Inane. Latinos lived in what you currently called the US, back when "Mexico" included California, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, some of Colorado, etc.
Not knowing your own history doesn't change the reality of your stupid racism.
Read this slowly, because racists have sloping foreheads and can't think quickly.
More often than not folks that you think are "mexican" are from less southern places and are likely Native American descent rather than "Mexican". You should also understand that the Spanish folks made it up to the lower 48 and interbred creating "latinos" even among that population.
Even that doesn't change that a large portion of the folks you think are "wetbacks" never had to cross a river, aren't Mexican, aren't even Latino (though they often are at least partially European making their ancestry much like the Latinos you so disparage).
Your stupidity notwithstanding, folks that lived here before the Vikings discovered Native Americans were living here may have browner skin than yours, but it doesn't necessarily make them Latino.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

What we know about illegal immigration from Mexico
By Ana Gonzalez-Barrera and Jens Manuel Krogstad
There were 11.6 million immigrants from Mexico living in the United States in 2017, and fewer than half of them (43%) were in the country illegally, according to Pew Research Center estimates. Mexico is the country’s largest source of immigrants, making up 25% of all U.S. immigrants.

Which still doesn't change that not every brown skinned person in the lower 48 is "latino" or even from Mexico. Just saying that some folks came here to increase their numbers doesn't change that all of the places I listed had the history I noted. Not even every Spanish speaker in the US came across a border, even all the Latinos that are here aren't "wetbacks" as your brother racist called them. Quite simply, it is quite normal to see brown folk that were not from Mexico in the United States, because brown folks were here before the white folks came. Brown folks were here even before the pope divided South America between Spain and Portugal.

I wonder if a majority of people in the hood know what BIPOC is.
I doubt it. LatinX and BIPOC are terms that white leftists come up with to make themselves feel better. Better than you and better about themselves. (because they loathe themselves for their inner racism)
Real people hardly ever hear of this BS.

Not familiar with the term "indigenous" ?
Means people originally from around here. While the "First People" were not really FROM here (they came from Asia we are told) they've been here long enough to quality.
I, for example am not really so as my people came from the British Isles (mostly).
And the missus, though related to Pocahontas, cannot be accurately viewed as one.
One relative does not an indigenous make.

Old demographic data shows an enormous increase in Latinos in the USA South West in even just 40 years!
I didn't deny some old Spanish speaking families in the USA South west.
Not all are even Brown.
The Whitest part of Mexico is the North.
Now why can a Spanish Conquistador or Slave trader get Affirmative Action but I of oppressed Polish & Irish near refugees can't!?
I actually advocate Indigenous rights.
Ask yourself if the Left cares!?
Nearly 60% of Indigenous Americans marry non Indigenous people.
Is that going to keep them alive l& kicking long term!?

Really mexican
not derived from "paesano", which is italian.
Paisa is slang for someone who is from your country. Paisa is derived from the word ‘país’ in Spanish which means country.
