Thread: Refresher on MEChA

The call of "racism" by the MEChA opponents of the Arizona immigration enforcement law is, in my opinion, nothing but a diversion tactic as many , such as Congressman Raul Grijalva were members of MEChA.

He was also active in MEChA, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, the student group that called the Southwest “Aztlan,” the spiritual home of the Chicano people. The acronym, the Spanish word for “fuse,” was evocative of the group’s confrontational, nationalist ideology, which took its sharpest formulation in the group’s motto: “Por la raza todo, fuera de la raza nada’’ — “For the race, everything, outside the race, nothing.”
