MEXICO and other Hispanic Nations CONTINUE to Meddle in U.S. elections!

An interesting article from www.vdare.com about Mexico and other Hispanic nations meddling in the U.S. election. This follows this post about immigration in Rome. Remember, “Amnesty” means ANY non-enforcement of existing immigration laws! This follows this comment and this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! Also, you can read two very interesting books HERE.

Said In Spanish: More Trump Trashing, More Hispanic Hypocrisy On Birthright Citizenship; etc.


What’s been going in the Spanish-language media the past month? As you’ve probably guessed, plenty of Trump-trashing—and more Hispanic hypocrisy, especially about Birthright Citizenship.
TRUMP PROFILE A HIT PIECE
Donald Trump’s open defense of American sovereignty has the Mexican chattering class on edge. As well it should. They recognize what Trump might be able to accomplish, and they don’t like it.
Thus, El Universal ran a web feature entitled Donald Trump El Magnate Antiinmigrantes [Donald Trump the Anti-Immigrant Magnate]. Besides the standard biographical information, there’s a section entitled “Trump vs. Mexico” featuring context-free quotes from Trump about Mexico, a section entitled “Contratos Abajo” [Contracts Cancelled] showing the companies that have broken business deals with Trump, and a photo gallery entitled “Lluvia de Criticas,” [Rain of Criticisms], chronicling Trump-trashing by a wide spectrum of famous people, including celebrities (Cher, Shakira, the former Mexican national soccer team coach, and Jorge Ramos) and assorted politicians.
One noteworthy trasher: Eugenio Derbez, a well-connected comedian and nephew of a former Mexican foreign minister. He said:
“They [Trump’s] are totally racist commentaries and I am sure that the day that Mexicans aren’t in this country [the U.S.], Latinos in general, the day that they are deported, the country will stop. The Latinos are the force that moves the United States.”
My emphasis. “The force that moves the United States”? Can we ask where?
Naturally, several of these celebrities boasted about the much-touted Latino Vote.
About as much chance of being President as Cher.Politicians reported to be trashing Trump included Mexican government officials, Jeb Bush (or do I repeat myself?), two former Mexican presidents, Hillary Clinton, Lindsey Graham, Barack Obama and Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro, protégé of the late Hugo Chavez, said of Trump: “That type of person generates madness against our beloved Latin American People.”
Hmmm. Maduro has previously sworn “a little bird” told him the late Hugo Chavez is “happy.” [Is Nicolas Maduro Losing It? By Oscar Lopez, Latin Times, July 29, 2014]. I think Latin Americans can generate madness without Trump’s help
Josefina Vasquez Mota, a failed PAN party presidential candidate in 2012, said:
politicos_6[1]In the face of the declarations of terrible ignorance and disdain of a gentleman like Donald Trump and others who think like him, it’s important to know what’s happening with our community: 83 of every 100 Mexicans who currently reside in the United States, were born in the United States or have legal residence.
Two points to note:
  1. Josefina considers all those born in the U.S. of Mexican ancestry as “Mexicans” and part of “our community.”
  2. Even she admits that 17% are illegals.
Mexican Party Boss Trashes Trump
The much-hyped attack on a homeless Hispanic man provided fodder for the new presidente of the PRI, Mexico’s governing party:
After the attack that an indocumentado of Mexican origin suffered in Boston, the national leader of the PRI, Manlio Fabio Beltrones, called for a confrontation of ideas with populist demagogues.
[Beltrones referenda apoyo a migrantes y alerta contra discursos de odio [Beltrones reaffirms support to migrants and alerts against discourse of hate] by Alberto Morales, Universal, August 23, 2015]
And Mexican political leaders know a lot about populist demagogues.
Manlio Fabio Beltrones condemned the aggressions of the brothers Scott and Steve Leader, sympathizers [Allegedly—AW] of the Republican primary candidate Donald Trump, who beat and afflicted an indocumentado of Mexican origin in Boston, Massachusetts and [Beltrones] affirmed that the discourses of hate only generate violence.
But who in the U.S. is defending the Leader brothers? And when has Beltrones lamented the many violent crimes committed by illegals against Americans?
Beltrones actually met with Mexican congressmen about the issue and later declared in a communique:
“That type of populist demagogue that unfortunately is emerging in various places and with distinct masks, they have in common that they generate violence, rancor and they are a risk to democracy…”
Speaking to members of his political party, Beltrones asked the PRIstas to be attentive to the debate of current topics and to meet with citizens with ideas and proposals that unmask the populists of one or another political persuasion.
My emphasis. Note that Beltrones is making no distinction between the Mexican and U.S. political realms.
Beltrones went on:
