ARMANDO NAVARRO - SEDITIONIST
"Ethnic Studies" Professor Armando Navarro (U.C, Riverside), head of "Impacto 2000", militant, seditious revolutionaries pledged to "take back AZTLAN", has proclaimed his anti-American rhetoric many times. From "RECONQUISTA - The "Takeover of America" booklet and audio tape produced by the California Coalition for Immigration Reform: From the Latino Summit Response to Proposition 187 at U.C. Riverside, in January 1995: (The was the conference where Democrat Party Chairman Art Torres proclaimed, "Prop 187 is the last gasp of white America in California" - where over 500 Latino activists swore non-compliance with Proposition 187)
Navarro, organizer of the conference: "These are the critical years for us in the Latino community. We're in a state of transition. And that transformation is called the browning of America. Latinos are now becoming the majority. Time and history is on the side of the Chicano/Latino community. The difference with us today in 1995 is that the demographic transformation of 25 million people is changing the coloring of American. It is changing in the future and in the present the balance of power of this nation.
It's a game, it's a game of power. Who controls it. Today, as we sit here, Latinos from grad K through the 12th grade comprise 39% of the student population of the state of California. The Anglo - 40%. In the year 2010 Latinos will comprise 50% of the student population statewide, the Anglo population 28%. And we saw the awesome, awesome capability of the student sector during the October-November period (1994 - Latino "Grande Marcha" against Prop 187 in Los Angeles). We saw the mobilization of thousands and thousands of high school students spontaneously emerge to the challenge, organize themselves. We've got to continue that mobilization -- you are like the generals that command armies. We're in a state of war. This Proposition 187 is a declaration of war against the Latino/Chicano community of this country!
They know the demographics, they know that history and time is on our side, as one people, as one nation within a nation as the community that we are, the Chicano/Latino community of this nation. What that means is a transfer of power. It means control. It means who's going to influence. And it is the young people that are going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self determination, in terms of empowerment, even in terms of the idea of an AZTLAN!"
