Dude, WHY would USA ever pay for land owned by Mexico? WHY would they build American government State Capital Buildings, police stations, county sheriff's offices, great connecting roads, schools, hospitals and courthouses in a foreign country called Aztlan?

I mean IF there was REAL place called Aztlan, that would make ME a Mexican since I live in Arizona.

Last I heard, Quebec uses Canadian Currency as legal tender. Could it be that Quebec is in Canada?

Once you answer all of the above, you'll be on your way to good mental health.

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.

As I have said many times before, the people who support Aztlan--not that such an entity ever really existed, but we will presume so just for the sake of argument--have 3 options:

1) Buy the land back...if they can afford it and we choose to sell.

2) Take the land back by force. Yeah, right...good luck.

3) Get over it.

Quebec isn't independent, by the way. It is part of Canada.

i do on no account think of Aztlan will...in addition to i've got not got faith it may. it particularly is extra a mythological appropriate to me, that with a bit of luck won't in any respect come to fruition. i do no longer realistically see it ever happening! in spite of the shown fact that, Euzkadi is a thoroughly distinctive count number. i might very almost trust those above who recommend that it has autonomy already that opponents Quebec. extra effective autonomy may be desireable, in ordinary terms to admire the needs of the locals for self-decision. If purely the failed Ibarretxe plan had made it in the process the Cortes! yet all of us knew that should on no account ensue. I help the appropriate of a area to self-decision - yet no longer quasi-mythical areas inclusive of Aztlan.

Quebec isn't independent, and, no I don't think you'll see Spain or America splitting themselves up, either. Lots of countries manage to exist with regions in which different languages have been spoken for generations. I think the USA will be able to continue exist even if a mythical proto-Aztec region of that country has had an increase in spanish-speaking illegal residents in the last few decades.

There has never been nor will there be an Aztlan. I doubt seriously that Spain would ally itself with an imaginary place.

The premise of your question is faulty.
There is no such place or thing as Aztlan.
It is a myth.
And these relentless posts about Aztlan The Myth are tiresome.

There is more relevance to the movie, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I live in the area in the United States you call Aztlan (Fantasyland for the ignorant). If you want to make this area independent...come well armed. We are.