“The PRI makes the cause of the Mexican migrants its own, as they form an indissoluble nucleus of our society, in that they provide remittances and cultural richness.”
My emphasis. This is a startling admission by the leader of a Mexican political party—especially because for the first time a major U.S. presidential candidate has called the Mexican government to account for its exploitation of emigration to advance its own interests at American expense.
My suggestion: Trump should also condemn this Mexican meddling in U.S. affairs, through its consulates and its openly claiming the loyalty of Mexican-Americans via its citizenship law.
Prediction: If Trump continues to advance, watch for more meddling by the Mexican government to stop him. They may already be working on it.
Hispanic Hypocrisy On Birthright Citizenship
On August 15th, La Opinión, the biggest Spanish-language paper in the U.S., published De nuevo sugieren cambiar la ciudadanía por nacimiento [Again the proposal to change citizenship by birth emerges] By Pilar Marrero]
This was the day before Donald Trump’s position paper officially challenged automatic birthright citizenship and was principally written in response to comments by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie [Christie no longer sure about birthright citizenship, by Steve Benen, MSNBC, August 12, 2015]
According to La Opinión’s Benen:
Throughout all the history of the United States, those born here automatically acquired U.S. citizenship regardless of who their parents were, a practice consecrated by the 14th amendment to the Constitution.
Not exactly, but moving on…
But every so often, and generally every four years during the presidential contention, somebody considers that it’s a good idea to suggest that this privilege should be removed from the children of inmigrantes sin papeles [immigrants without papers] as a type of punishment to the parents for coming illegally.
Benen then listed the Republican candidates and their positions—the implication being for Latinos to vote against anyone who opposes birthright citizenship.
What about Mexico? Trump is being criticized for saying that it doesn’t have birthright citizenship when, technically, it does. But my own experience suggests this is pretty darn technical.
In Mexico, it’s always important to check what the law says against what actually occurs. The Mexican Constitution (Capitulo II, Articulo 30 pdf., on p.26 of 170) does stipulate that any baby born in Mexican territory, regardless of parentage, is Mexican—automatic birthright citizenship. But my two sons were born in Mexico. Each baby’s Mexican birth certificate was issued to my wife and myself by a Mexican registrar. However, since I was a foreigner, the registrar required me to show my Mexican work permit in order to process the paperwork!
In other words, I had to prove I was in Mexico legally for each son to have a Mexican birth certificate!
When our second son was born, this process was temporarily derailed. My Mexican work permit was being renewed for the year, so it was temporarily out of my possession. The registrar would not issue the birth certificate until I had showed her my work permit. It took us several more weeks to obtain it.
So Mexico, although technically offering automatic birthright citizenship to children of illegal aliens and other foreigners, has in practice a way of getting around it. It can just refuse to issue birth certificates if one or both parents are not in the country legally! How very clever!
And note that, in our case, one of the parents, my wife, was a Mexican citizen, yet the child still didn’t automatically receive the documentation!
Ironically, what happened to us resembles what’s going on now in some jurisdictions of Texas, where birth certificates are being withheld from anchor babies on an ID technicality.
Needless to say, the Mexican government opposes this and has filed an amicus brief in the inevitable lawsuit.
What Latinos Miss After Moving To The U.S.
Ever find something on the Internet and you don’t even remember how? I ran across this interesting article on iMUJER a women’s Spanish-language website aimed at Latin American women living in the U.S.: 5 cosas que los latinos extrañan al mudarse a Estados Unidos [Five Things that Latinos Miss After Moving to the United States, by Sofia Gabarrat. Accessed August 28, 2015].
Gabarrat explains: “Leaving one’s country is not easy, even less so if you emigrate to a country where the culture is so very different, as occurs with the Latinos who move to the United States.”
The five things Latinos miss:
  1. La música en todas partes. [Music everywhere]. Gabarrat writes that there is music everywhere in Latin America, and in the U.S. people are too serious.
  2. Hablar español. [Speaking Spanish]. Gabarrat says that even if you learn English, you miss speaking Spanish, saying good morning in the grocery store. Maybe she lives somewhere that is still America.
  3. La gente. [The people].
  4. Los vendedores de la calle. [Street vendors].
  5. La libertad. [Liberty]. This is interesting. Americans fancy that foreigners come here seeking freedom. But most Latin Americans don’t see it that way. I never heard anybody in Mexico say he wanted to emigrate to the U.S. for “libertad”. Gabarrat writes:

