'Over the 3 centuries Mexico have been trespassing in America and fleeing police.'
Iberians, the concept of Spain came years later after colonisation began, with the assistance of native allies toppled the ruling indigenous empires in the early 1500s and established colonies in slivers of the Americas in the first decades of colonisation, far from the entire continent.
It is estimated that as much as 90% of the native population perished due to diseases rather than warfare so these vast areas not under European rule is what allowed native populations to recover in numbers in the subsequent decades.
This allowed ‘mestizos’, who were of mixed ancestry and outnumbered those who were mostly of European ancestry, to thrive and prosper at the expense of those of mainly native ancestry and gradually assimilated the remaining indigenous population spread across the region in a process that lasted centuries and into the 1800s. By then the main demographic of Iberian colonies would have been Westernised mestizos of varying admixture and indigenous peoples, not people of mostly European ancestry.
There are sources that state that around 60% of the Mexican population spoke a native language in the 1820s, Spanish only became widespread in Latin America after the independence wars were over. So it is erroneous to assert and imply that Spanish was imposed instantly in the 1500s and mostly by those of mainly European ancestry. It was in fact a slow gradual process of assimilation that took centuries and mainly carried out by Westernised Latin Americans of varying ancestry, not too dissimilar to how other indigenous languages would have been disseminated as well.
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 August 2024
@Chronus: There is not a rule that the tag must be removed the instant the article falls a single word below 15k. As per Wikipedia:Summary_style#Article_size: "generally 50 kilobytes of readable prose (8,000 words) is the starting point at which articles may be considered too long. Articles that go above this have a burden of proof that extra text is needed to efficiently cover their topics and that the extra reading time is justified". See also WP:COUNTRYSIZE.
