REPOST — May as well stir this pot one last time since all this seems to be overlooked in the current debates.
El Plan de Aztlan
There’s a college club in the USA that essentially advocates the take-over of some Western states and giving them to Mexico. This seems to be encouraged by the politicians by allowing wide-open borders. This link (above) connects to the group up at the University of Oregon. If you wonder why the Republican party has suddenly captured much of the Latino voting block, this is the reason: open borders. The long term effects are obvious.
In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal “gringo” invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny.
The group to follow is MEChA, a coalition of Latinos vowing to re-take parts of the USA for Mexico.

…Thus Rodolfo Acuaa’s Occupied America claims the Southwest for Mexicans. Chicano activists (Chicanismo) push not only for civil rights for illegal Mexicans but also for the return (reconquista) of the lost provinces to form Aztlan. Chicanismo demands Spanish language and culture education, not English or American cultural schooling. The Movimiento Estudiante Chicano de Aztlan (MECHA) in 1970 formed a political party, La Raza Unida, won control of Crystal City, Texas, and tried to make it into a Chicano city. The party split and has had little political impact since but could easily revive in California or Texas.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the Southwest and several northern states of Mexico.
Charles Truxillo suggests the Republica del Norte, the Republic of the North, is “an inevitability.”
He envisions it encompassing all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and southern Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican states: Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.
Along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border there is a growing fusion, a reviving of connections,” Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and Norteo Mexicanos are becoming one people again.”
Truxillo, 47, has said the new country should be brought into being “by any means necessary,” but recently said it was unlikely to be formed by civil war. Instead, its creation will be accomplished by the electoral pressure of the future majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.
