Ok so I notice a lot of times on these boards there's an over abundance of ignorance and misinformation when it comes to this subject.
FIRST OF ALL...the U.S. took over "America"
We are Native American, we have been here for over 35,000 years (to be conservative). We have the highest population of PURE blooded Native Americans than any other Native American group. (If you work the percentage of pure Indigenous leniage to the total population of Mexicans both mixed and not compare it to ANY other Native American population)
Now to go into detail.
Now I hope as many people read this as possible. Lets start with the word Mexican. Mexican derives from the Native American word Mexica. Mexicans derive primarily from the Uto-Aztecan group of Native Americans who when the Indigenous people of the "Americas" populated this land inhabited both the Western U.S. and Northern Mexico. (As far North as Oregon and as far East as New Mexico)
So let me clarify, the debate that we are only Native to Mexico is false because our heritage has roots in the modern day U.S. as well as Mexico. There are also "Native American Indians" who inhabited both the U.S. and Mexico. That argument is nothing more than a manipulation.
We are not Spanish or European although a large part of our population does have some of the fore mentioned in their blood line. But let me also bring this to your attention, if you are 90 percent Mexican and 10 percent white how much of an impact does that have truely on being Mexican? Any ways our native tongue is not spanish, we have a diverse set of Indigenous languages that are very closely related those of the "Native American Indians". The most commonly spoken is Nahuatl.
I'm getting tired of typing but let me end my post with this. We (Mexicans/Mexica) ARE Native Americans, and although many try to rob us of this title the fact remains. We have suffered many travesties and injustices over the past 500 years and it is one of my biggest prayers that one day we can all live in peace without prejudice and ignorance. Thank You.

I've been to Mexico illegally (it's a long story). I had no problem and you often see American citizens breaking Mexican law down there too. Ever see someone on Spring Break? They act like the rules don't apply.
