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.

Spain had an early head start on other European nations in exploring and colonizing vast territories in the Western Hemisphere. Upon entering what is now the Gulf of Mexico, they came upon advanced American Native civilizations. The Aztec and Inca civilizations were in what is now Mexico, and the Incas dwelled in the west coast of South America. These areas became the sites of many Spanish colonies because they discovered that the precious metals of silver and gold were found in abundance in these Native civilizations. Yes, it became known that peoples thousands of miles apart could treasure the same metals. Spanish explorers also established colonies in what is now California and in the US Southwest.
