I have a "native American" friend from The Nations in New Mexico. He hates the term "native Americans" because it implies some special status because they were here "first" and he's afraid that some new archaeological discovery will wipe that out, "proving" folks from New Zealand or Africa were here "first." He wants to claim his right to be here because he is part of this land and loves it and he makes it better. And he and his people (mostly) welcome anyone who does the same. He is also a member of the Minuteman project . His people are some of the most vehement about stopping illegal immigration as much of it happens on their land, which is trashed in the process, and it's the minimum wage entry level jobs that kids from their community need that are going to these guys who work off the books and for lower wages. But in his group of Minutemen are several Hispanics, some born here some who actually came here illegally. When the La Reconquista folks talk about taking back "their land" he and his friends say "bring it on, Mexican boy. We kicked your butts in the 1700s and 1800s, we'll do it again today! Don't even go there, Senor Conquistador!"
Did you know that some Hispanics and Indians in the Southwest with long memories and traditions celebrate the heroes of the Alamo and the eventual defeat of Santa Anna as a great victory for them, as well? There was never a fondness for the Mexican government (whatever flag it flew, but particularly Spanish or French) in the area that makes up our Southwest. That is a fiction of recent invention.
