it seems like someone who is against illegal immigration would also be against a government that constantly invades other countries.
or am i just being too logical?

We fought a revolution against imperialist government. Since then, we have refused to turn any nation we have conquered into a colony. We let them elect their own governments and run their own countries.
Why is it that so many don't know what the word 'empire' means? The French had one, the British did, the Russians did ... the US never has.

Two different issues.
Many feel the war is justified or have you not heard the openly attacking remarks of Iran?
I do not feel we have an imperialist government. We have some crooked in government.
You need to be better educated.

It's the Mexican Government that's Imperialist, trying to take control of part of the United States.
I see MEChA, A racist, separatist organization.
I see La Raza, (The Race) Racist by definition.
I see references to Aztlan, a supposed nation that never was, promoted by people who do not respect treaties that were signed between the USA and Mexico.
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.
"La Raza" (The Race) is a broad term which refers to those whose ancestry is indigenous to the area of Mexico (or "Aztlan"). MEChA members refer to themselves as "La Raza" or "Raza," but the term itself is used to indicate camaraderie among those in different organizations with the same objectives. There are a number of organizations who consider themselves to be La Raza.
The myth of Aztlan can best be explained by California's Santa Barbara School District's Chicano Studies textbook, "The Mexican American Heritage" by East Los Angeles high school teacher Carlos Jimenez. On page 84 there is a redrawn map of Mexico and the United States, showing Mexico with a full one-third more territory, all of it taken back from the United States. On page 107, it says "Latinos are now realizing that the power to control Aztlan may once again be in their hands."
Shown are the "repatriated" eight or nine states including Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington. According to the school text, Mexico is supposed to regain these territories as they rightly belong to the "mythical" homeland of Aztlan.
The illegal immigrants who profess loyalty to this movement are not innocent economic refugees, they are foreign agents, they are spies and economic saboteurs.
