What’s the difference between Putin invading to protect Russians who emigrated to Ukraine over the centuries and Mexico invading to protect its citizens who wandered over in the past few decades and became a majority? We are going to end up handing back the southwest for the same reasons.

The Mexicans here don't have their own autonomous region to come and protect if the rest of the USA decided to make changes to it.

You’re not getting the analogy. The US is in a position similar to the Ukraine. The southwest is similar to the areas of the Ukraine where the ethnic Russians are. Russians were shipped there to dilute the Ukrainian population, and that seems to be happening in the southwest with Mexicans. Mexicans call this area “Aztlan” and claim it was wrongly taken from Mexico. Mexico moving in to take it back, on a claim that it was protecting Mexican citizens, would be no different than Russia moving into the Ukraine to protect Russians (who Russia sent there). Keep going down the path we are going, and that area is going to split away at some point, and may even become a protectorate of Mexico.
