Perhaps the phrase "militant activities" means something somewhat less threatening in Spanish.

Country Store (links still not working) linked to an news article containing this quote from Mexico's foreign minister comments on Mexico's initiation of a "bottoms-up campaign" to win support for the legalization of 3.5 million undocumented workers in the U.S. The article contains this provocative quote:

"What's important is that American society sees a possible migratory agreement in a positive light," Castaneda said. "We are already giving instructions to our consulates that they begin propagating militant activities -- if you will -- in their communities."

Can't say I like the sound of "militant activities" used in reference to such a large block of unassimilated people.

C-SSPAN's Washington Journal had a guest who said that Castaneda is a former hard core leftist. So the "militant activities" phrase may not be entirely innocuous.
