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.

I guess you're unfamiliar with MEChA's guiding principle: For the Race (hispanics), everything. For those not of the race (non-hispanics), nothing. I guess you've also not heard of MEChA's proclamation that North America is a BRONZE continent, and that only folks of a bronze hue are welcome. Yep, sure sounds like just a student organization that seeks to help out with tuition. And, by the way, I used to work with some illegals back in the late 1960s in California. And they knew about MEChA, even back then, when it was still in its relative infancy. And they thought it was the greatest thing.
