Ruben Navarrette blasts Pat Buchanan for playing the race card in the national debate about illegal immigration ("Buchanan hinders illegal immigration discourse," Sept. 28th).

"Now Buchanan is warning us that excessive immigration is wrecking the United States," he writes. "It's not just those who come here illegally that worry him." He also wants to limit legal immigration, especially from Mexico.

Navarrette dismisses Buchanan's claim that Mexican government wants to reclaim the American Southwest, which was lost in the Mexican War of 1846-48.

Can Ruben Navarrette deny a 1997 proclamation by Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, who stated, "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders" (National Council of La Raza; July 23, 1997)?

Can Navarrette dismiss a claim by Mario Obledo, co-founder of the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), that "California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. We are going to take over all of the political institutions in California" (KIEV Radio; June 16, 199?

Can he refute a statement by Mexican Consul-General Jose Angel

Pescador Osuna, who summed up a not-so-secret agenda: "We are practicing la Reconquista in California" (Southwestern University School of Law; Feb. 6, 199.
And what does Ruben Navarrette have to say about MECHA, the Chicano student group that has chapters on most high school and college campuses (including Pasadena City College) and makes no secret of its goal to return California to Mexico?
