“In the last generation we've moved past a U.S.-Mexico relationship that while friendly on the surface, and demilitarized for the most part, really was not a genuinely cooperative relationship.

To add insult to injury, most Americans never knew that, and most Mexicans have never forgotten it.” WarStatesLastsPastUnitedResultsHalfUnited StatesGenerationsCenturyMovedAddWesternForgottenSurfaceInsultInjuryFriendlyMexicoTreaties19th CenturyCooperativesInsult To InjuryGuadalupe Author:Alan Bersin
