briskit,

The Mexicans weren't aboriginals. They have no more historical right to it than the Spanish, French or English.

re: "Most Mexicans resent the Mexican lands we now have, and many hope to see their land restored to them one day."

The Texas was a part of Mexico from 1821 till 1836, 15 years. Texas has been a part of the United States for a little longer than 15 years.

California was a part of Mexico from 1821 till January 1847 (or 26 years). Northern California (and Alaska), of course was colonized by the Russians. Should we next expect waves of illegal Russian immigrants? :o)
