Summary
This article discussed the plan to nullify the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo along with its feasibility and effect. Though Mexican have reasonable evidences to reclaim their lost territory, it is unlikely that such proposal will come true due to US's denial to the international court and the law discrepancy between now and a century ago, and other miscellaneous reasons. Nevertheless, the idea of negotiation about the lost territory will help unifying people for fighting against Trump, uncover another long-hidden sin of US, and reduce American Mexican's suffering.
Prediction:
Similar to the that of the article, I think the suggestion of reclaiming the land will not came to reality. Nevertheless, such proposal is an essential and necessary step for Mexican to step up against America's unfair treatment and unjust law to Mexican people. Though it seems impossible for Mexico to regain half of its land, it is likely that in the future, United States government will take the suffering of Mexican people into consideration as the result of the protest derivates from the debate of the historical territory dispute.
