There was not so much migration to Mexico after their independence, maybe after the civil war in Spain, around 40,000 at the most. That was one of the cause why the USA stole a half of Mexico, since the US had called millions immigrants and not Mexico. After the hispanic american civil wars (they weren't really wars of independence) the targets for the spanish migration were Cuba, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
Do you know the Andalusian? By the way, there is no Andalusian at all. Suprised? There are dozens of Andalusians.
Do you know all kinds of Spanish language in Mexico? Could you tell between the Spanish spoken in Veracruz and the Spanish spoken in Hermosillo, for instance?
Do you seriously think you're going to find a pure andalusian dialect in the whole Americas, aren't you?
No. You'll find areas that are more influenced by either the spanish school of Seville or the spanish school of Toledo.
Your answer has been funny, as well as your logic: "since those languages don't sound like Andalusian (and I know quite well how Andalusian sounds), then it was not Andalusians the majority of people that migrated there, but any others, for instance, Basques or other people from North Spain.
It was precisely Andalusians, Extremadurans (both of them part of Castille, by the way) and Castilians the majority of people that migrated to the Americas. By the way, the basque provinces were part of Castile much much before America was discovered.
