I would guess that this article is from the ultra-rascist "La Reconquista" lefists that Buchanan is talking about. They refer to California and the southwest as Aztlan, an area they falsely claim to be the rightful owners of. I am not a big fan of Buchanan and think his book is a joke, but I would not hesitate to arrest these people immediately for treason.

A big problem the Mexicans had is that prior to the white Americans migrating to the southwest, the Comanche's routinely raided into Mexico, plundering, killing and taking slaves (yes, that's right). The Mexicans were unable to deal with the problem. Only when the Texicanos (gingos in Texas) arrived, and dealt with the Comanche's in two generations was the Mexican's problem solved, giving rise to a new problem: wounded sense of "machismo".
