Mexican Middle Class Fuels Ascendance of ‘Greater Mexico’

New America Media, News Analysis, Louis E.V. Nevaer, Posted: Jul 18,
2008

Editor's Note:The Mexican middle class is changing the face of
Mexicans in the United States and "Greater Mexico" increasingly looks
like us, writes NAM contributor Louis E.V. Nevaer.

For a generation, Mexican intellectuals have pondered the possibility
of a “Greater Mexico” – the idea that Mexican immigration to the
United States was so persistent and sustainable, that Mexican culture
could “re-settle” lands lost to the United States at the conclusion of
the Mexican American War. Americans, clinging to the belief of a
“melting pot,” dismissed that notion, arguing that Mexican immigrants
would follow historical norms and assimilate into mainstream American
life, as previous generations of newcomers did before them.
