To settle this once in for all.... "AZTLAN" IS not real, and if it is, its American land!?

Question

Now, went to visit my grandfather in Oklahoma and we had a nice discussion about illegal immigration. According to him (Cherokee) - Long ago, the "American Indians and the White man went to war, and we had to give up our land." I nodded and said. "I know Grandfather...but then why is it that illegals from Mexico claim the land as there own?" He nodded and said "Land had been argued over for much time. Its American land..all of our people's land. We must accept it. Who is American?" And I joke with you not, he took out his wallet, and pulled out his SS card and placed it in my hand. "Anyone with this is an American. If they have papers, documents that are legitimate, they are legal citizens. Otherwise, they are invaders."

My grandfather is wise, don't you think so too? (he is 94 years old BTW). GOD BLESS ALL LEGAL AMERICANS!

And God bless America!

Cozc, Im sure if he would have said otherwise to you likeing, you would be singing a different tune.

Answer 1

Your grandfather is wise. And at 94 years old, he recognizes that one must live in today.

Today is 2007. And the laws of today must be upheld.

God bless your grandfather too.

Answer 2

I knew your grandfather and most the rest of us were very wise on ownership to the American lands. However, it is not those of us who know this that need to be set straight on the facts. Thank him for me with another way to address the issue with the illegal invaders.

Answer 3

God bless your grandfather. He is the type of man every American citizen should strive to be like.

Answer 4

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.
