A Mexican isnt a thing. Spain is why the country mexico had the borders it did. The borders had nothing do to with native tribes or natural borders. The borders didnt even have anything do with the Colonial European newly independent Mexican governments ability to project power 1200 miles north of its capital. . The area that is now American soil was largely dominated by non Spanish speaking native Americans, outlaws, and European pioneers. The area you just say is Mexico is not. Its Comanche, Apache, Pueblo, Navajo, Chumesh and others. The natives failed to hold their land against the expansionists mindset that dominated every people on earths mind at times. Its history now. Thats Americas, Natives have a right to live in those areas, and do to this day, in greater numbers than ever. Mexico isnt shit. Its a colonial remnant that failed to hold on to its bloated borders. The only reason mexico exists is because of spain, and a strong Euro dominated culture and ethnic group in Mexico city. If it werent for europeans mexico would probably be 20 different shit hole countries sacrificing each other thinking itll bring rain.

Those natives are the same people called Mexicans now. Proves my point. Thanks for the history lesson

Language, and culture define a people. Mayan language and culture are not at all similar to Pueblo. Commanche peoples in the USA do not conisder themselves to be Mexican, obviously.