In Latin America we don’t have so many rules, don’t you think? From riding a motorcycle without a helmet, to selling homemade food that you prepared in your own home in the street…… ¡Libertad! We all know that liberty presupposes that we should take care of ourselves more, but that is a price that we love to pay to do what we want to do.
Having lived in Latin America, I understand. I even sympathize. But it does show that most Latin Americans come to the U.S. for the money—not for freedom.
There’s a simple, human, and mutually respectful solution to this problem of a culture clash. Latinos who live in the U.S. and don’t feel they fit in should not try to take over our culture. They should consider moving back to Latin America, where they can be immersed in their own culture every day.
They can hear the music, they can buy from the street vendors, they can revel in the Latin American style of liberty.
That’s what different cultures and countries are for.
Isn’t that true multiculturalism?

Jorge Ramos Ejected: Trump Fires Warning Shot Across Bow of #BlackLivesMatter Motormouths

Jorge Ramos Ejected: Trump Fires Warning Shot Across Bow of BlackLivesMatter Motormouths


Half a month ago, poor old Bernie Sanders was feebly left speechless in Seattle by two fat angry black women who screamed him off his own stage:

Tuesday, in contrast, Donald Trump decisively responded to an ethnic grievance monger trying to take control of the Donald’s news conference by having a tall security guard escort the puny interloper out of the room until the man calmed down:

Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist, blogs:
Trump, that magnificent bastard, made his enemy do the perp walk on International TV while appearing 100% in charge of the situation.
In contrast, most of the English language news media in America — finding Mexicans tedious except in the abstract — is shocked that Trump would be insensitive to some poor nonwhite immigrant.
But you know and I know the race man who wouldn’t stop talking wasn’t just some BLM nobody like in Seattle, he was Haim Saban’s blue-eyed boy, Jorge Ramos, anchorman of the Spanish-language Univision network.
Here’s my 2004 VDARE book review of Ramos’ The Latino Wave: How Hispanics Will Elect the Next American President. I wrote 11 years ago:
Ramos is a stealth superstar. If you don`t speak Spanish—or read VDARE.com —you`ve probably never heard of him. …
Ramos is a man with a mission: keeping Latinos from fully assimilating into the American mainstream. He writes:
“I’m not one of those people who thinks that the common bond that unites those of us who live in the United States is the English language. No, I believe that this country’s two main characteristics are its acceptance of immigrants and its tolerance for diversity. These things are what bind us together; we’re here thanks to these unifying principles. That’s what it means to be an American. Not your ability to speak English. Talk to me in Spanish … or at least try. I sometimes go entire days without having to speak a single word of English…”
Of course, if Americans be persuaded that English is no longer the nation’s common bond, Hispanics can continue watching Univision’s Spanish-language broadcasts.
Mr. Perenchio [the Italian-American previous owner of Univision and Ron Unz’s arch-enemy during the Prop. 227 battle over bilingual education in California] must be pleased to have such a loyal lackey. Reading this book, I lost track of how many times Ramos argues that various politicians doomed their campaigns by not buying enough spots on Univision. …
Whether or not it’s bad for America, it’s good for his bank account.
Besides, what does he care? He remains a Mexican citizen even after 21 years in the U.S.
Since Ramos wrote The Latino Wave in Spanish for his Spanish-speaking fans (it was translated by Ezra E. Fitz), he can be franker than mass immigration apologists usually are when addressing an English-speaking audience. He gloats:
“But while no fighting is taking place on the military or legal fronts, there is fighting going on culturally. It’s the Reconquest. Latinos are culturally reconquering lands that once were part of the Spanish empire…”
Accordingly, much of Ramos` argument will be more familiar to readers of VDARE.com than to the gullible readers of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page. Thus while Ramos pays lip service to “proposition nation” ideology to con non-Hispanics into allowing unlimited immigration into their country, he clearly believes that ethnicity and demographics matter. And he wants his ethnic group to win.
In 2007 Jerry Perenchio sold Univision to a consortium led by Haim Saban, who has been perhaps the biggest single contributor to Hillary Clinton’s campaigns over the years.
Of course, Trump is well aware of all these convoluted personal interests at play. Chuck Ross wrote for the Daily Caller in June:
Donald Trump’s Camp Questions If Univision Owner’s Ties To Hillary Clinton Are Behind Pageant Decision
With Univision’s decision to sever ties with the Miss Universe pageant — which is controlled in part by Donald Trump — the Republican presidential candidate and his camp are questioning the Hispanic media outlet’s move, saying that the company was reacting to pressure from Mexico and its owner, Haim Saban, who is a big Hillary Clinton supporter.
“[Univision is] put under a lot of pressure, in my opinion, by the Mexican government to get [me] to not talk about trade and the southern border,” Trump told The Daily Caller on Thursday.
“The biggest people in Univision, they’re all supporting Hillary,” he added. “I think that had a lot to do with it. They see how I’m doing in the polls,” the real estate billionaire continued, citing a recent poll from Suffolk University which shows him in second place in New Hampshire behind Jeb Bush.
“They know that I’ll beat [Clinton] if I run against her,” Trump said.
The Trump campaign is like 14 years of iSteve blogging about the behind-the-scenes interests playing out in real time.
Thirty years ago, I would have felt that emphasizing the Hillary-Haim-Jorge connection was unseemly. What matters is not the grubby little conspiracies, but the principles at stake!
A commenter submitted a very interesting quote from Trump about what changed when the Cold War was won. I haven’t been able to dig it up, so I’ll just riff off my vague memory. Trump argued that during the Cold War, long-term strategizing was highly important. But in the post-Cold War era, Trump’s skill set of tactical negotiating strengths has risen in relative value.
Like everything Trump says, this was self-interested. But it’s also interesting. Trump is sort of the anti-Reagan in the sense that Reagan was, for an ex-actor, surprisingly impersonal, more interested in enduring principles than in current personalities. (It drove Reagan’s kids crazy that he seemed less interested in their troubles than in the country’s.) Movie audiences tended to responded to him most when he could play to his natural strong suit as a high-minded idealist, such as in Reagan’s big 1951 hit Bedtime for Bonzo.
Trump, in contrast, is quick to point out his opponents’ mercenary biases. When Trump bothers to enunciate principles, as in the brilliant opening to his immigration position paper, they’re generally sensible. But he seems more aware than anybody else that we’re living in Fukuyama’s End of History when history hasn’t ended, just ideological sincerity. Political actors now are motivated less by economic theories than by whatever are the personal or identity group scams they happen to be working.

BEIJING: (Reuters)-China announced July 15 it had the technology to make neutron bombs, but gave no details. “China officially announced here today that it has already mastered the neutron bomb design technology,” the official Xinhua news agency said in a one-paragraph report.
The announcement came amid a dispute with rival Taiwan, which abandoned its “one China” policy that has helped underpin East Asian security for decades.
The three-line Xinhua report gave no clue as to when the neutron bomb was developed or whether China had conducted tests, begun mass production or deployed the weapon.

Editorial: How to rebut a Mexican when talking about immigration

Editorial

It is important to know how to talk to people from Mexico about immigration. They usually have their views that may be difficult to refute when you are exposed to them the first time. Allan Wall from Vdare wrote a great article exposing some of these points in an article about an American author.

http://www.vdare.com/articles/memo-from-middle-america-reconquistas-anti-americans-natural-republicans-rage-at-ann-coulter-south-of-the-border

Memo From Middle America: RECONQUISTAS, Anti-Americans, “Natural Republicans” Rage At Ann Coulter South Of The Border


