Although this first article was written in 2006, the truths it heralds have not changed, and the information and warnings are as relevant today as they were in 2006. This article was originally published in the Harvard Law Record - "Harvard Law School's Independent Newspaper". RightSideNews.com seriously doubts that the Harvard Law Record would consider publishing this article today, given the trend over the intervening years of further shifts to the left of this ivy league bastion of liberal education.

President Bush and Congressional leaders of both parties are determined to achieve defacto amnesty in 2006 for millions of illegal migrants. Why should Americans concerned with racial harmony and national unity take a close look at the social and political impacts of massive Mexican immigration?

Professor Samuel P. Huntington, chairman of Harvard University's Academy for International and Area Studies, warned in 2004: "Demographically, socially, and culturally, the reconquista (re-conquest) of the Southwest United States by Mexican immigrants is well underway.... No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican Americans can and do make that claim." Huntington also said that "Mexican immigration differs from past immigration and most other contemporary immigration due to a combination of six factors: contiguity, scale, illegality, regional concentration [in the American Southwest], persistence, and historical presence."

In May, 2005, the BBC reported: "The Latinization of California is nothing short of a revolution. California will become a predominantly Spanish-speaking state within the next few years. And, as the majority population, there is really no need, or incentive, for them to assimilate into mainstream American society as their predecessors have always done. Whether Latinos then decide to push for greater autonomy or to seek a political agenda of their own with closer ties to Mexico and Central America is very much up for grabs." In 2001, the pro-immigration New California Media reported that Mexico "continues to mourn the loss of half of its territory to the U.S. in the 19th Century."

Mexico is pushing hard for amnesty and various benefits for millions of illegal Mexican migrants. Once naturalized, amnestied migrants could add tens of millions of people and future voters to the U.S. through births here and through immigration of extended families. U.S.-born children, even of illegal immigrants and guest workers, are American citizens and could vote at 18. Furthermore, in 2001 Ernesto Ruffo Appel, then-border czar of Mexico, reportedly advised Mexican migrants: "If the border patrol agent finds you, try again." In 2004, the Mexican government published a guide with safety tips for Mexicans who want to illegally cross the U.S. border.

According to the 2000 Census, the U.S. population had increased by about 13% from 1990, but those who identified themselves as Mexican had increased by 53%. In 1997, Ernest Zedillo, then-President of Mexico, declared in Chicago that "the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important - a very important - part of it." Is Mexico using legal as well as illegal migration to extend the Mexican nation?

To quickly expand the Hispanic electorate, activists across the country have campaigned to secure the right to vote for non-citizens and actively register voters. MEChA, an acronym for a Chicano student organization with chapters on many U.S. college campuses, has actively recruited Mexican-American voters. MEChA's founding constitution called for the "liberation of our land." It has had prominent political leaders among its members, including current Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who headed MEChA's chapter in Los Angeles when he was a student at UCLA; Cruz Bustamente, the lieutenant governor of California; and California State Senator Gil Cedillo, who has pushed legislation to grant driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

The Mexican government and many Mexican American leaders have lobbied in tandem very effectively. For example, after California's voters approved Proposition 187, the 1994 ballot measure that would have denied public benefits to illegal immigrants, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund and other pro-illegal groups sued to overturn it. Parts of the initiative were ruled unconstitutional in a federal district court and the measure was taken up on appeal. Before the appeal could be heard, Mexican President Zedillo paid a visit to California Governor Gray Davis.

Subsequently, Davis decided to settle the case "out of court" through mediation. But only the opponents of Prop 187 were invited to take part and the measure was shelved. Antonio Villaraigosa publicly thanked the Mexican president for his help in killing Prop 187.

