I wonder...have these Hispanic reconquistas ever considered the fact that Spain took Mexico from the native Indians that were living there, very brutally I might add. Why don't we "reconquer" Mexico for the Aztecs and Mayans?

Because the residual Spanish conquistadores, aka the Mexican elites have solved their 'native problem' by sending them north with visions of regaining their homeland (even though it wasn't *their* homeland but instead belonged to other Natives at that time...)

Visit any Aztlan web page. These so-called Mexican "Hispanics" get rather upset when you call them Hispanics as their descent is mostly Indian. They hate Spain and the Americans with equal ferver as they see both Spain and the U.S. as the conquerers of their Indian ancestors.
