"Native-born American Hispanics feel like
strangers in their own land."
Charles Truxillo, Professor, University of New Mexico
Under the euphuism 'Hispanic Homeland' and 'Nation of
Aztlan,' activists from numerous organizations
including Mexican American Legal Defense and La Raza
(The Race) activists are attempting to annex large
portions of SW United States to Mexico.
"Republica del Norte," the Republic of the
North, which would include the present U.S. states of
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, plus southern
Colorado, along with several current Mexican states,
is "an inevitability" says Charles
Truxillo, professor, University of New Mexico.
He further states the new "Hispanic
Homeland" should be brought into being "by
any means necessary."
The Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund
(MALDEF), the National Council of La Raza (NCLR),
Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), and
the National Immigration Forum (NIF) whose names
imply grassroots organizations reflecting the
will of American Hispanics, do not represent
mainstream American Hispanic opinion.
Rather, they speak only in their own best interests,
favoring the mass immigration that gives them more
constituents they can then profess to
represent. Polls show that
Hispanic-Americans, like all Americans, support
stronger enforcement of our immigration laws.
A 'Hispanic Homeland' could be written off as the
work of extremists were it not for wide-spread
support by Mexicans. A June 2002 Zogby poll of
Mexicans found that a substantial majority of Mexican
citizens believe that southwestern America is
rightfully the territory of Mexico and that Mexicans
do not need the permission of the U.S. to
enter. The poll, a people search of appropriate
persons, found that 58 percent of Mexicans
agree with the statement, "The territory of the
United States' southwest rightfully belongs to
Mexico." Zogby said 28 percent disagreed, while
another 14 percent said they weren't sure.
Many media and political elites still naively think
immigration is unconditionally good and they do
nothing to reverse the negative aspects of
immigration. Those Americans need to wake up
quickly!
"I am concerned for the security of our great
nation, not so much because of any threat from
without, but because of the insidious forces working
from within."
