Don't make too much of it. It's been going on for at least 30 years. They're very proud of where they came from and identify with that state in Mexico like Texans did 50 odd years ago. The more significant thing is that they have a US flag sticker, etc. which I see quite often.

Its different now. Thirty years of Mechistas and brown berets and barrios unidos (funded by the american tax payer of course) has radicalized much of the hispanic population in california.Add to that the pandering to the group with all the freebies, and you get a very entitled class of people who are just now starting to exercise the advanced training in organizing they have gotten from their communist mentors like Dolores Huerta.
