They would be turned in by loyal Hispanic-Americans. :-) One of the most important aspects of this is the developing understanding of the Texan war of independence. The role of Hispanic patriots in fighting for Texas independence against the tyranny Santa Anna is being emphasized by both the old guard white Texans and the Hispanics. The multi-generational Hispanics that trace their Texan ancestry back 150+ years tend to be fairly conservative, and are well established Texans. Immigrants are in the US because they, or their parents or grandparents, would rather be here than in Mexico. So, I'd argue that the US is much more at risk from right wing militias than from Hispanic Americans. Dan M.
