MEXICO CITY (RWN) - The Mexican Empire would like the land it gave to the United States in 1852 back. And it's prepared to take it by force, if necessary, Mexican Empire Chancellor Juan Guzman said today.

"The lands south of the Gila River in Arizona and New Mexico are culturally and socially with the Mexican Empire," Guzman said in an address to the empire's legislative body. "They share with us a lineage, a history and a common goal: to better themselves."
