Some marginally informed people, mostly of the left persuasion, continue to believe that the Great Divide debate is fueled only by conservatives and free marketers wanting to separate from the socialist left.  RR serves as a forum for such debates.  Here is a factually confused yet dedicated Hispanic Los Angeles School District teacher rallying La Raza supporters at UCLA to revolt against US ownership of Mexican Cession lands – this is just one of the many and continuing calls for Reconquista.
 
The important sidelight here to consider is that such individuals fill teachers’ ranks in the southwest, and teach our kids a jaundiced version of US history which goes a long way to explain the perversion of the national attitude over the last forty or so years.  And this beat definitely goes on.
