Not sure if this is a history question or a social one...
If history- yes, the white man did take the land from the native americans. Yes, they took it from the mexicans, though by "take" I mean won it by force as every major nation did at one point. This is especially the case with the mexicans.
If social- The majority of Americans are not anti Mexican or anti immigrant, they are pro law. We also are not opposed to Mexicans becoming assimilated into the culture, we just take offense at making concessions for them. If they want to live here it is their duty to adapt to the people of the country.

No. North America consisted of hundreds of separate tribes and clans of Native Americans. When "white man" invaded North America from Europe, they simply murdered the "Natives" that lived in those areas.
The Indians in Mexico had suffered a separate threat from Spain some years before. The conquerors of Mexico integrated their race with the natives, in addition to the murder and genocide.
Today, Americans don't want the Mexicans out, they just don't want them to come in the first place. You see, the Mexican government have been given any opportunities to develop Mexico as a competitor in the world market place. Every Mexican should be provided with good jobs right at home. Fair wages and education opportunities should become available in Mexico. The US and Mexico should be close allies in the same way that the US and Canada collaborate and develop business together.
NAFTA was supposed to fix all of this. Mexico needs a good government. Mexico need to encourage a more confident business.

Long long ago which people seem to want to do. China a vicious ruler chased these people run away slaves. Some left in boats knowing they would die if caught. They ended up in the Hawaii islands. Some ran over land through Alaska. We know that because, the Mongolian people have type O blood. which so does the American Indian. for years they thought they came from Europe. But most Europeans have type A blood.
So they figured out that wasn't true. They migrated following the herds to all over the American continent. They came from run away slaves from the Mongolian empire of Asia. Then other people came in boats, Vikings, all sorts of Spaniards. No one really knows how many entered this continent and bred with these people. Until Columbus, brought white people in great numbers. Then the Europeans came and settled here. So who is to say who owns the continent. some say there was white people here before the Mongolians> Who really knows who was here first? Wars where going on between the Indians long before Columbus got here. They were vicious fighters.
Spaniards bred with the ones who got here before them.
So this whole continent is a mixture of races. From the French Cajuns in Louisiana to the Mexicans in California and Texas.
The point is we are all Americans now.

my people were invaded by the so called White man.
we lost much but we have regained our respect for our land and the honor of our people is returning.
this was said by shaman Eaglebear.
i am a white descendant of the Blackfoot natives.
we do not want the Mexicans out. we do not care if they come in LEGALLY. every land has boarders. if you trespassed on the hunting lands of a Blackfoot tribe, you were likely to become hunted yourself and possibly (likely) killed. it is the same principal now.
the Mexicans that illegally enter the country come here as criminals. they begin breaking our laws before they even get here. the do not respect us or our land they only wish to take from it and give nothing back. the tribes would never allow this in the old days and today all of us as a country should not be allowing it.
if they come legally and announce their presence then they come to our land our country then they are welcome.
if the come illegally and hide their identy from us then they are invaders trying to take what is not theirs to take.

This happens throughout history. Native people are attacked and ruled by Europeans, and as a result are forced into slavery, forced migration and the loss of their culture, including their languages.
Mexicans are mestizos, meaning they are a mix of Indian and Spanish.

Don't mean to sound nasty here but you really should go to your local liburary and read about it all. You seem to have it a bit screwed up. It would take longer to answer your question then we have space for here.
