Anglo-Americans
Anglo settlers were colonist in Mexico and Mexican settlers weren't
The question of whether the Anglo settlers were right to rebel against the Mexican government is complex and depends on perspective. From the settlers' viewpoint, they sought greater autonomy and protection of their rights, feeling marginalized by Mexican policies. Conversely, from the Mexican perspective, the rebellion was an act of insurrection that violated their sovereignty and laws. Ultimately, the justification for the rebellion can be debated based on issues of governance, cultural differences, and conflicting interests.
The California Gold Rush significantly impacted Mexican Americans, often leading to their marginalization and loss of land. As thousands of settlers flooded into California, many Mexican landowners were dispossessed of their properties through legal loopholes and violence. Additionally, Mexican Americans faced discrimination and violence from Anglo settlers, which contributed to social and economic challenges that persisted long after the Gold Rush ended. Despite these hardships, some Mexican Americans adapted by engaging in new economic opportunities, including mining and agriculture.
The result of the Mexican-American War allowed unrestricted settlement of Anglo settlers over all lands which used to belong to Mexico. Of special importance were California and Texas. This east-west immigration increased after the California Gold Rush of 1848, even before the Mexican-American War was over. Most Mexican-Americans who were absorbed into the population after the war were sacked from their properties by Anglo settlers, as the court system relied on English speaking authorities -- and most Mexican settlers were plain peasants without the means to hire an English-speaking lawyer. The less fortunate were lynched by Anglo-speaking mobs.

As much as current Mexican-Americans have the right to split and conform the independent republic of Mexifornia (e.g. a resounding NO).
