As language is extremely important in the communication
process and this issue has been overheated by politics and propaganda on both
sides of the debate, as well as negativism and more, lets define our
terminology.
We acknowledge that there may be other, more loosely
defined terms and definitions, but for our purpose and documents, our authors
will seek to apply these more universal and refined definitions.
Note that some definitions have been appropriated in
whole of part from the American Heritage Dictionary and may differ.

recognize that the lands it seeks were never owned by the Mexican sovereignty,
2) understand that its logic of giving back the lands to the original Indian owners
would supercede all Americans and Mexicans and give the land back to the original indigenous
tribes that once controlled it (on both sides of the border---many who are
extinct), which would turn
the clock back over four-hundred years---a ridiculous concept at best---a
violent concept at worst. (see Reconquista
