Ok, no one else will, so I'll go out on a limb and bring it to surface,
| quote | the game is up. Your side is going to lose. You are not working, you are not procreating. We will overwhelm you and your racist friends. We will completely alter the status quo, and your beloved home will be our beloved home. Your people took America from us when Europeans came and raped and murdered our Bronze ancestors, you humiliated us, forced us to take your religion and your language. Then your country specifically took half our land in 1848 because you hated our skin color. And now you expect us to consider your feelings? If you hate us so much, go back to Europe. We aren't going anywhere. |

Posted on a Chicago Tribune blog, in response to an immigration discussion.
Somewhere, I saw it referred to it as "The Silent Alamo syndrome" . (Can't remember where I saw that now.)
By 'we will overwhelm', the writer is referring to the establisment of a strong Hispanic voter majority in the USA, accomplished by a high birthrate (compared to caucasion birthrates), massive influx of illegal immigration, and the dying off of the baby boomers. (baby boomers tend to vote every year)
Is the Mexican Government complicit and on board this sort of weird conspiracy to take back it's property? Who knows, but it seems really odd that every Mexican government for the last couple of decades has publicly encouraged it's own citizens to leave the country for the USA.
But, one thing that is odd, is that Hispanic communitiesseem to publicly oppose illegal immigration.

I have no idea how accurate the poll statistics quoted below are)
http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/pub/Immigration/EffOnMinorities/Laguna.htmlposted in response to opposition to Proposition 187 in Calif--1994
| quote | The respected magazine Hispanic says: "There is an ironic inconsistency in the U.S. Hispanic community. On the one hand, Hispanic Americans have become subjects of an anti-immigration backlash, while on the other, the majority opposes current levels of immigration. Up to 84% say there are already too many immigrants coming into the United States." Hispanic's report was based on the Latino National Political Survey, which, the magazine said, is considered the most sweeping measure to date of Latino opinion on social and political topics."
The poll sought a response to the statement, "There are too many immigrants." The following agreed or strongly agreed: Cuban Americans, 66%; Mexican Americans, 75%, Puerto Ricans, 79%. Surprisingly, non-citizens agreed or strongly agreed in larger percentages: Cubans, 73%, Mexicans, 84%. |

So, if the above statistics are accurate and still hold true today, it would lead me to believe the idea regarding a wide ranging Hispanic conspiracy to take over the lost lands
of the southwest and California is jreally ust a pipedream in the minds of a few extremists.
Or is it? The mass demonstrations in recent months seem to contradict everything the linked article says. Hispanic leaders in every major city have come out publicly in opposition to any new immigration law, or even enforcement of the existing laws. There is a huge opposition to any suggestion that a wall be built to shut down the illegal crossings.
So is there a new and real Reconquista movement afoot or is it just another conspiracy theory? (you can google Reconquista for the definition if ya don't already know it)
