Most Hispanics and whites in the West get along great. I love Mexicans...the people and the culture. What we have going on now though is a narco-war on the Southern border. This has spilled over and caused death on American soil. People are going to react to that, especially with illegal immigration menacing our capacity to a be a nation capable of upholding it’s laws.
This professor is an attention seeking provocateur. I’m certain he doesn’t represent the thinking of the majority of Hispanics. The history is clear.
You can debate forever the policy of Polk and the Mexican-American war. Lincoln opposed it at the time. It was supported by southern expansionists more looking for new senators than new lands. Polk expanded the landmass of the USA second only to Jefferson with the LA purchase. He also settled the border with Canada at the 49th parallel, so he could compromise...Americans were yelling “ 54” 40’ or fight.” Polk is rare among American presidents. He set out with just one goal to achieve within 4 years and did just that.
I wouldn’t’ give this jerk much attention. My bet is he’s making the rounds of the blogs right now, just to see himself talked about.
Unfortunately, this ‘teacher’ is all too typical of the ‘latino’ mindset squatting in this country. Have you seen their protests in our streets??
This guy is typical. This talk, yes by professors has been going on for 15 years. Terry Anderson has been swarmed by them since 1996 in the L.A. Area. Many of us have tried to tell the naysayers and open border republicans what was really going on with their peaceful migrants.
Did anyone get the name of the speaker on the video?
Heres a lot more of it, I dont know if hes in this bunch:

1) Armando Navarro, Prof. Ethnic Studies, UC Riverside at Latino Summit Response to Prop 187, UC Riverside, 1/1995
These are the critical years for us as a Latino community. Were in a state of transition. And that transformation is called the browning of America. Latinos are now becoming the majority. Because I know that time and history is on the side of the Chicano/Latino community. It is changing in the future and in the present the balance of power of this nation. Its a game - its a game of power - who controls it. You (to MEChA students) are like the generals that command armies. Were in a state of war. This Proposition 187 is a declaration of war against the Latino/Chicano community of this country. They know the demographics. They know that history and time is on our side. As one community, as one people, as one nation within a nation as the community that we are, the Chicano/Latino community of this nation. What this means is a transfer of power. It means control.
2) Art Torres, former CA state senator, currently Chair of California Democrat Party at UC Riverside 1/1995
Que viva la causa! It is an honor to be with the new leadership of the Americas, here meeting at UC Riverside. So with 187 on the ballot, what is it going to take for our people to vote - to see us walking into the gas ovens? It is electoral power that is going to make the determination of where we go as a community. And power is not given to you you have to take it. Remember: 187 is the last gasp of white America in California. Understand that. And people say to me on the Senate floor when I was in the Senate, Why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs? And I tell my white colleagues, because youre going to need them.
3) Jose Angel Gutierrez, Prof. Univ. Texas at Arlington, founder La Raza Unida Party at UC Riverside 1/1995
The border remains a military zone. We remain a hunted people. Now you think you have a destiny to fulfill in the land that historically has been ours for forty thousand years. And were a new Mestizo nation. And they want us to discuss civil rights. Civil rights. What law made by white men to oppress all of us of color, female and male. This is our homeland. We cannot - we will not- and we must not be made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that came from another country to another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length and breadth of the Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. Its a matter of time. The explosion is in our population.
5) Mario Obledo, founding member/former natl director of Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), former CA Secty Health/Welfare on Tom Leykis radio talk show
Were going to take over all the political institutions in California. In five years the Hispanics are going to be the majority population of this state. Caller: You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesnt like it they should leave - did you say that? Obledo: I did. They ought to go back to Europe.
14) Augustin Cebada, Information Minister of Brown Berets, militant para-military soldiers of Aztlan shouting at U.S. citizens at an Independence Day rally in Los Angeles, 7/4/96
Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets, were here today to show L.A., show the minority people here, the Anglo-Saxons, that we are here, the majority, were here to stay. We do the work in this city, we take care of the spoiled brat children, we clean their offices, we pick the food, we do the manufacturing in the factories of L.A., we are the majority here and we are not going to be pushed around. Were here in Westwood, this is the fourth time weve been here in the last two months, to show white Anglo-Saxon Protestant L.A., the few of you who remain, that we are the majority, and we claim this land as ours, sits always been ours, and were still here, and none of the talk about deporting. If anyones going to be deported its going to be you! Go back to Simi Valley, you skunks! Go back to Woodland Hills! Go back to Boston! To back to the Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. Youre old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you, leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Even their own ethicists say that they should die, that they have a duty to die. Theyre taking up too much space, too much air. We are the majority in L.A. Theres over seven million Mexicans in L.A. County alone. We are the majority. And youre going to see every day more and more of it, as we manifest as our young people grow up, graduate from high school, go on to college and start taking over this society. The vast majority of our people are under the age of 15 years old. Right now were already controlling those elections, whether its by violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children were going to take over. Other demonstrators: Raza fuerza (brown race power), this is Aztlan, this is Mexico. Theyre the pilgrims on our land. Go back to the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria.
You may have had a point if not for The Socialist Workers and La Raza uniting their demonstrations under the slogan “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us”. La Raza identified the illegal entry over the border as “The Silent Invasion” of liberation to recapture the half of Mexico(Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,and California)illegally and unlawfully taken by “The Gringo”.
