Cruz Bustamante is a dangerous man. I say this not simply because he is a liberal Democrat, through that is worrying enough, rather I say it because he has well-documented links with a racist group which wants to reverse the results of the Mexican War and tear the Southwest out of the United States. Despite being given ample opportunity to do so, he has yet to renounce these links. He has, in fact, refused to do so. The election of Cruz Bustamante would be yet another step on the road to the creation of a post-American California, a chunk of Mexico entirely subsidized by American dollars. The point of this recall is to throw out Governor Gray Davis. However, I daresay, I would much rather see ol’ Grayout stay on as Governor than have a man in that office whose loyalty to the United States would appear to be questionable at best.

You may think that I am exaggerating. If this is so, it is only because you have yet to learn of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan or MEChA). MEChA attempts to pass itself off as a peaceful student group, ostensibly dedicated to improving educational activities for Latino students. Nothing could be further than the truth: in fact MEChA is a violent and treasonous group whose stated aim is to bring about the destruction of the United States. MEChA’s slogan is, “Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada" (Or, in English, “For the Race, everything. For those outside the Race, nothing�). Its constitution calls for a, “struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan.� In other words, MEChA’s goal is to rip the Southwest from the United States, by violence if necessary, and to subsequently create an Apartheid state. Members or the organization has openly admitted that, ultimately, they envision the expulsion of all ‘Anglos’ from the Southwest.

During his time as a student as Fresno State University, Bustamante was a member of this group. He claims to have only been a ‘moderate’, which is something akin to claiming to be a ‘moderate Nazi’ or a ‘middle of the road’ white supremacist. That an unrepentant individual with such a history could be the Lieutenant Governor of California, let alone a serious candidate for the office of Governor, is a disgrace. The liberal media seems to think that Arnold Schwarzenegger should be made to answer for the sins of his father. I only wish that they would make Bustamante answer for his own sins.

Too much attention, I think, has been paid to the racial aspects of this. Yes, it is certain despicable that a candidate for Governor would refused to renounce his association with out-and-out racists (a survey of the websites produced by the advocates of ‘Aztlan’ show them to be filled with anti-Semitic, and anti-‘Anglo’ diatribes). But what is in many ways much more concerning is the fact that Bustamante has never renounced the separatist ideology of MEChA nor, to my knowledge, has he been seriously questioned as to his loyalty to the United States. If Bustamante will not renounce MEChA, which advocates secession, the question must be asked: does he advocate secession as well? Does Bustamante think of himself as Mexican or American?

Without any doubt, the media would accuse anyone who asked such questions of racism and anti-immigrant prejudice. Nothing could be further from the truth. No one is questioning the loyalty of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is an actual immigrant. Where his loyalties lie is a well-established fact. He is a patriot. Were he a member (or former member) of a group which advocated Austria’s annexation of California, it would be another matter.

When, more than a decade ago, I first read of those who envision a ‘reconquista’ of the Southwest I laughed. That is no longer the case. The matter of the Aztlanites is deadly serious, and it is one which we will have to deal with at length in the years ahead. The two most prominent Hispanic politicians in the State of California, Bustamante and former Assembly Speaker (and near-Los Angeles Mayor) Antonio Villaraigosa were both, at one point, active supporters of the Aztlan concept. Villaraigosa was the President of MEChA’s UCLA Chapter. All across the State millions of young Latino children are having the anti-American ideology of racial separatism drummed into their heads at taxpayer expense. The millions of illegal immigrants who cross the border from Mexico into the United States every year are people who, for the most part, seem have no interest in shedding their Mexican identity and becoming Americanized. Even in the United States, these people continue to believe themselves Mexican, vote in Mexican elections, and raise their children as Mexicans. These illegals, those come without a love of America in their hearts, constitute nothing less than a vast civilian army, seeking to win back by the means of subversion what Mexico lost through war.

That is what makes Cruz Bustamante so dangerous. Already, the stupidity, laziness, and tendency towards pandering of so many California politicians has created a situation whereby illegal immigration is allowed to continue without obstruction and where no effort is made to, having resolved to let the illegals stay, integrate that great mass of people into the American public. A Governor Bustamante would almost certainly work to actively aid the continued infiltration and, indeed, to legitimize that infiltration. Already a bill has been passed allowing illegals in California to acquire California Driver’s Licenses. How long will it be before efforts are made to give them the right to vote (not that many don’t already vote illegally anyways)?

Secession is treason and those who advocate it are our traitors. It is high time to take a long look at just what kind of man it is how now aspires to be the Governor of California.
