European pioneers adhered to native American land control customs and the two sides went to war. Europeans were simply 10,000+ years more advanced than the natives, so we won the wars.
And if you want to somehow make the argument that whitey should let Mexicans into the US because we stole the land from natives, how do you think the Spanish got Mexico?

oh they had every possible concept of property rights: "this land is ours" and you know this...otherwise they would have had no problem with you moving in and no wars would have started...since wars started, they obviously had a concept
how they marked and administered their property rights or if they marked land at all, is none of your business...its like daquan was to steal a bike and say "it was not locked down and/or tied to a tree, this is mine now it was not marked with the red bloods official do-not-steal sign"
