Many Hispanics didn't immigrate to the US. Their ancestors were already there when the US conquered California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado from Mexico.

For generations Hispanics were migrating to the states you mentioned. They colonized first. See Pobladores https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Pobladores

Another group of people came along and decided that was enough of that. The land belongs to them now and put up a border after what Ulysses S. Grant called "the most unjust war" ever waged. Please correct me here if I'm wrong.
