Article from 2006:
The nations television screens many days recently have been filled with scenes of huge crowds carrying the colorful green and red flag of Mexico viewers could well have thought it was a national holiday in Mexico City.
It was instead, downtown Los Angeles, Calif., although the scene was recreated in numerous other cities around the country with substantial Mexican populations. Hordes of Mexican expatriates, many here illegally, were protesting the very U.S. immigration laws they were violating with impunity. They found it offensive and a violation of their rights that the U.S. dared to have immigration laws to begin with.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa mounted the podium, but any hopes that he would quiet the crowds and defend the law were soon dashed. Villaraigosa, himself, has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration law.
For law-abiding Americans without knowledge of the dark side of our current illegal immigration crisis, all this is unfathomable. For those who know the truth about the La Raza movement, these demonstrations were a prophecy fulfilled.
It is past time for all Americans to know what is at the root of this outrageous behavior, and the extent to which the nation is at risk because of La Raza The Race.
There are many immigrant groups joined in the overall La Raza movement. The most prominent and mainstream organization is the National Council de La Raza the Council of The Race.
To most of the mainstream media, most members of Congress, and even many of their own members, the National Council of La Raza is no more than a Hispanic Rotary Club.
But the National Council of La Raza succeeded in raking in over $15.2 million in federal grants last year alone, of which $7.9 million was in U.S. Department of Education grants for Charter Schools, and undisclosed amounts were for get-out-the-vote efforts supporting La Raza political positions.
The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for housing reform, while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Radical Reconquista Agenda
Behind the respectable front of the National Council of La Raza lies the real agenda of the La Raza movement, the agenda that led to those thousands of illegal immigrants in the streets of American cities, waving Mexican flags, brazenly defying our laws, and demanding concessions.
Key among the secondary organizations is the radical racist group Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.
One of Americas greatest strengths has always been taking in immigrants from cultures around the world, and assimilating them into our country as Americans. By being citizens of the U.S. we are Americans first, and only, in our national loyalties.
This is totally opposed by MEChA for the hordes of illegal immigrants pouring across our borders, to whom they say:
Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny. (Statement on University of Oregon MEChA Website, Jan. 3, 2006)
MEChA isnt at all shy about their goals, or their views of other races. Their founding principles are contained in these words in El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan (The Spiritual Plan for Aztlan):
In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal gringo invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. Aztlan belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.
That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.
If these morally sickening MEChA quotes were coming from some fringe website, Americans could at least console themselves that it was just a small group of nuts behind it. Nearly every racial and ethnic group has some shady characters and positions in its past and some unbalanced individuals today claiming racial superiority and demanding separatism. But this is coming straight from the official MEChA sites at Georgetown University, the University of Texas, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Colorado, University of Oregon, and many other colleges and universities around the country.
MEChA was in fact reported to be one of the main organizers of those street demonstrations we witnessed over the past weeks. That helps explain why those hordes of illegal immigrants werent asking for amnesty they were demanding an end to U.S. law, period. Unlike past waves of immigrants who sought to become responsible members of American society, these protesters reject American society altogether, because they have been taught that America rightfully belongs to them.
MEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as Aztlan a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to La Raza once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will simply be extinguished.
This plan is what is referred to as the Reconquista or reconquest, of the Western U.S.
But it wont end with territorial occupation and secession. The final plan for the La Raza movement includes the ethnic cleansing of Americans of European, African, and Asian descent out of Aztlan.
As Miguel Perez of Cal State-Northridges MEChA chapter has been quoted as saying: The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to it]. Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power.
MEChA Plants
Members of these radical, anti-American, racist organizations are frequently smoothly polished into public respectability by the National Council of La Raza.
Former MEChA members include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who was officially endorsed by La Raza for mayor and was awarded La Razas Graciela Olivarez Award. Now we know why he refuses to condemn a sea of foreign flags in his city. California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante is also a former MEChA member. He delivered the keynote address at La Razas 2002 Annual Convention.
The National Council of La Raza and its allies in public office make no repudiation of the radical MEChA and its positions. In fact, as recently as 2003, La Raza was actively funding MEChA, according to federal tax records.
Imagine Robert Byrds refusing to disavow the views of the KKK, or if Strom Thurmond had failed to admit segregation was wrong. Imagine Heritage or Brookings Foundation making grants to the American Nazi Party.
Is the National Council of La Raza itself a racist organization? Regardless of the organizations suspect ties, the majority of its members are not. When one examines all the organizations activities, they are commendable non-profit projects, such as education and housing programs.
