&gt; Singling out the US as some sort of unprecedented evil for doing what everybody else has always done is likely the cause of the downvotes.<p>Touchy. I never did that. But you assume. I am simply pointing out that the Western States were Mexican. So for Mexicans to come to America to inhabit them is only natural. Human immigration is also as old as human history.<p>It&#x27;s the Americans who have a problem with the Mexicans. Mexicans have no problem with the fact that the US stole a bunch of their territory a mere 150 years ago. They allow millions of Americans in to their country each year.
