Actually most Mexicans are mostly of Indian decent with some European blood. The elite are mostly European and discriminate against those who are mostly Indian. However that doesn't ligitimize taking over Utah or the South West because they came from there. That is long past and they moved to Mexico of their own chosing before white men set foot on these shores. Not that it should make any differance either.

As I responded to another, I have some level of Cherokee blood. For me to declare myself a special race ("La Raza") and demand restoration of my northern Georgia homeland would be silly. The claim for "Aztlan" is similar.

Actually Mexicans are mostly a mix of Maya and Spanish (or other European) blood, a scant few may have a drop of Aztec blood, if that.
Neither Maya or Aztec are idigenous to the lands comprising the U.S.A, neither Maya or Aztec are U.S. tribes, but are rather tribes of Mexico and Central American countries.
Mexicans have no indigenous "claim" to any U.S. lands.

Isn't it interesting that the maps all these "reconquestas" are using are maps which were drawn up to indicate lands "explored" by the Spaniards who invaded this continent from Europe? Those maps have absolutely NOTHING to do with the aztec in any way shape or form. the Spanish were not Aztec.

All of this B.S. is basically a pipe dream of Mexican immigrants to justify the breaking of U.S. immigration laws. Just wishing something were true does not make it truth. Just saying something is true does not make it truth. No amount of wishful thinking on the part of Mexicans is going to alter the fact that the lands they "wish for" were originally the lands of the U.S. tribes.
