Mexico's misfortune lies in being too far away from God and too close to America. What do you mean?

There is a bitter proverb in Mexico: "We are too close to the devil and too far from God." The United States, a "civilized" country and its northern neighbors, have brought countless sufferings to Mexico.

An example of the United States merging Texas into Mexico 182 1 After Mexico's independence, Texas became a new state of the United Mexican States. Texas is not only rich in soil, but also cheap in land price, which is equivalent to110 of American land price at that time. Americans have long coveted this land and began to immigrate here in a planned way. Americans ignored the Mexican immigration law, immigrated more and more unscrupulously, and promoted slavery in this land, which caused friction between the two countries. So, 1832, American President and Expansionist Jackson sent Sam? General Houston went to "plot Texas" and planned the "independence movement". 1835, the Mexican government announced the abolition of slavery introduced by illegal immigrants in the United States. To this end, Americans from Texas and the southern States of the United States jointly protested to Mexico. That same year, Texas finally rebelled. 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico and established the "Republic of Texas". 1837 The United States recognized the "Republic of Texas" and Texas applied to join the United States. When the United States Congress disputed the merger, former President Jackson shamelessly preached to Whig President Taylor: "Texas is dedicated to the United States, just as the bride is dedicated to the groom at the wedding." 1844 signed a merger treaty with Texas. The annexation of the United States led to the 1846~ 1847 American-Mexican War. In fact, the United States wants to fight this war, which gives them an excuse for crazy expansion. Sure enough, as a defeated country, Mexico lost not only Texas, but also California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming, covering an area of nearly 2.3 million square kilometers, accounting for half of Mexico's total territory. Today, Mexicans use their unique black humor to recall that sad history and taste the distorted reality. As a Mexican, how can I recover my lost ground? Another Mexican replied, in bed. This joke refers to Mexican immigrants and their descendants who immigrated or sneaked into the United States to get rid of poverty, and they are flooding the southwestern United States that once belonged to Mexico.
