The Scourge of..........
Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan
"Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada."
"Everything for the race. Everything outside the race, nothing."

This
is what the MEChA Constitution says (Article
II, section 1):
|
"General
membership shall consist of any student who accepts, believes and works for
the goals and objectives of MEChA, including
the liberation of AZTLAN, meaning self-determination of our people in this
occupied state and the physical liberation of our land."
|
|
From "El Plan de Aztlan": In the spirit of a new people that is
conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal
"gringo"
invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano
inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlan
from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating
the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our
blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny.

From the Hoover
Institute
...Thus Rodolfo
Acuńa's
Occupied America claims the Southwest for Mexicans. Chicano activists (Chicanismo) push not only for civil rights for illegal
Mexicans but also for the return (reconquista) of
the lost provinces to form Aztlán. Chicanismo demands Spanish language and culture
education, not English or American cultural schooling. The Movimiento Estudiante Chicano
de Aztlán (MECHA) in 1970 formed a political
party, La
Raza Unida, won
control of Crystal City, Texas, and tried to make it into a Chicano city.
The party split and has had little political impact since but could easily
revive in California or Texas.

Arizona's
Pimentel chimes in on Seńor Busta-MEChA
...They've had their eyes fixed on [Bustamante's] membership in what they, with more
than just a tad of nativist paranoia, view as a
radical, racist separatist organization, MEChA.
Far from being an instrument for the Mexican reconquest
of the Southwest, MEChA is really just about
developing student leaders who then become community leaders.

Bustamante Faces Black Critics
...Another issue following [Cruz] Bustamante is his association with the group MEChA. MEChA favors annexing
the southwestern United States, including Texas and California, to Mexico. -- With more than several hundred chapters
nationwide, MEChA goes against everything that Bustamante says he stands for. It's an exclusive
organization teaching its members hatred against all other ethnic groups.

Leading
Recall Journalist Muzzled
Sacramento Bee columnist Daniel Weintraub is the proprietor of an excellent weblog covering the California recall called the California Insider. On Sunday
the editorial board of the Bee smacked Weintraub
because he drew the ire of the Legislature's (Democrat) Latino Caucus with
one of his entries from September 1st referring to recall candidate Cruz Bustamante's ties to MEChA.

Racist
Gubernatorial Candidate (MEChA-boy Cruz Bustamante)
...Were MEChA's
goal to be realized, Aztlan would become the
exclusive domain of what it calls "La Raza"
- "the race," meaning those of Mexican descent. Miguel Perez of
Cal State-Northridge's MEChA chapter has
explained: "The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to it]." Once Aztlan is established, continued Perez, ethnic
cleansing would commence... [More on

What
came first - MEChA or Cruz Bustamante?
...This issue was brought to a head
recently when the notoriously right-wing Fox news program "The
O'Reilly Factor" viciously attacked MEChA
and denounced Cruz Bustamante for his former participation in this
student group. Immediately the anti-MEChA/anti-Bustamante
attacks were intensified with massive coverage through other news programs,
newspapers, and via the Internet.

Bustamante negatives on the grow
Among the more interesting findings
from the latest polls on the Oct. 7 recall election is Cruz Bustamante's
"unfavorable" rating. --- Some local Democrats are divided on the
question of why. -- Was it the flap over his one-time membership in MEChA, the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan?

Move
underway to make MEChA look like a sewing circle
...If we are to believe the critics,
MEChA members are plotting a takeover of the U.S.
Southwest, territory that MEChA literature refers
to as the Nation of Aztlán, and that nothing
would please them more than to drive Anglos out. --- "It's bizarre to
assume this is some kind of radical group seeking to overthrow part of the United States," Mike Madrid told the San Francisco
Chronicle. [Gee, that's
what the Mechistas themselves say.] [Also see this item]

It shouldn't surprise anyone who
reads this column that I was active in the again-controversial Latino
student group MEChA during my college days. -- MEChA is an esoteric Spanish acronym that translates as
Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan. That final
word refers to an ancient legend that places an Aztec homeland somewhere in
the north....

Not all MEChA activities at Fresno State have been peaceful
Politics swirling around Lt.
Gov. Cruz Bustamante's appearance on recall
ballots have leapt back three decades to the Fresno State campus and its Hispanic MEChA club in
the turbulent 1970s. -- Bustamante critics say
his MEChA membership while a student at Fresno State should disqualify him from the governorship. One Web site equates MEChA... with the Ku Klux Klan and Nazis.

groups, particularly the Sherman Oaks, Calif.-based American Patrol, have
sought to make [Cruz] Bustamante's membership
