[quote=spdrun][quote=CA renter]I’ve had Mexican-American friends tell me that the Mexicans were going to “take back” their territory in a bloodless war, simply by out-populating the white Americans. [/quote]
Think about what you’re saying.
Real question is, so what if they do and the US west ends up majority Mexican/Latino? How does that affect you? I don’t think that anyone is seriously proposing that Upper California should rejoin Mexico — most immigrants come here to escape bad political conditions down there.
Also, intermarriage tends to be more common among children of Latino immigrants, so we might end up with a “Californian” identity rather than a “Mexican” one in 100 years.
In short, who cares, unless you have some outdated notions of ethnic purity?
Yes, they are seriously proposing taking over the parts of the U.S. that were once Mexican territory. I agree that it would seem a bit insane, since that’s what they are supposedly trying to escape, but they don’t seem to be overly concerned with those types of details.
And I’ve personally seen the interracial marriage rates climbing as most of our kids friends are mixtures of two or more races. This wasn’t the case when I was growing up. I have no problem with that at all, but I DO have a problem with a political “takeover” of our country. If most of us wanted to live in Mexico, we’d already be there. Most of us don’t want to live in Mexico.
