"Mexica" (pronounced Meshica) rather than "Mexico," is claimed by some "Raza" radicals to be the true Aztec pronounciation

Those cheap tomatoes may not be worth the destruction of America by radical Hispanics who believe their cause is identical to the "cause" of militant Islamics.

It's true that Americans won't do the work that illegal alien workers will do because they will not allow themselves to be exploited. But Illegal alien workers happily allow themselves to be exploited by employers and contractors who welcome the "cheap" labor. While the illegal workers may be better off than they were in their third world countries, their American Citizen offspring don't forget the legacy of the exploitation of their parents and are easily drawn to "payback" organizations such as MEChA.

Certified college and high school MEChA clubs supported with public money are found on many U.S. high schools and most major colleges. Members of MEChA refer to themselves as Mechistas.

MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as "Mechistas," romanticize Mexican claims to the "lost Territories" of the Southwestern United States -- a Chicano country called Aztlan. In its national constitution, MEChA calls for self-determination by its members to liberate Aztlan. MEChA's national constitution starts out: "Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán"

Mechistas see their "cause" to be the same as the Palestinian cause -- the taking back of their "homeland." Mechistas publicly demonstrate their sympathy with Palestinians. Many are openly anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist.

Extreme radical elements of MEChA glorify Islamic terrorists as "freedom fighters."
