Well said. What is disturbing is that when they win over (or coerce) enough voters, they can stay in office, pandering to LaMecha and the other "reconquista" groups. In brief, they outnumber those who are outraged with these deliberately hateful agendas. The politicians cater to those agendas, which in turn, perpetuates them and gives them "legitimacy!" That is what worries me.
The recent winner of L.A.'s mayoral election was closely associated with these separatists, at one time, and to my knowledge, he has never denounced them.
I'd like to "keep the faith," but it is becoming very difficult.
Thanks so much for your remarks.

Do you really think so?
I seem to hear concern about immigration from many people. I hear it even from people who seem to hold politically correct views on most topics. I'm always a little surprised when someone who seems so clueless about so many things suddenly expresses concern about the border and about illegal immigration. Granted, most of them are not aware of the whole "reconquista" movement, but their concern would certainly include concern about that movement if they were aware. If they could be informed and could begin "voting their beliefs" on immigration, they'd be voting for the candidates who would fight the "reconquista" movement.
Of course, this point brings us back to the problem of how to turn concern about illegal immigration into a winning issue. I think many people would vote for candidates who would address immigration, but those candidates don't seem to exist or don't gain enough power to influence policy.
Either way, thanks for being on top of this issue.
