Mexicans (Spanish: Mexicanos) are the people of the United Mexican States, a multiethnic country in North America, and those who identify with the Mexican cultural and/or national identity.
The Mexica founded Mexico-Tenochtitlan in 1325 as an altepetl (city-state) located on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the Valley of Mexico. It became the capital of the expanding Mexica Empire in the 15th century, until captured by the Spanish in 1521. At its peak, it was the largest city in the Pre-Columbian Americas. It subsequently became a cabecera of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Today the ruins of Tenochtitlan are located in the central part of Mexico City.
The modern nation of Mexico achieved independence from the Spanish Empire; this began the process of forging a national identity that fused the cultural traits of indigenous pre-Columbian origin with those of European, particularly Iberian, ancestry. This led to what has been termed "a peculiar form of multi-ethnic nationalism"
The most spoken language by Mexicans is Mexican Spanish, but some may also speak languages from 62 different indigenous linguistic groups and other languages brought to Mexico by recent immigration or learned by Mexican immigrants residing in other nations. There are about 12 million Mexican nationals residing outside of Mexico, with about 11.7 million living in the United States. The larger Mexican diaspora can also include individuals that trace ancestry to Mexico and self-identify as Mexican.
Mexican Americans (Spanish: mexico-americanos or estadounidenses de origen mexicano) are Americans of full or partial Mexican descent. As of July 2013, Mexican Americans made up 10.9% of the United States' population, as 34.6 million U.S. residents identified as being of full or partial Mexican ancestry. As of July 2013, Mexican Americans comprised 64.1% of all Hispanics and Latinos in the United States.
The United States is home to the second-largest Mexican community in the world, second only to Mexico itself, and comprising more than 24% of the entire Mexican-origin population of the world. Canada is a distant third with a small Mexican Canadian population of 96,055 (0.3% of the population) as of 2011.
Over 60% of all Mexican Americans reside in the states of California and Texas. In 2012, the United States admitted 145,326 Mexican immigrants, and as of November 2014, over 1.3 million Mexicans were on the waiting list to immigrate to the United States through legal means.

Texas plans to execute a Mexican citizen on Wednesday, creating a diplomatic standoff between the US and Mexico. Edgar Tamayo was convicted in the shooting death of a Houston police officer in 1994. US Secretary of State John Kerry, Mexican authorities and a former Texas governor are asking current Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) for a temporary stay to sort things out. In 2004, the International Court of Justice handed down the Avena Judgment, which said the US had to review execution sentences of 51 Mexicans. Tamayo would be the third Mexican national executed since that ruling. RT's Meghan Lopez talks to Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, about the international debate caused by this case, including any effect an execution would have on Americans in le...
