California was always part of Mexico, including Texas and also the southern states. Mexicans never left. That’s why you see so many Latinos still here as most never moved here the border just moved behind them. Now imagine California is removed from the United States and it goes back to Mexico that would mean all the Americans that are currently residing in the land would be considered illegal. Instead of hating the people because what they look like, perhaps have a little common sense to know that human beings have been moving wherever they wanted since civilization began. Every species on the planet does it when they search for a better living so what makes us any different than any other species? If you live that way in another country with no infrastructure and violence poverish conditions, you would want better for yourself. Shouldn’t be hypocritical especially when the majority of the people that currently live in the United States have ancestors that migrated from other countries for better conditions. The circumstances have never changed just the era when they occurred.
