Mexican Insurgency in our Future?

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- April 21
Augustin Cebada - Brown Berets de Aztlan: "Mexicans have every right to be here. This land was stolen from us."

Lou Dobbs: Shocking claims tonight from the League of the United Latin American Citizens. The group's California chapter saying the United States must stop the deportation of illegal aliens. The California LULAC Chapter also says the entire border between the United States and Mexico may be illegitimate.

Casey Wian: The United States/ Mexico border was established in 1848 by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the Mexican/ American war and the Gadsden Purchase in 1854. A century and a half later the California chapter of the League of the United Latin American Citizens is questioning the very legitimacy of the order, as part of their effort to secure amnesty for illegal aliens following President Obama's recent trip to Mexico.

Obama: My country has been greatly enriched by migration from Mexico. Mexican-Americans form a critical and enduring link between our nations. And I am committed to fixing our broken immigration system.

Wian: LULAC claims that 2008 Supreme Court decision in a Texas death penalty case involving a Mexican citizen could render the 1848 border treaty invalid because Congress failed to make the treaty binding on individual states. So its California director says, "The government of Mexico should exercise its rights to third-party arbitration and reopen all questions of immigration including the rights of Mexican citizens in the United States and the legitimacy of the border itself."
