You laugh but I lived in Mexico for 5 years, and my Mexican friends claimed that they were 
reclaiming their old territory one "illegal immigrant" at a time.  Basically they claimed that we 
(northern european descent) were the illegal immigrants.

The Spanish were in the Americas long before England, even exploring California before the English 
set foot in the Americas.
