Why did the united states complete the gadsben purchase in 1853

In 1853, the Mexican government kicked Americans out of the territory. ... Congress ratified a revised version of the treaty; the U.S. would purchase just over 29 thousand square miles of land in exchange for $10 million. The Gadsden Purchase secured area for the transcontinental railroad and set the U.S.-Mexican border.

The land acquired in the purchase was necessary for the completion of the transcontinental railroad.
