reconquista: Page 1
Discussed in (click each link for the full post):
Piers Morgan is incapable of discrediting even John Leguizamo's absurd immigration ideas (CNN, Ice Age: Continental Drift) - 07/13/12
... friend. See also Barack Obama's Reconquista 101 and the entries on the Robert Erickson, reconquista, and liberal racism pages.
The goal here wasn't to show how an airhead comic is wrong, it's to point out just how weak CNN is. Morgan could have easily raised some of the points above, but either wasn't able or wasn't willing. Instead, he said nothing against Leguizamo's absurd statements (...
Will California declare state-level immigration amnesty? (Opportunity and Prosperity Act, illegal aliens) - 12/03/11
No, California won't be declaring its own, state-level amnesty for illegal aliens. While Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes and others are trying to put an initiative on the ballot ("California Opportunity and Prosperity Act") that would attempt to declare such an amnesty (link), such an initiative has nearly zero chance of passing.
Some notes:
1. Fuentes' plan would be an initiative. That means that he...
Jorge Ramos: most Californians support Mexico over U.S. in soccer; US is "latinizing" - 06/26/11
... replied to Ramos even referenced reconquista [3].
As for what you can do about this, see how to reduce illegal immigration. And, when an American politician is going to be interviewed by Ramos (see his name's link above), suggest they talk to him about that "latinization". In English.

Obama flames reconquista at Hispanic Caucus, gets history, Declaration of Independence wrong - 09/19/10
... nowhere else, Barack Obama flamed reconquista sentiments. Speaking at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus event recently he did it again. He also got history wrong and left "by their Creator" out of the Declaration of Independence.
On the video at peekURL.com/vrbi8hy Obama says:
...long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. From British to French, to Dutch...

Liberals cheer racism, repudiation of U.S. sovereignty at tea party protest by Nick Espinosa (Daniel Tencer) - 11/16/09
Daniel Tencer of RawStory offers "Tea partiers punk’d into supporting removal of white people from US" (rawstory.com/2009/11/tea-partiers-punked-white-people video at peekURL.com/v5h3vrp). Both the underlying story and his treatment of it are explicitly anti-American:
A speaker at an anti-immigration rally in Minneapolis this past weekend got the crowd to support more than just the deportation of...
Creeping condominium: L.A. Mexican consulate working with governments, non-profits (Anna Gorman) - 07/23/09
... that's just a conspiracy theory ("reconquista"), but there are currently border areas and the like that are under shared control between other countries. And, there doesn't have to be an actual conspiracy, all things have to do is proceed as they are now.
With that in mind, Anna Gorman of the Los Angeles Times offers "Mexican Consulate in L.A. takes proactive role in guiding immigrants to social...
DHS "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" includes wider range of groups - 05/01/09
... the end.
They give a hat tip to reconquista extremists in "Mexican separatism":
A movement of groups or individuals of Mexican descent who advocate the secession of southwestern U.S. states (all or part of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas) to join with Mexico through armed struggle. Members do not recognize the legitimacy of these U.S. states, including the U.S. Government’s original...
Fmr CO state Sen. Polly Baca tells American: "Go back to Europe" - 04/08/09
Polly Baca is a former Colorado state senator and a supporter of illegal immigration who is/was linked into the Western Union gravy train and who served as the spokeswoman for a pro-illegal immigration group headed by Federico Pena.
After Chris Romer's recent attempt to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens failed, she posted about it on her Facebook page. Subsequently, an Air Force veteran...
Barack Obama's Reconquista 101: "they didn't cross the border, the border crossed them", Indians aren't immigrants - 08/18/08
... his quotes are straight out of Reconquista 101, and trying to find loopholes in and complaining about the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is a favorite pasttime of hundreds of minor extremists, with the TGH forming a major part of their lore. Sentiments like his are rarely expressed by those considered mainstream; the closest I'm aware of are Dolores Huerta and a LULAC official, and both of them...
Judy Bachrach/Vanity Fair smears Lou Dobbs - 08/08/08
Freelance writer and Vanity Fair contributor Judy Bachrach offers a smear of Lou Dobbs in "Lou Doubts" (poder360.com/article_detail.php?id_article=549). It's yet another example of the illegal activity-supporting establishment trying to reduce his influence in order to profit from illegal activity in one way or another.
It's not clear whether the article already appeared in VF, whether it will...
Meet Fabian Nunez, Hillary Clinton's campaign co-chair - 05/12/07
On this uninteresting April 30 video (youtube.com/watch?v=kUvnyf8qzk8), you can see Hillary Clinton introduced by California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, one of her campaign's co-chairs.
Meanwhile, back in the 90's, Nunez was just a bit more radical than that video might suggest. On this video (youtube.com/watch?v=FgbCB8QlQWw) from an anti-Proposition 187 rally in Los Angeles:
Fabian Nunez is...
Democratic Texas/Mexico/Aztlan flyer confirmed? - 10/21/06
I'm sure you all remember this classic:
That flyer - showing Texas and Mexico rejoined - was supposedly passed out at the April 9, 2006 illegal immigration march in Dallas. At the time, I wondered whether it was a real poster or a fake.
Now, someone has sent an email to one Sarah from dallasdemocrats.org and says they've received the following reply:
"Yes it is likely one that we produced. I can...
Peter Bagge is an idiot (Reason Magazine open borders cartoon) - 10/12/06
... believe how much traction this "Reconquista" conspiracy theory gets, given that only a handful of lunatics with incoherent websites are advocating it [picture is of sweating blogger viewing aztlan.net-style website] Why would any Mexican immigrant want the place he just moved to become [sic] part of the economic basketcase he just fled from?
Several prominent Mexican-"American" politicians are...
Bush uncovered: he doesn't know what country he runs - 04/04/06
The Los Angeles Times' offers a four(!)-screener from Peter Wallsten entitled "Immigrant Issues Are Personal for Bush" (link).
I believe the best way to characterize it is as a lame attempt to further divide Bush from his base. The subtext of the article is that the latter are opposed to illegal immigration because - quite unlike Bush - they're opposed to Hispanics or Mexicans.
The article...
Could Paris happen here? - 11/17/05
Mark Krikorian offers "L'Intifada en Los Estados Unidos" (link), which discusses a few points previously made here:
1. The guest/temporary worker schemes will result in millions of people coming here to stay.
2. Those millions - mostly from Mexico - will give that country even more power over us than they already have.
3. If we tried to kick them out, it would result in civil unrest similar to...
At least it's not "Alta California" - 04/25/05
WND has a picture of a billboard for Los Angeles TV station KRCA (62 UHF). The billboard contains the words "Los Angeles, CA". Except, the "CA" part has been crossed out and replaced with the word "MEXICO." And, a Mexican monument has been superimposed on the L.A. skyline.
The subtitle of the ad reads: "Your City. Your Team." Now, in the normal context of a local TV news broadcast that would be a...
"They were here first" - 11/21/02
[UPDATE: The link doesn't work anymore, here's an archive, full quote below.]
KCET's Life & Times did a report a while back featuring California State Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, who created a bill to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens. "For public safety." Yeah, right.
In the piece, Cedillo uttered the line "they were here first." I've always wondered exactly how to parse that sentence....
