After "Solo Espanol" their first new laws are for "land reform," confiscatory taxes on any properties over 1,000 acres.

Some might say that revenge is sweet. The Americans used the same tactics in the late 1800's following acquistion of the NM territory from Mexico. Quite a few Hispanic landowners lost their homes to confiscatory taxes levied by the Americans. Some ended up in private hands, some in federal government hands, I believe (forest service, etc.). It was wrong then and would be wrong now, but that wouldn't stop radical Hispanic politicos from trying it in the 21st century.

It sounds like there are the seeds here for a decent "Kosovo" style war, or at least a novel.
