I like it. :^) Were it not for some other things going on, I would dismiss these these people as lunatic fringers myself.

I don't know any Latinos personally who want to turn the southwest U.S. into northern Mexico or "Aztlan", and I know more than a few, but that doesn't mean the issue is moot.

If the Aztlan movement, of which MEChA is a part, but by no means the whole, is nothing more than a tempest in a teapot, fine. The Anarchist movement is also in no danger of becoming popular, yet these people hijack demonstrations and commit significant property crimes around the world. Some people forget that a century ago, Anarchists planted bombs, too,

But it intrigues me that certain FReepers seem to think that even looking into this warrants puerile and obnoxious obstruction.

What the bloody hell? Since when is investigating shady political groups a crime on FR?

Is anyone willing to explain this opposition intelligently?

There are worse things out there to spend time and treasure chasing down. ELF comes to mind. So do the Anarchists. They are known to engage in criminal activities.

On the other hand, it was widely publicized that a poll (Zogby Int'l?) taken in Mexico earlier this year indicated that 58% believe the southwestern US rightfully belongs to Mexico.

Unless one believes only those who respect the territorial integrity of the US are immigrating northward I suspect this indicates we have a problem larger than some would have us believe.

His stance is the same as mine, yet I got a long-winded troll hit piece...nice standards, Imal.
