It isn't "your land", Senyor. Our Southwest is the ancestral home of
people with names like Hopi, Hualapai, Apache, Navaho.....
They never ceded their lands to Spaniards.
Nor is the Southwest the ancestral lands of Anglos. But the Anglos
brought wealth to the region and developed the area to the point that
the rest of the world wanted into their society.

........much of the American Southwest belonged to Mexico until the U.S.
siezed it in 1846.
Now some Mexicans want the land back. As a Comanche Indian, I have a
problem with that.
We Comanches pushed the Spaniards out of Texas and eastern New Mexico
over 200 years ago. Neither Spaniards nor Mexicans ever managed to
return.
Comanches used to ride across the Rio Grande every fall to attack
Mexican villages, killing, scalping, plundering and carrying off
captives and livestock.
"Upwards of ten thousand head of horses and mules have already been
carried off," wrote one English eyewitness. "...everywhere the people
have been killed or captured... ranchos barricaded, and the inhabitants
afraid to venture out of their doors."
The truth is, Mexicans were helpless against us. So where did they get
this idea that they used to own our land?
