Answer:

Yes, Mexican land owners lose their property when that area became part of the US with the Gadsden Purchase

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Gadsden Purchase, the Mexicans gave their land to the United States for building a planned rail. However, the Mexicans received a sum amount of $10 million for their portion of land. The land was basically taken for the southern transcontinental railroad with an attempt to resolve American and Mexican war issues. During this entire process the land along with property was lost.
