Because the majority there are illegals who have been emboldened by the socialist bastards who run those states!! La raza once said this years ago in the early 70’s their goal was to “return California back to Mexico because it was stolen by the gringos”!! They are almost there! Cali is unrecognizable anymore. I do have fond memories of visiting cousins there when I was a teen! Too bad the conservatives in the early 70’s didn’t fight hard enough to keep cali in the hands of the USA! My socialist city in Tx is almost there too!! It’s so strange to go shopping and hear a couple of people speaking English...the majority, including the store clerks speak Spanish! As my city goes so will the rest of Tx with the sleuth of illegal folk and those fleeing those socialist cities many bring their socialist government dependence voting habits with them..damn locusts!!
The movement that came out of the Brown Berets and the origin of La Raza is called La Reconquista. Kevin De Leon and Becera are the current leaders.
