CHARLES TRUXILLO TRUCKS FOR AZTLAN

By Michael A. Minton

Maybe it’s me, but some things in this world just don’t make sense. Actually, it’s more like things in this country don’t make sense. I can understand why things around the world don’t make sense, I don’t live there, and it’s not part of my culture. But, I HAVE lived here for thirty-something years now, and I still can’t understand why we are so lazy when it comes to finding out information.

PEOPLE! We can’t rely on the mainstream media to tell us what is important! Let’s face it, most of the media are liberal-biased at best. We have GOT to learn for ourselves. One of the most recent examples of this type of media-neglect is the Totalization proposal with Mexico that President Bush sprung on us in his recent “guest-worker” plan. How many of us knew that representatives from the Social Security Administration had been meeting with Mexican officials since at least 2001 working on such a plan?

In an article I recently wrote on this subject (Totalization Agreement With Mexico Draws Heavy Criticism, Talon News, January 15, 2004), I cite the fact that the Commissioner of the SSA, Jo Anne Barnhart, admitted that the Administration had been talking with Mexico for a couple of years about a totalization plan. Who bothered to tell the American public? President Bush – just recently!!

Another example of the dangers of this lack of knowledge is the whole concept of Aztlan. Many Mexicans feel that they were unfairly pushed out of their land with the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This treaty ended the Mexican-American War, granting America parts of what is now present-day California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. In return, the U.S. paid Mexico millions of dollars in compensation.

For the past 30-40 years there has been a movement afoot to flood the Southwest U.S. with Hispanics in order to gain more political, cultural and social clout. The eventual goal here is to regain what are rightfully now states belonging to the United States of America. Yet, many Americans unwittingly, and sometimes with full knowledge, readily advocate the massive influx of both legal and illegal Mexican immigrants.

Charles Truxillo, professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of New Mexico, predicts that it is inevitable that this mythical Aztlan will be created, adding that the capital would most likely be Los Angeles. He further advocates that this should be accomplished, “by any means possible.”

He does admit, however, that Mexico lacks the military capability to make this happen, so he surmises that Aztlan will be brought about by political pressure from what will inevitably be a majority of the Hispanic population if immigration is not brought under control.

Now, this next part should be enough to make any American mad enough to revolt. In an interview with the Albuquerque Tribune, Professor Truxillo, an instructor at an American Institution of Higher Learning, funded by tax dollars collected from the sweat and hard work of American citizens, who are here LEGALLY, claims that it is his “task to help develop a ‘cadre of intellectuals’ to begin thinking about the practicalities of how the Republic of the North (a name he sees as befitting this new Aztlan) can become a reality.”

This is not just some “whacko conspiracy theory,” either. This “plan” reaches well up into the Mexican government. On July 28, 2002, Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, the PRESIDENT of the Mexican Senate, told the daily newspaper, Reforma, “I support all the projects that my party is undertaking for the benefit of Mexicans abroad, including the network of MILITANTS IN THE UNITED STATES (emphasis added). He also said that his political party, PAN, (which also happens to be the party of Mexican President Fox), keeps close contacts with Mexicans abroad, and that “the network of militants is not against the law.”

Consider the following: In 1997, then Mexican president Zedillo “proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.” And current Mexican President Vicente Fox has made big-time demands of the U.S. since before he even took office. He has called for open borders, free health care, in-state tuition programs at state colleges and universities, all for illegal aliens (at tax-payers’ expense), and a general amnesty for all.

The brazen forthrightness of some “pro-Aztlan” advocates is uncanny. The founder of the Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund said that, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave. Every Constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.” He suggested that whoever doesn’t like that “should go back to Europe.”

Now, don’t get me wrong here; I don’t blame the Hispanic population. All is fair in love and war. I place the blame for the loss of American sovereignty squarely on the shoulders of American citizens. We are the ones who are allowing our corrupted politicians to give away our country.

We are NOT insisting that the federal government secure our borders, detain and deport illegal aliens. In places like Los Angeles, city employees INCLUDING POLICE are actually PROHIBITED from reporting immigration violations to Federal authorities.

It’s time to fish or cut bait. We either bring our political leaders to bear, or accept the fact that we should all learn Spanish. and erase any borders which define the United States of America.
