President Bush and the congressional leaders of both parties are determined to achieve a de facto amnesty in 2006 for possibly over 12 million illegal migrants. Since more than half of the illegal migrants came from Mexico, Americans should not ignore another amnesty's severe impact on the political future of the United States.
Professor Samuel P. Huntington, chairman of Harvard University's Academy for International and Area Studies, warned in "The Hispanic Challenge," an article published in Foreign Policy in April 2004:
Demographically, socially, and culturally, the reconquista (re-conquest) of the Southwest United States by Mexican immigrants is well underway. No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican Americans can and do make that claim ...
Huntington also noted that "Mexican immigration differs from past immigration and most other contemporary immigration due to a combination of six factors: contiguity, scale, illegality, regional concentration [in the American Southwest], persistence and historical presence."
In May 2005, the BBC reported:
The Latinization of California is nothing short of a revolution. California will become a predominantly Spanish-speaking state within the next few years. And, as the majority population, there is really no need, or incentive, for them to assimilate into mainstream American society as their predecessors have always done. Whether Latinos then decide to push for greater autonomy or to seek a political agenda of their own with closer ties to Mexico and Central America is very much up for grabs.
Back in August, 2001, even the French newsweekly Le Nouvel Observateur carried an article with the title, as translated into English, "The Reconquering of California by Latinos." In October of that year, the left-wing, pro-immigration New California Media reported that Mexico "continues to mourn the loss of half of its territory to the U.S. in the 19th Century."
Those warnings and reports are supported by actions, statements, joint lobbying efforts of high-level government officials in Mexico and activist leaders of Mexican descent in the United States:
In 1997, Ernesto Zedillo, then the president of Mexico, said in Chicago: "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important ? a very important ? part of it."
In 1998, Jose Pescador Osuna, then-consul general of Mexico, stated in California: "We are practicing La Reconquista in California."
In 2004, Vicente Fox, president of Mexico, declared in Chicago: "We are Mexicans that live in our territories and we are Mexicans that live in other territories. In reality, we are 120 million people that live together and are working together to construct a nation." REST OF THE ARTICLE:
