I have heard of Aztlan. Not from anyone Hispanic, though. But yeah, ok, I will buy the concept that brown racism is as bad as white racism. I just don't think the immigration illegal or not is the issue you think it is. I spent over a year living in the heart of the Hispanic side of town here. The crime rate was non-existent and there were Chihuaha license plates all over.
When I was in Mexico I travelled on buses and had several long talks with people who wanted to improve their English for when they went north. It was all they know to do to improve their lives. I do think you are right that reforms in the Mexican government would help a lot. I know they elected a reformer but I am not sure how successful he has been. >I'm not talking about legal immigration Dana, I am talking about illegal >immigration. > >I have a good friend Flora, she is great, runs the best Hardcore night in >DC, works and goes to school full time, and is working on finalizing her >naturalization and getting her citizenship right now.
