You know why Zapata was so mean?

They used to call him Millie....snicker

It's funny that you picked Zapata's picture. His argument was with the Hacendados whose descendants run things to this day in Mexico. Unlike Villa, who actually went after the U.S. because of support for Carranza, and in so doing caused himself more trouble than he needed.

Neither one of those guys could be called a "Reconquista"; if anything, Villa pointedly said that he wanted Mexico to be more like the United States, and was on good terms with American military until he was basically screwed by Wilson who threw his support to Carranza.

It points out the ongoing truth: no one wants to live under the kind of hell that the Spaniard ruling class imposed on Mexico. They rebel or leave. If the Mestizo underclass were to ultimately control their own lives in Mexico, the problem of mass Mexican "meegration" to the U.S. would probably end.

But like I said, Guero...us Anglos aren't like them. We don't plan to let the self-important Spaniard Caudillo class take over here on the backs of Mestizo anchor baby voters.

You can count on it.
