Ask yourself this: what do you think would happen if to pay the extremely large debt owed by the United States to China, the Chinese government asked Washington for the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas? Even if by Chinese standards those states are "almost uninhabited"?

That is the reason Mexico refused to negotiate "forgotten debt in exchange of land".
