"If you check my recent posts, you will find that I am already familiar with MEChA and am no friend of the organization. I don't think most illegal aliens even know it exists. It's a movement of college students in America, not of illegals."
Oh, they know it exists. MEChA and the various La Raza groups are the biggest advocates of the illegal invasion.

The are advocates, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they authentically speak for the people who enter our country illegally. It just means that they advocate for what they perceive as those people's interests.
If you read some of the MEChA material, you will notice them saying that they should be better students of the barrio and respond better to the interests of those less fortunate than the students. The implication is that this is often not done.
Just because both illegals and pressure groups exist does not mean the illegals are aware of the pressure groups or even support them. Next time you see an illegal, ask him if he's ever heard of MEChA.
I'll be curious to hear his response.
