The falklanders who have XIX century ancestors in the islands are 1800 people, I don't think such a small population had a right of self determination. And they are slightly over half of the population, they could become a minority.
And they arrived after an argentine governor and the small argentine population was expulsed, they are not natives.

I am not saying they don't have a right to be there, and that their property should not be respected. For Argentina their are potentially argentines since they are people born in what Argentina sees as argentine territory, so they could ask for argentine IDs, use our hospitals for free and go to college here, it was quite common before the war.
