One leader of the Aztlan idea, Armando Navarro, has ominously said "Power is not given, it's taken."
The rhetoric these people use is decidely foreceful. They're jubilant with census numbers showing an invasion of Mexicans into California. They actively plan and hope for a day when the strength of their numbers will allow them to elect de facto a U.S. Senator or Representative for the Mexican people living in the U.S.

Thanks, read it. Of course, the key point, to me at least, is that Armando Navarro is a professor at Cal State Sacramento. In other words, another leftist US academic.
These guys are hate America, and are determined to create enmity where there isn't any.
And, of course, I noted that the article was from Granma, the Cuban news service. Mr. Navarro takes time in the article to praise the Cuban regime.
The guys who are promoting the idea that Mexico still has a legitimate claim to the SW US, such as Armando Navarro, do not represent any serious point of view in either the US or Mexico. Therefor, at one level, to treat those guys as if they were worthy of attention is mistaken.
At the same time, as you notice, these guys are truly evil. If they were serious, then what? Violence? Insurgency? War?
This is one of the several things about the Left that is so evil. They promote ideas that are not serious; anyone who acts upon those ideas brings death and destruction upon themselves and to their victims. In fact, anyone who buys into the victimology winds up stewing in misery, and throwing their lives away for nothing.
As I mentioned earlier, Navarro is a US academic, a leftist professor. He gets paid taxpayer dollars to fill young minds with this bilge.
So they're the "useful idiots" of the Reconquistas. That doesn't change the fact that those who illegally enter our country are criminals right off the bat, and from there they're a drain on our resources. I don't care how bad someone's life is in Mexico, if they want into our nation, they'd doggone well better follow the rules we've laid down to do it. After all, I want to improve my life, but I'm not gonna break into peoples' homes and rip them off in order to do it.
Though I don't buy into the "we're a nation of immigrants" crap (heck, I was born here, as were my family for several generations back, my girlfriend's family for several generations back, etc.), I don't mind folks legally immigrating. If a Mexican family wants to come here legally, learn the language, be productive, pay taxes, assimilate into our culture, and become citizens of the United States of America, I'll welcome them with open arms.
