“Mexico used to be part of Spain. Return Mexico to the Spaniards.”

Spain took it from the Indians. The Indians constantly warred with each other and took territory.

The Trump Administration knows exactly what it is doing.

They are flushing these people out and exposing them to the public.

The American public is going to be given a choice between two very different futures. It will be interesting to see which one we choose.

The American response and public opinion is going to impact a lot of Supreme Court decisions, especially the one on Birthright Citizenship - which is about to become one of the most important and impactful landmark decisions in Supreme Court History .

The only way a Roberts Court rules in favor of the Trump Administration position is public opinion is overwhelmingly on President Trump's side.

“yeah, a war with Mexico would be good training for the ROTC students. No need to bother the big boys. They got this.”

Sadly, they don’t need a war in the classic sense.

They’re winning a protracted low intensity war right now - millions of their citizens crossing the border and assuming the US to be theirs, cartels shipping drugs and god knows what else across the border, etc.

That's what this invasion and insurrection are all about:

A declaration of war against the USA by the Mexican drug cartels and the Mexican Government, which they control, using

the President of Mexico, as a pawn, and the insurgents in the USA, as soldiers,

and using as weapons

Mexican nationalism,

Mexican resentment toward the USA for past transgressions, especially the annexation of Mexican territory by the USA in the 19th century and a desire to reclaim it,

the complicity, witting or unwitting, of the US Democrat Party and its supporters, including the so-called "journalists" of the news media and the feckless, misguided and easily brainwashed American "liberals"/"progressives", and

the Decadence of Western Civilization in America, manifest as the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and its 21st century successor, wokeism, which they perceive as a lethal weakness crippling American society, the American People, and the entire United States,

and they perceive--ERRONEOUSLY--that the time to strike is now, when the USA, at least in their opinion, is at its weakest, before President Trump and the MAGA Republicans can re-establish US strength and ascendancy.

Weak and incompetent US "leaders" such as the ridiculous Joe Biden and the absurd, weeping Gavin Newsom fuel their erroneous conviction that the US is weak enough for attack and conquest, but it is fueled even more by the stupid Americans who support such idiotic weaklings and their woke and evil Democrat Party.

The stupid woke Americans and their ridiculous and absurd leaders notwithstanding, should the enemies of the USA--WHOEVER THEY MIGHT BE!--persist in their attack on the USA they will awaken a Sleeping Tiger and will suffer the same fate as the Japanese Empire.

Be forewarned!

WAS being the operative word here. Aztlan is no more and has not been a thing for almost 200 years. Deal with it!!!!


Aztlan never was. It's mythological existence is a creation of the Chicano La Raza Movement . The Chicano's La Raza movement is a Mexican/Latin American facist racial supremacy movement that makes 1930s German National Socialism look moderate by comparison.,p> The formal name for the group is Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (M.E.Ch.A.for short) which translates into “Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán” in English.

They grew out of the 1960s radical movement. They were the Mexican radical gang equivelent to the Black Panther Party in the 1960s Their motto is “Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada” which translates lossely as “For The Race, everything, for everyone outside The Race, nothing”.

Arizona's Congressioal Rep Raúl Grijalva was a major community organizer and leader in the La Raza movement.

La Raza politics are a huge underground movement in the Hispanic community nationwide and it is becoming the dominant political ideology in the Hispanic community California. The La Raza political ideology is fundamental to the Mexican Drug cartels and they use the La Raza infrastructure to network their criminal activities within Hispanic community the US.

Their rally cause is "The Reconquista" which is the re conquering of the United States via demographic replacement followed to reach a critical mass of Hispanic population to effect a violent revolution to re claim the mythical state of Azatlan.

La Raza politics are a huge underground movement in the Hispanic community nationwide and it is becoming the dominant political ideology in the Hispanic community California. They are a huge political force and hold many elected positions within the state, local and national governments in the United States.

Hot beds are the LA/So Cal and San Jose areas and in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and many other states with exploding Hispanic populations.

There are illegal alien dominated cities an SoCal and Central California where the illegal alien population is so dominant that if illegal aliens were not voting in US elections, nobody would be voting in those precincts.

La Raza is the nexus between powerful and in some areas like LA dominant Hispanic political power, the illegal alien community and the US activites of the violent Mexican and South American drug cartels.

A large portion of the illegals who were trafficed into the US by NGOs were vetted for their activist and revolutionary sympathies and they are becoming active in La Raza politcs

"While making her point, she told “NewsNight” viewers that California was once part of Mexico, adding that all of the Southwest was “Mexico.”

Possession is nine-tenths of the law, girly. If it's yours, come and take it--if you can.

Aztlan was some mythical Aztec empire. The truth, the Aztecs were only in Central Mexico. Every other tribe in Mexico hated them for their butchery-which is why many of those tribes joined the Spaniards to beat the Aztecs.

And the other land here belonged to the Indians. Who inhabited the land prior to the Mexicans?

If they are going to play that game, various Native American tribes might have something to say.

Especially the Apache and Comanche tribes. And the Pueblo peoples in New Mexico.

The key word there is “was.”

It WAS for about 25 years, and it was almost an entirely empty wasteland during that time. Then Mexico started a war with us and lost. As part of the treaty to end the war, Mexico ceded territory to the U.S. (California, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, and parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming) and we PAID $15 million to Mexico for that territory. In the roughly 175 years since then US citizens, companies and governments have poured literally trillions of dollars into developing this land - so it is OURS! We bought it, we’ve held it 7 times longer (and counting) and we developed this previously empty wilderness. It’s ours, no question.

My wife grew up in Mexico, so I don’t say this lightly: Mexico and anyone else (whether a country, politician or individual) who claims the American southwest for Mexico can shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Absolutely

Mexico never really made much headway into what is now US territory except for a few miles north of the current US border and along the coast in California

The Comanche and Apache Indians saw to that.

The Aztecs made a few efforts to move north over the years as well and got their butts kicked too.

But never let facts get int eh way of narrative.

And this is not about the past.

La Raza Chicanos are very much aware of the history of how Mexican territory became part of the US.

That's why they call it “The Reconquista” , or re conquering of the South Western United States, even if they never had it in the first place

Ironically, the Aztecs claimed to have migrated to Mexico from the north.
