In don't know about the Mexican part, but I am sure about the Native Americans. Some claim the Moors were there before.

It belonged to the Native Americans, who came from North, Central, and South America.
In North America there were native tribes like the Cherokee, Choctaw, Iroquois, etc.
In Mexico were the Aztecs, and the Mayas. In South America the Incas.
All were Indians. Most Mexicans are a mixture of native Aztec or "Azteca" or Zapotec, "Zapoteca", and Spanish.

Native Americans were indeed living in North America but because they didn't have a sense of ownership, they got pushed around, and ripped off.

Yes. The Indians that were left over from the genocide, were moved down below Texas to what is now known as Mexico. Native Americans and Mexicans are the same people. Now do you see why they want to come back?

Absolutely!! Even better, there were no "Mexicans" at the time. Mexico was a country founded by invading spaniards who conquered the native americans that lived there!

Yes indeed. And then (some) people thought there was gold here, mind you, there was in certain areas... And so different countries decided the gold was all theirs and to you-know-where with everyone else.
In conclusion, North America was 'founded' by people wanting wealth and power... Which they fought for. Personally I think it's a silly reason to invade lands. The earth doesn't belong to us but is on loan from our children's children and their children... etc.
Remember that quote from the 60's? "Make love not war." Yeah!

Yes. People native to the land were already here. In Mexico, there were indian tribes, just like there were tribes in the US.
