Not like the spanish did, murder and rape and stealing gold of central and south america...
1 Spain (and later Mexico) destroys the meso-american civilizations causing the death and displacement of millions on natives.
Fast-forward to 1836-1846.
2 American settlers (and later the US government) steal half of Mexico's territory, invade and occupy the country causing the death of thousands of young Mexicans (soldiers and civilians alike).
Thousands of hispanic families had their farms, ranches, etc... confiscated and never got any kind of compensation... they lost their livelihood forever and several generations were condemned to a life of poverty... many of the descendants of those families can still be found throughout southern Texas, California, etc...
