i am a person that was born and well still lives in mexico and learned english at a very young age,and well i am a very huge fan of america and american culture!!! i’m glad a lot of american stores and places and even food are here,thanks for that. but anyway, one time when i was browsing through the internet i found some videos of people that were saying that there were like mexican villages in the united states and there was also a lot of mexican food there?? why is that??? i thought mexican food was only found here, like, beans, and tacos, i heard about taco bell but i believe that’s just a new thing. thanks!!!

    You’re kidding, right?

    The west/southwest US was Mexico at one time.

    Texas, New Mexico (think about that), Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, California.

    Los Angeles is a Spanish name.

    As some folks in Texas like to say, “We didn’t move across the border, the border moved across us

        Very much so. Outlaws were always going to Old Mexico (as opposed to New Mexico) to get away from the law.
