My standard Aztlan reply:
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. On page 86, it says "...a free-trade agreement...promises...if Mexico is to allow the U.S. to invest in Mexico...then Mexico should...be allowed to freely export...Mexican labor. Obviously this would mean a re-evaluation of the border between the two countries as we know it today." Jimenez's Aztlan myth is further amplified at MEChA club meetings held at Santa Barbara Public Schools..
The book, paid for by American tax payers, cites no references or footnotes, leaving school children totally dependent on their teacher to separate fact from opinion and political propaganda. The book teaches separatism, victimization, nationalism, completely lacks patriotism towards the United States, and promotes an open border policy. The book is 100 percent editorial -- the opinions of the author.

It means absolutely nothing since it's a fantasy dream of those who are easily led. I live in the area you would like to call Aztlan, and I'm not giving up my property to a bunch of border hoppers without a real big fight. So if Mexico wants to go for round 3 (btw, how did those first 2 times work out for you), then they can bring it on.

Let me see - 1 - I have no trolls, understand that part.
Aztlan is what the "new immigrant" is calling the land that "belongs to them". In the context you are speaking of, Its parts of California, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
Political views state Aztlan pretty much the same way, although minus the boundary's...meaning all of America. There are diffing viewpoints of Aztlan...myth, tale, or real...The thing is, people are calling it there "new lands." Myth? Perhaps, but to some it is a future. Its there new lands.
Was this good, or would you like another synopsis?

Aztlan is Anglo-Mexico or Hispanic-America.

Well if you take it as it reads, they are wanting a dead nation cause you are right about what it stands for and they are all long dead but if you're looking at it from the illegal point of view, they are too uneducated to know that it's a dead nation they are pulling for.

It means "fantasy"; "myth," as in "did not, does not, and never will exist."
