Mexicans have the right to live on this land.

Inflammatory in the sense that your position is basically untenable, and prone to spark a lot of posts that put defense of America ahead of the real questions underlying immigration laws. Very few United States citizens will agree with 0 immigration laws, because that is not a wise policy.
Uninformed, because there have been immigration laws from day 1, and yes we did annex those lands, or they were ceded to us through war, but at this point it is internationally recognized as United States territory, and as such our government has the right and duty to establish immigration laws and protect our border.
And no person is calling another person illegal, but are recognizing that their actions place them in an illegal situation. Thus they are an illegal alien versus a legal alien(such as my mother was before she became a citizen and my ex-wife was before she became a citizen)
