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 León 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 Norteño 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.

What an asswipe.
I agree with the prof. Demographics are the future.
Remember the Alamo? We do.
Hmm. The new Palestine.
Bullshit.
Texans fought for their independence from Mexico once--will be able to do it again?
Good luck with Texas Proffessor!

Sure...let's turn those states into corrupt sh*tholes like Mexico.
Now why would they want to cede when they can partake in our government to open unrestricted immigration from Mexico, then eventually take over North America?
Heck, large sections of L.A. are already a "sovereign Hispanic nation".
If he said it should be brought into being by any means necessary, doesn't that constitute treason?
And secondly, the entire notion is fraudulent. If US gave back Southwest to Mexico, is Mexico going to give it back to the Apaches, Aztecs, etc?
US won it fair and square in a war. If Mexico wants it back, let 'em start (and win) a war. Fair enough.
Bttt. Someone on a private joke list got all bent out of shape about a Spanish-tinged joke, calling it racist. Need for him to read this article!
That could be, if you are of the opinion that what hispanics want is their own country in the US that is not American.
Most of the hispanics I know that are citizens are very proud to be so. They are not interested in any Atzlan or whatever some lib prof wants to call it.
Yeah, good luck getting the people from Texas to go along with that ;)
The rest wouldn't surprise me...
thats NOT a new concept...
but of course this guy is probably a revisionist historian too
