>>13899272The Spanish empire claimed the Southwest but never had any permanent presence. They'd plant their flags or maybe build a fort/church in random places, which is why the Southwest has so many Spanish names. They didn't conquer shit, which is why White American settlers had to deal with Indian raids well into the 19th century. The very notion that any part of the Continental United States is """"rightful""" Mexican clay is revisionist history at best, complete retardation at worst.
