“In Mexico, a recent
Zogby poll declared that the vast majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a country
saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social
development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly
treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact,
racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the
illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually
strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”
OBAMA & HIS DEPT of LA RAZA JUSTICE
These attitudes are institutionalized in the courses they
take from ethnic studies departments and in the organizations they join. This
homeland was lost to the “brutal ‘gringo’ invasion,” and the goal of the “Plan”
is the reconquest” of that lost homeland,
and restitution for that historical crime. The racist drift of all this is
apparent in the motto of MEChA: “For the Race everything, outside the Race,
nothing.” “Many universities, for example, have chapters of a group called
MEChA, the “National Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán,” the mythical land
allegedly stolen by Americans in the Mexican War. This fantasy history claims
that the whole Southwest was once Aztlán, the homeland of La Raza, the “bronze”
race, who are “the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of
Aztlán from whence came our forefathers,” as the “Plan of Aztlán” puts it.
What Obama’s Quick Illegal Immigrant Fix Ignores

America’s ward-heeler-in-chief
just bought some votes with the policy equivalent of a keg of beer and a slab
of bacon. Obama’s memorandum to Homeland Security head Napolitano to stop the
deportation of illegal aliens brought here as children and granting them work
permits bypassed Congress, that branch of government our quaint Constitution
makes responsible for such policy. Obama said so himself last year when he
reminded people that he couldn’t “change the law unilaterally” and “We have to
pass bills through the legislature and then I can sign it.” But the need to
stanch the bleeding from a week of economic bad news for his reelection
campaign has given the president Constitutional amnesia. If Obama had been
sincerely interested in crafting a legal, bipartisan, permanent solution to
this problem, he could have negotiated with Florida Republican Senator Marco
Rubio, who has crafted a more sensible solution than last year’s Dream Act, and
worked through Congress. But the need to
throw some goodies to Latino voters in several swing states critical for his
own reelection was more important than actually governing according to the
Constitution.
Obama’s accompanying
rationale for this decision, moreover, was full of unexamined assumptions and
sentiments. “These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our
neighborhoods, they’re friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our
flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way
but one: on paper,” Obama said. They “face the threat of deportation to a
country that [they] know nothing about, with a language that [they] may not
even speak.” They “for all intents and purposes, are Americans. They’ve been
raised as Americans, understand themselves to be part of this country.” All
those statements are loaded with begged questions that point to the bigger
problem we have with immigration both legal and illegal––the question of
national identity and national loyalty.
No doubt, many of these
young immigrants match Obama’s description. I’d bet that those who have served
in the military do. But many do not,
particularly the university students usually showcased by their champions. From
my years of experience as a teacher in a university about half Hispanic,
hundreds of them illegal immigrants mostly from Mexico, I know that many see
themselves as Mexican or Chicano first, and Americans second, if at all. They travel to Mexico and speak Spanish,
and have imbibed an anti-Americanism that casts them as victims of American
imperialism and racism who deserve reparations for those historical crimes.
These attitudes are institutionalized in the courses they
take from ethnic studies departments and in the organizations they join. This
homeland was lost to the “brutal ‘gringo’ invasion,” and the goal of the “Plan”
is the reconquest” of that lost
homeland, and restitution for that historical crime. The racist drift of all
this is apparent in the motto of MEChA: “For the Race everything, outside the
Race, nothing.” “Many universities, for example, have chapters of a group
called MEChA, the “National Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán,” the mythical
land allegedly stolen by Americans in the Mexican War. This fantasy history
claims that the whole Southwest was once Aztlán, the homeland of La Raza, the
“bronze” race, who are “the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern
land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers,” as the “Plan of Aztlán” puts
it.
Obviously, MEChA scorns
assimilation to American culture and identity, promoting instead a Mexican
identity called “Chicanismo,” which “involves a personal decision to reject
assimilation and work towards the preservation of our cultural heritage” and
the recovery of a “bronze culture for a bronze people.” Thus MEChA “is
committed to ending the cultural tyranny suffered at the hands of institutional
and systematic discrimination that holds our Gente [people] captive.” If you
need further evidence that this ideology is hostile to American culture and
identity, consider a poem published at California State University Fresno in La
Voz de Aztlán, a state-subsidized campus newspaper that functions as
MEChA’s house organ: “America the land robbed by the white savage / the land of
the biggest genocide / the home of intolerance / the place where dreams come to
die / the place of greed and slavery,” and so on for another two dozen lines.
Clearly, students who
accept such an ideology are hardly going to be “Americans in their heart, in
their minds, in every single way,” as the president claimed. Rather, they will
identify themselves as victims of America from which they feel alienated. They
will not believe, like earlier immigrants, that living in America allows them
to improve their lives by enjoying the freedom and economic opportunity
unavailable to them in their ancestral country. Rather, they will think that
they are owed reparations from the country that unjustly stole a region of
their true homeland. As the Chicano activist slogan goes, “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.” This
historical lie justifies ignoring the responsibilities immigrants to the United
States traditionally have accepted, which is to assimilate to the country they
live in by accepting its language, traditions, and political principles. With
the mythic history of unjust displacement, however, the burden is now on the
mainstream culture to adapt to and accommodate the culture of those it
allegedly oppressed and robbed of their land. The
dominant culture must expiate its historical crimes with various sorts of
reparations and entitlements, particularly special consideration for illegal
aliens like free tuition in public universities, drivers licenses, welfare and
health care, or quasi-amnesties such as the Dream Act.
Such a legitimization of
illegal aliens thus is merely part of what the “Plan of Aztlán” calls
“restitution”: “Restitution for past economic slavery, political exploitation,
ethnic and cultural psychological destruction and denial of civil and human
rights.” A “reconquest” impossible by force will be achieved through demography
and the abandonment of the old model of assimilation, in an attempt to make
California more like the culture illegal aliens risk their lives to leave, and
less like the America that has given them greater freedom and opportunity.
We should not simply
assume, then, as the president and other supporters of amnesty do, that people
here illegally consider themselves Americans and give America their loyalty
just because they were brought here as children. No doubt many do, but how do
we know? We need to figure out a way to vet all immigrants to this
country to ensure that we give the privilege of citizenship only to those who
will not subordinate being an American to being something else. Given how
thoroughly multicultural identity politics, predicated on American crime and
oppression, permeates schools, popular culture, and government programs, merely
living the bulk of one’s life here is no guarantee of American identity.
Determining whether or not immigrants, including those brought here as
children, truly understand and accept the core principles and values of our
political order is the most serious challenge we face in dealing with 11
million illegal immigrants.
Obama’s quick-fix may win
him some votes, but it does nothing to make sure residence in the country is
reserved only for those immigrants who understand why America is exceptional,
feel blessed to live here, and are proud to be Americans.

