The organization opposes what it sees as "Anglo"-U.S. culture and influences[1] and rejects the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, as well as what its members consider the "American occupation" of territory formerly belonging to Mexico and now form the southwestern United States.

On its website, the front states:

"We reject the occupation of our nation in its northern territories, an important cause of poverty and emigration. We demand that our claim to all the territories occupied by force by the United States be recognized in our Constitution, and we will bravely defend, according to the principle of self-determination to all peoples, the right of the Mexican people to live in the whole of our territory within its historical borders, as they existed and were recognized at the moment of our independence."[2]

Similarly, it promotes the reincorporation of Central America to Mexico, advocates the Second Mexican Empire, and deplores the establishment of the republic, which it considers decadent and against the nation.[3] In recent years, the group has gained notoriety for honoring Maximilian I of Mexico and conservatives of the 19th century such as Miguel Miramón and Tomás Mejía Camacho.[4]

Ideologically, it proposes a distributist economy, socialization and the Third-Positionist ideology as an alternative to both Marxism and capitalism. The group also wants Mexico to withdraw from the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), World Trade Organization (WTO), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the World Bank.

In its official website, the organization declares its opposition to all forms of violence and states that its primary goal is to win Mexicans' approval and adherence to their nationalist points of view. However, the front held protests in various cities to demand the immediate expulsion of Haitian and African immigrants who came to Mexico's borders in the fall of 2016.[5] Representatives of the front have also made open calls for Mexicans to join in their struggle against foreigners, sexual minorities and leftists. Human right advocates in Mexico raised their concerns about the group's rhetoric and increasing popularity among the youth.[6]

It is not a political party and thus cannot nominate candidates directly.