But even these defensible efforts raise the question of whether education and housing programs funded with federal tax dollars should be used in programs specifically targeted to benefit just one ethnic group.
La Raza defenders usually respond by calling anyone making these allegations a racist for having called attention to La Razas racist links. All the groups and public officials with ties to the La Raza movement can take a big step towards disproving these allegations by simply following the examples of Senators Byrd and Thurmond and repenting of their past ways.
If they are unwilling to admit past misdeeds, they can at least state unequivocally that they officially oppose the racist and anti-American positions of MEChA, and any other groups that espouse similar views.
Through public appearances, written statements, and on their respective websites, La Raza groups and allies must:
1. Denounce the motto For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada, as repugnant, racist, and totally incompatible with American society or citizenship.
2. Acknowledge the right of all Americans to live wherever they choose in the U.S. without segregation.
3. Commit to sponsorship of nationwide educational programs to combat racism and anti-Semitism in the Hispanic community.
4. Denounce and sever all ties with MEChA and any other organizations with which they have ever been associated which held to the racist doctrines held by MEChA.
5. Acknowledge the internationally recognized borders of the U.S., the right of the citizens of the U.S. to determine immigration policy through the democratic process, and the right of the U.S. to undertake any and all necessary steps to effectively enforce immigration law and defend its border against unauthorized entry.
6. Repudiate all claims that current American territory rightfully belongs to Mexico.
If the National Council of La Raza, other La Raza groups, and local and national political leaders with past ties and associations with the radical elements of the La Raza movement can publicly issue such a statement and live by every one of these principles, they should be welcomed into the American public policy arena, with past sins real or imaginary forgiven.
If they cannot publicly and fully support these principles, Congress needs to take appropriate steps and immediately bar any group refusing to comply from receiving any future federal funds. Both the House and Senate should strike these groups from testifying before any committees, and the White House should sever all ties. Both political parties should disengage from any further contact with these groups and individuals.
There are plenty of decent, patriotic Hispanic organizations and elected officials to provide Congress with necessary feedback on specific issues confronting Americans of Latino heritage. Any group or individual who can agree with the simple six points should be welcomed into that fold.
If not, the American people will know theres a wolf in their midst, and take the necessary precautions to defend our Republic against an enemy.

This is Trump at work.
Trump knows a Mexican when he sees one
Heard Buck Sexton on Rush say that California is going to allow ILLEGALS to “purchase” Obama Care...
Getting time to kick Mexico in the butt again along with the sell out in the oval office and Congress.
Slowly the truth comes out
I grew up in a primarily Hispanic area in Pico Rivera in the sixties seventies I’m well acquainted with these racist organizations... people you need to read up on these people they are looking to reconquer this area
Not sure where you’re coming from there.
Love the rich Mexican culture, Christian roots and hard work ethic.
Maybe you meant to say, “Trump knows an invader when he sees one”
Correct and the legal argument these subversives make is that the the Treaty of Guadeloupe-Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican War in 1845, was illegally forced upon Mexico.
Therefore these lands belong to Mexico.
Trump starts a conversation, doesn’t back down, and all of a sudden people are looking things up and figuring things out.
A person whose allegiance lies with Mexico is a Mexican.
La Raza is to Mecha as CAIR is to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood - a slick PR front
Excellent parallel. Thanks Ray. Keep sharing that.
Well that’s easy enough to understand.
We should just take the Baja Penninsula.
La Raza is nothing if not a Mexican Klan.
They want the western USA for Mexico.
No doubt that's just the tip of the iceberg. Progressive/statist US Gov't has a million ways to fund their causes - through education grants, implantation grants (Obamacare big on that), direct aid, pre-arranged law-suits, etc...
The stuff gets me so freakin’ mad. These groups are synonymous with groups that led to the rise of Hitler and other maniacal movements. The Thule society was begun in 1914 and soon had over 1,500 members of self confessed Luciferians who were in many prestigious positions in their societies. The same kind of lies that destroy entire generations with their lies like the Arab/ PLO Islamic propaganda about Israel and their plans for all Jewish people.
This stuff is mind poison when on is inundated to it.
I hate to admit it but I even have a acquaintance - friend through church of Mexican ancestry and when this person is sympathetic to these positions and false history after I have spoken with them about it a few times I’m selfishly telling myself that’s it, I’m done with them. It’s extremely divisive - it makes me want to say there is a line that can’t be crossed; Like bring it on and let’s get this dealt with once and for all; blood in the streets if necessary.
