Hmm. What does that say about Mexicans living in the Southwestern United States today?
There are those who adamantly deny that there's any thought of reconquista, but they're (probably willfully) ignorant, or in some cases (like La Raza), lying about their intentions.

The reality, though, is that it can't happen unless enough people here are willing to let it happen.

Unfortunately, I think there's a large number of people who would be so willing.
