...they should give it back to the French, who founded the first colony at Port Louis in 1764? it predates the British settlement of 1766 at Port Egmont. Or possibly the Spanish, since Magellan first put the Islands on the map in the 1500's?
Argentina wasn't even an independent state until 1816. It's tricky to see what sort of claim they have.
