The Latino population in this border state is overwhelmingly Mexican. I actually have the stats on this somewhere…. we talked about it in a class I'm currently taking.

I wouldn't mind seeing this property idea extended to some Mexican American families here in the southwest. When the USA bought this land, it forbid the existing Mexican property owners from passing the property down to their heirs. This systematically stripped wealth and power from this community.