MEXICAN FASCISM IS ALIVE AND PROSPERING IN ARIZONA. IT NOW IS WORKING TO GET ILLEGALS REGISTERED TO VOTE FOR OBAMA!
LA RAZA FASCISM IN ARIZONA:
“He has helped hundreds of former
gang members gain long-term employment.”
PUBLISHED IN THE PHOENIX CIVIL RIGHTS EXAMINER
Pablo Cruz named president of Nuestros Reconquistos
Miguel Perez, Phoenix Civil Rights Examiner
November 25, 2011
Phoenix civil rights activist Pablo
Cruz is replacing Manuel Longoria as the President of Nuestros Reconquistos,
one of Arizona's most prominent civil rights groups. Manuel Longoria has
accepted a prominent position for the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
Pablo Cruz is a former gang member and an undocumented immigrant who
has gone on to represent several other former gang members in trying to make
their lives better. He has helped hundreds of former gang members gain
long-term employment. "I don't care who you are--everybody deserves a
second chance," Cruz claims.
As the President of Nuestros Reconquistos, Pablo Cruz plans to help
Latinos claim back the Southwest as part of the Latino homeland of Aztlán.
"The movement to reclaim land stolen from Mexico is almost complete. Latinos
will soon be able to live, work, and dream in a land where no other race is
allowed."
Pablo Cruz will speak to Latino
groups tomorrow morning at the Phoenix Public Library. He is expected to announce plans to help Barack Obama's re-election
campaign.

Judicial Watch Exposes Mexican Separatist School
Academia is funded by the Mexican
reconquista organization “National Council of La Raza.” Moreover, Aguilar
previously served as a leader of M.E.Ch.A., a radical student-run Chicano
organization, while attending UCLA. According to M.E.Ch.A.’s official statement
of principles, “Aztlan (the American southwest) belongs to indigenous people,
who are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture¼We are a union of free pueblos
forming a bronze Nation.” ·
Judicial Watch Exposes Mexican
Separatist School Is Academia Semillas del Pueblo Training the Next Generation
of Mexican Revolutionaries?
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/city/carrollton/stories/100706dnteximmigrationcops.32285f9.html
Judicial Watch,
the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes corruption, today
announced the release of a special report, Academia Semillas del Pueblo (Seeds
of the People Academy): Training the Next Generation of Mexican Revolutionaries
with American Tax Dollars. Judicial Watch’s report includes excerpts of new
documents obtained by Judicial Watch through the California Public Records Act
that highlight the school’s radical agenda. According to the report’s
introduction: “Academia Semillas del Pueblo is not much more than a training
ground for the Mexican reconquista movement, which seeks to conquer the
American Southwest – by force or by ballot box – and return it to Mexico.”
Among the highlights of Judicial Watch’s special report: · Academia is led by
Mexican revolutionary radical Marcos Aguilar, who recently told an interviewer
with UCLA’s Teaching to change L.A.: “We don’t necessarily want to go to White
schools¼the White way, the American way, the
neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own
destruction.” · Academia offers an 8th grade United States history and
geography class entitled, “A People’s history of Expansion and Conflict – A
thematic survey of American politics, society, culture and political economy;
Emphasis throughout on the nations the U.S. usurped, invaded and dominated;
Connections between historical rise of capitalism and imperialism with modern
political economy and global social relations.” · Academia is funded by the Mexican reconquista organization
“National Council of La Raza.” Moreover, Aguilar previously served as a leader
of M.E.Ch.A., a radical student-run Chicano organization, while attending UCLA.
According to M.E.Ch.A.’s official statement of principles, “Aztlan (the
American southwest) belongs to indigenous people, who are sovereign and not
subject to a foreign culture¼We are a union of free pueblos forming a bronze Nation.” · According to Academia’s original charter application, the school targets
“communities [that] are highly self-identified as Latino.” English instruction
for Academia’s students does not begin until the fourth grade. “Marcos
Aguilar’s school seems to be brainwashing school children with Mexican
separatist, anti-American, Marxist propaganda, and getting American taxpayers
to pay for it,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “How could the Los Angeles Unified School District agree to fund this
sham of a school with tax dollars?”
