No, I wasn't there at the time: IIRC, Malinche was the name the Aztecs gave to Cortez. Thus, those allied with outside interests are traitors. Since Aztlan seems to see itself as some sort of reincarnation of those old Aztecs, I guess they've adopted that term.

I don't know if the Aztlan folks subscribe certain other often-discussed Aztec practices...

Tancredo Presses Governor, Legislative Leaders to Block In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens



Asks Owens to Wield Veto Pen if Necessary to Reject Measure


From the Office of Congressman Tom Tancredo
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 19, 2005

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today urged Colorado Governor Bill Owens as well as the Speaker of the State House and President of the Senate to block the enactment of legislation designed to provide higher education benefits to illegal aliens.

"I hope you will make it clear to incoming legislative leaders that you plan to veto any legislation that will force Colorado taxpayers to subsidize the tuition of illegal aliens," Tancredo wrote in a letter to Owens. "This is a luxury we do not, and can not afford American families out of Colorado."

State Legislatures across the country are considering ill-advised proposals to extend taxpayer subsidized in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. Federal law (8 USC 1623), however, requires that states may not extend such benefits to illegal aliens unless they extend the same benefit to any U.S. citizen regardless of their state of residence - a requirement that could decimate state budgets.

"Given the financial strain that illegal aliens place on the K-12 education system in Colorado, one can only imagine the kind of fiscal consequences that would result if state taxpayers were forced to provide tuition benefits for both illegal aliens and prospective American students from the other 49 states -on top of providing the benefit for Colorado residents," Tancredo added.

Previous proposals to force Colorado taxpayers to subsidize illegal alien tuition were rejected by Republican-controlled legislatures - although Democrats now control both Houses of the General Assembly. Similar legislation (HB 1124) has been reintroduced this year by a Democrat.

"Our priority ought to be educating Colorado's kids," said Tancredo, "not asking state taxpayers to foot the higher education bills of illegal aliens and people from out-of-state."
