1) We are the White People of The American SouthWest reclaiming the land of out birth (Caucasian Nation)
2) The American Southwest belongs to its residents, who are sovereign and not subject to the American Government
3) We are a union of free cities forming a white nation
4) White nationalism, as the key in mobilization and organization, is the common denominator to bring consensus to the White Movement.
5) Cultural values strengthen our identity as The Family of the Caucasian Race
6) EPEDA, as a basic plan of White liberation, sought the formation of an independent national political party that would represent the sentiments of the White community.
Well, this is the basic foundation of MECHa as outlined on the UCSB (University of California - Santa Barbara) website – except I have substituted the word white or Caucasian for Chicano.

M.E.Ch.A’s Philosophy (Excerpted)
The Chicana/Chicano sutdent movement has been plagued by opportunists that have sought to rechannel the energies of our people and divert us from our struggle for self determination. The educational plight of Chicana and Chicano students continues to be ignored by insensitive administrators. Overall, Chicana/Chicano junior high, high school and college pushout rates have risen since1969, forcing many Chicanas and Chicanos to a life of poverty. These factors along with a growing right wing trend in the nation are combining to work greater hardships on Chicanas and Chicanos. New repressive and racist immigration laws are continuously directed at our Gente. Along with this, the current administration has started the process of dismantling Affirmative Action and Civil Rights protections. (Bold enhancement added by me)
