It's the same thing we went through from England but they fought Spain...

If you want free borders does it really matter if Mexico was populated by Spaniards and they weren't the indigenous people you thought they were to the Americas? It’s like you think the Mexicans are what the Indians are to America, that they were the indigenous people, meaning the people who seem to have always been there…

The Mexican War of Independence (1810–1821) was an armed conflict between the people of Mexico and the Spanish colonial authorities which started on 16 September 1810. The Mexican War of Independence movement was led by Mexican-born Spaniards, Mestizos and Amerindians who sought independence from Spain. It started as an idealistic peasants' rebellion against their colonial masters, but finally ended as an unlikely alliance between liberals and conservatives.

It can be said that the struggle for Mexican independence dates back to the decades after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, when Martín Cortés, son of Hernán Cortés and La Malinche, led a revolt against the Spanish colonial government in order to eliminate the issues of oppression and privileges for the conquistadors.[1]

After the abortive Conspiracy of the Machetes in 1799, the War of Independence led by the Mexican-born Spaniards became a reality. The movement for independence was far from gaining unanimous support among Mexicans, who became divided between independentists, autonomists and royalists.

Just as we populated from came from England they came from Spain
Sorry, i didn't mean to insinuate that you should shoot yourself. It was meant to mean... "thread backfire." That being said, ok I take it back. You stirred up a good discussion.
