And I do
mean reconquer. Let's not forget, there were many indigenous
peoples - not just Aztecs, not just Mexicans, which also
lived in the Southwest before it was part of the Mexican
Empire.
Still, is there really -
aside from some
radicals - a movement to reclaim the Southwest?
According to a new book by
ultraconservative, Patrick Buchanan, State of Emergency,
claims "a conscious campaign to use America as a dumping
ground for its poor and unemployed, both to relieve social
pressure and effect a cultural re-annexation of the American
Southwest. La Reconquista, the reconquest of the lands lost by
Mexico in the Mexican-American War, Buchanan charges, is
underway." (more)
What do you think,
conservative propaganda or the new reality?
