Just because they trickled back in does not mean they can claim the land as theirs. Can the Mexican immigrants claim any part of the US as theirs? They have certainly been trickling in as of late. Hell, some of them can even make the claim of ancient home, especially Texas and all.

It's really not analogous because there already is a Mexican homeland: namely Mexico.


True. However we are talking about a specific region, and I really don't see how whether some peoples' posessoin of land or not has to with with claim to other land. As it stands, Mexicans have claim to Texas (which I don't agree with, just to make it clear).

Because Jews faced persecution basically worldwide, so they were naturally drawn to a city to which they felt a strong connection and which already had a Jewish majority? That's rather different than if Mexico - which increasingly resembles a failed state - were to try and reclaim the quite functional Texas, which legitimately seceded for the purposes of self-determination and fought a revolution to that end.
