[parishht]

I heard this term on PBS a few years ago, during a show
on the English language.

Reconquista

The narrator was in the Mexican congress and heard a speaker say,
the reconquista of the U.S. has begun.

I found that very interesting and did some research,
here is a link to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconquista_(Mexico)

When you click on the link, it will take you to the wrong page.
When you get to the Wikipedia page,
add (Mexico) to the address and it will take you to the correct page

or

copy and paste the link into the address area
