Most New Mexican Hispanics don't have any more to do with Mexico than their Anglo counterparts. As far as they are concerned, Mexico is a foreign country that also speaks Spanish. To say that New Mexicans want Mexico to retake the southwest is like saying New Yorkers want Canada to take over because they are also white, English speakers.
New Mexico was part of New Spain. When Mexico won its independence from Spain and become a sovereign country, New Mexico became its largely ignored backwater for about 75 years before the U.S. took over twice as long ago.

Tell that to the people in that video who are rallying others for their cause.
Hmmm... looking like America will be no more soon, at this rate of illegal invasion we are allowing. "We are millions, we just have to survive. We have an aging white America, they are not making babies, they are dying, it's a matter of time. The explosion is in our population."
The irony is that these same Mexicans who belong to the Aztlan movement, are the same Mexicans who refuse to identify themselves as Native Americans when it comes the U.S cenus forms. Infact many of them actually check the White box.

Whatever. Immigrants (legal or not) will adapt to the US over generations and the people already in the US will adapt to them. This has been going on for as long as there's been a US.
You're half right. Adaptation, the melting pot, has been an essential part of the American experience. But when Americans lose the will to make immigrants adapt to our ways because we now believe in "diversity" and equality of cultures and consider adaptation cultural imperialism then all bets are off. We are now in uncharted waters.
