Some would argue that the American aquisition of Texas was illegal and therefore the Mexicans are entering what should rightfully be their country.

You could really only make that case if you applied international laws backwords through time.  Which would cause soo many problems.

You could argue that its their country by right of conquest, since they are better at sneaking in than America is at keeping/kicking them out. Theres your precedent, and that predates international law.

None of that remotely made any sense...

I mean...

A) International Law exists now.

B) There is no precident before international laws existed on the subject... because there was literally no international law.

Yeah there is. You move somewhere, you naturalise and then make it difficult for anyone to kick you out. Its something which isn't a new phenom. It has been recorded since Roman times and perhaps before then.

Er... which has to do what with international law?
