California was part of Mexico from 1760 to 1849 when gold was discovered and we became part of the USA. Texas was part of Mexico too. Florida Means Flowery Place in Spanish...

So when Trump wanted to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out, he is 250 years too late...

Most of the cities of California were founded by a Catholic Priest called Junipero Serra. That's why we have Spanish Names... San Jose was named for Saint Joseph... San Francisco was named for Saint Francis of Assisi... The Ciudad de Los Angeles=The City of the Angels... He rode north from Mexico on El Camino Real(the Royal Road) and built a Mission one days ride apart going up the coast... San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Monterrey all were Mexican towns originally.

In Texas, El Paso(The pass), Amarillo(yellow) and the Rio Grande(big river) have Spanish names.

It makes a lot more sense to be friends with Mexicans than to build a wall to keep them out.
