty.
This lawsuit has to go to International Court of Justice, but the US does not recognize the compulsory jurisdiction of the court in contentious cases.
If the Mexican president does not adopt Mr. Cardenas's project, an opposition candidate could assume it as a banner for the next presidential election.
A question is raised: how would be counted the economic gain by US from the territory that was used to be Mexico's.
Many American soldiers were aware of the ugly nature of the war.
The war was too brutal and contradicted the democratic and republican values.
Mr. Cardenas's initiative will have huge public impact, although he may have little chance to win.
The US, in many areas, need to have an honest reconsideration of this war.
This war should be added as a third sin after slavery and racism.
Mexicans have lived on this continent way before white people came here, but now Mexicans become the symbol of disgraceful past of this continent. This is not fair.
For Mexicans, this is a reconquest for neither land or money, rather it is a reconquest for the memory.
The most just reparation would be that the US open to the Mexican descendants from the war.
General Summery
Mexico is preparing for a big lawsuit to sue the US for the unfair Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This lawsuit is really a big thing, so it will go to International Court of Justice. Some Mexican politicians do not think Mexico will win and the US may not be going to recognize the compulsory jurisdiction of the court in contentious cases. However, Mexico is still going to launch this project because this is not for land or money, it is for the honor of the memory of the war. The US soldiers do realize the pain that the US brought to Mexican people. The best result would be that the US open to the Mexican descendants from the war.
What I think would happen...
Since the treaty was really sign by Mexico being forced by the US with military threat, and the treaty also violates international legal norms, I think there would be chance for Mexico to win this lawsuit. However, I don't think the US will give their territory back because they are really US properties right now. It's more likely that the Court asks US to pay more money to Mexico as compensations, or to open the road of citizenship to Mexican descendants. However, the fact that Mexicans are still minority in the United States and they will still be disliked here.

What happened at Sutter's Mill?
James Marshall found god nuggets in the American River. These news brought many people to California.
Why were people who went to California to seek gold called forty-niners?
It's because they went to California in 1849 to find gold.
Where was John's sawmill located?
It was located on along the American River.
Why did the population of California increase so much after the discovery of gold?
Because people want to get rich, they want to search for the gold.
If I lived in 1849, I think I would travel to California to seek gold, because people back in the time were not rich, and there are gold there anyway, if I don't get it, someone else will, so why not get it myself.
Hey, mom, I found lots of gold in the river, and there are plenty more. They are free, everyone is finding gold now. Come help me so that we can make ourselves rich.
