History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

There was a war in the 1800s that USA had with Mexico. We beat them so bad that they surrendered all of Mexico to us.

In the end it was decided not to accept the deal, as it would just create a new set of problems with needing to legalize the citizenry of ALL former Mexicans.

You may be underestimating the right's appetite for genocide

No it's why they didn't want them to be citizens. Keep that option open in the future.

Today's right will just go for a genocide, then try to "great replace" them later on.
