On the southwest, specially California and Texas, as those were Mexican territories before the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and because those states have the largest economies in the US (hence, more job opportunities).

When did the first Mexicans come to the US?
It was the other way around: when Americans were invited to colonize and settle present-day Texas, following the independence of Mexico from Spain (1821).
When did Mexicans first came to America?
Mexicans had been working in the United States since 1848, when most of the Mexican territories were "acquired" after the Mexican Cession. It wasn't until the Immigration act of 1924 that the United States enforced its borders and made it illegal to work in the U.S. without special permits. Ever since, many people have sought to work in the U.S. without severing their ties to Mexico.

When immigrants came to the US where did they settle?
Mexicans went where there were jobs available to them. At first they stayed in states that previously belonged to Mexico, such as California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, because they are close to home and with large populations of Mexicans so it's familiar to home. It didn't take too long before Latinos started to settle outside of pre-Mexican states, the United States has always preferred to have Mexican labor so there were jobs for them everywhere. Note that Mexicans were not thought of as immigrants, the territory taken from Mexico came with the package of Mexican people that lived on it. Mexicans at first were thought of as normal Americans, they didn't start to be thought of as immigrants until many years after the pre-Mexican states were established and fully mixed with the rest of the country. Although Mexicans were not the only Latinos that immigrated to the United States, they are the most relevant because of the fact that they were the only Latin country that had territory taken from them, which made it much easier to identify where the biggest concentration of Latinos were settling at first.
What was the first country to settle in North America?
