We did not colonize and area. We allowed Vietnamese refugees. We never considered the Latinos already in the US to be aliens, they were born in the US - they were citizens.

This land was conquered by the British so it could export its own people. The way the society was set up, only the eldest son inherited and younger sons had to find something to do. A cruel culture that did not have a place for each person born into it. Many emigrated and when the US was cut off, there was Australia, Africa, India, Malaysia, etc.
