What is happening in LA is part of the Reconquista.
After the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848, Mexico surrendered the northern half of its country to the USA in exchange for $15 million. This was the same amount of money the USA paid France in 1803 for the Louisiana Purchase.
Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1824. Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836. Texas became a state of the United States in 1845.
The additional portions of Mexico that became states of the United States include California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Kansas, & Oklahoma.
To put it bluntly, the Mexicans want it back. Their machismo is still hurting 175 years later.