Many Mexican-American are patriotic. But many newcomers and their U.S.-born children can be mobilized by Mexico to vote according to Mexico's interests. U.S.-born Juan Hernandez, then a member of current Mexico President Vicente Fox's cabinet, has stated: "We are betting that the Mexican-American population in the United States...will think Mexico first." Indeed, many American citizens of Mexican descent have run for political offices in Mexico: Manuel de la Cruz wanted to make the U.S. a Mexican electoral district when he ran for Mexico's Congress.

Americans who doubt the U.S. Southwest might someday secede should heed Charles Truxillo, a Mexican-American professor at the University of New Mexico. Truxillo noted that the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia also seemed far-fetched 50 years ago. "Throughout history, nations and empires rise and fall," Truxillo warned. "No nation's borders have been permanent."

We need to kick Washington out of the country and take care of the border ourselves. It is the only way.

Throughout history, nations and empires rise and fall," Truxillo warned. "No nation's borders have been permanent."

Yeah...especially when you have no border....

That is bad stuff, I don't like.

Because no one tells Mexican-Americans, that they're being lied to, and used by this gov. and the mexican gov. And I already know it's gonna take every real American we have to stop "THE COMMUNIST PARTY"

Wake up america.........

On a side but relevant note, I was checking out my calendar this morning and discovered something interesting. Unbeknownst to me, October 12th was dia de la raza in mexico.

No wonder these people refuse to assimilate. Their own government tells them they are the chosen race.

This is pretty much justice for California. But for years a small manoity has been screaming and telling the rest of us that the illegal immigrants are taking over the state. We did nothing. It wasn't in our back yard, so it didn't matter. We were stationed in El Paso in the early 80's. I saw it and it was scary. Gangs almost killed my youngest son on his 16th birthday. I've been fighting for all of our states since. Now it's all over our country. And we better figure out what to do and fast. Americans need to run this country, not the politicians and all the libs in Washington.

Mexican federal and state government assistance
The US Department of Homeland Security and some advocacy groups have criticized a program of the government of the state of Yucatan and that of a federal Mexican agency directed to Mexicans migrating to and residing in the United States. They claim that the assistance includes advice on how to get across the U.S. border illegally, where to find healthcare, enroll their children in public schools, and send money to Mexico. The Mexican federal government also issues identity cards to Mexicans living outside of Mexico.[46][47]

In 2005 the government of Yucatan produced a handbook and DVD about the risks and implications of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The guide told immigrants where to find health care, how to get their kids into U.S. schools, and how to send money home. Officials in Yucatan said the guide is a necessity to save lives but some American groups accused the government of encouraging illegal immigration.[48]
In 2005 the Mexican government was criticized for distributing a comic book which offers tips to illegal aliens emigrating to the United States.[49] That comic book recommends to illegal immigrants, once they have safely crossed the border, "Don't call attention to yourself. ... Avoid loud parties. ... Don't become involved in fights." The Mexican government defends the guide as an attempt to save lives. "It's kind of like illegal immigration for dummies," said the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, Mark Krikorian. "Promoting safe illegal immigration is not the same as arguing against it." The comic book does state on its last page that the Mexican Government does not promote illegal crossing at all and only encourages visits to the U.S. with all required documentation.[49]
Groups in favor of application and enforcement of current immigration law oppose MatrÃ*cula Consular ("Consular Registration"), an identification card issued by the Government of Mexico through its consulate offices. The purpose of the card is to demonstrate that the bearer is a Mexican national living outside of Mexico. Similar consular identification cards are the Guatemalan CID card and the Argentinian CID card as well as a number of other CID cards issued to citizens of Colombia, El Salvador, and Honduras.[50] The document is accepted at financial institutions in many states and, in conjunction with an IRS Taxpayer Identification Number, allows illegal immigrants to open checking and saving accounts.[51] California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former President Bill Clinton promote the use of foreign government CID cards in U.S. financial institutions.[52] In December 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger launched Bank on California which calls on California mayors to specifically encourage the use of the Mexican CID and Guatemalan CID card by banks and credit unions as a primary identification when opening an account.[53]