ANNINPROCESONThe firestorm surrounding Ann Coulter’s ¡Adios, America! has spread below the border, to Proceso, a prominent Mexican news magazine. What’s really interesting is the long comments thread: it’s very bad news for anyone foolish enough to believe (as our Main Stream Media and political elite apparently do) that Mexicans like America—or that Mexican immigrants have any intention of assimilating.
The Proceso article, [Migrantes mexicanos son más peligrosos que el Estado Islámico: escritora de EU (“Mexican migrants are more dangerous than the Islamic State: US Writer”), May 30, 2015] was based on only one segment of Coulter’s combative interview with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos. The comments were mostly from Mexicans in Mexico, with a few from Mexicans abroad and some non-Mexicans. The same arguments popped up again and again—indeed, I was already familiar with them from reading the Mexican media. (Translations and hyperlinks mine).
  • Personal attacks (including on Ann’s mother)
Ann (and her late mother) came under intense personal attack. Ann was called stupid, racist, fascist, Nazi, KKK and a Hitler relative (?). One commenter called her an “analfabestia”, a combined form I’d never seen before. (It means “illiterate beast”). Another said she shouldn’t be allowed into Mexico, and if she came, she should be kidnapped. (Carlos Rf, May 30, 13:05) hoped that a black man would rape and inseminate her. Antonio Calderon (May 30, 18:10) said:
The frustration that her extreme ugliness of body and soul provokes has surely conditioned here extreme manner of thinking, of labeling entire cultures and proposing their extermination…
Extermination? When did Ann call for that? Oh yes, just advocating immigration restrictions means you’re a Nazi.
  • Jorge Ramos shouldn’t have talked to her
One commenter said Ramos was wrong to even give Ann a voice, another said he should have bashed Ann’s ancestors more (!).
Still, another did call both Ramos and Coulter attention-seekers and asked why Ramos was seemingly so uninterested in improving Mexico.
  • It’s not allowed to generalize about Mexicans
Many commenters admitted that there were Mexicans doing bad things in the U.S. but insisted that Americans should not make generalizations anyway. (Of course, this doesn’t answer why Americans should bring in anyone likely to cause problems).
  • All Latinos aren’t Mexicans
Some commenters complained that Americans blame Mexicans immigrants for problems caused by non-Mexican Latinos—Mexicans generally take a dim view of Central American immigrants. (Perhaps, but cutting off immigration from all countries would solve that problem.)
  • Trashing the U.S.
American social problems were brought up again and again: school shootings, serial murders, drug abuse, junk food and war veterans who kill people. We’re also stupid.
  • Evil U.S. foreign policy
Hiroshima, Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq etc. The U.S. was called the biggest perpetrator of genocide in history, worse than the Nazis.
  • Republicans are dangerous racists
Republicans were said to be “more dangerous than Mexicans.” Ann was said to be “racist like many Republicans”.
“Natural Republicans,” eh?
  • Christianity
Ann’s faith was constantly attacked. How could she wear a cross and be “racist?” One commenter said she wasn’t worthy to wear the cross.
  • Mexicans are slaves
Incredibly, several commentators described Mexicans working in the U.S. as being a form of slavery.
  • Americans do bad things in Mexico
Spring Breakers were a particular target. One commenter (Gaston Henry Caporal Cerezo) even went so far as to say that Americans he saw in Mexican resort towns were “the scum of humanity”.
Now, I’ve pointed out myself that some Spring Breakers behave inappropriately. But Spring Breakers only spend a week in Mexico. Many Mexican criminals are permanently residing in the U.S.
  • Blaming the Mexican government (which is still America’s fault)
The Mexican government came in for its share of the blame, especially the governing PRI party. But some commenters blamed the U.S. for the bad state of the Mexican government.
  • America belongs to Indians anyway
Very many commenters went on about white settlers and American Indians—failing, of course, to mention that Indians are generally at the bottom of Latin American societies. Thus Vicente Franco (May 30th, 17:51) said:
If you feel invaded then return to where your ancestors came from, by the Atlantic Ocean. These lands were ours when they arrived invading, annihilating Indians and then Mexicans…
By the way, Franco currently resides in the United States.
  • Hispanics have the only real culture
Dolores Mendoza (May 30th, 20:37) wrote that
I’ve only been to the U.S. once, and I could perceive that there was not a pure culture, I’m not even sure I’m right , but that’s not important. … The true culture….is what has been constructed by the millions and millions of immigrants that form that country and that come from Latin America.
  • America stole our territory
Repeatedly, commenters complained about the American annexation of the Southwest following the Mexican War. The “Gringos Stole Our Land!” narrative is deeply engrained upon the Mexican psyche. You think they all forget it when they cross the border?
Indeed, open advocacy of Reconquista was common. For example, Alejandro Carrillo (May 30, 12:48) declared:
This is the true vengeance for the territory that belongs to us, now we are inundating it with more paisanos and soon, very soon, it will be Mexican territory or at least have a majority of Mexicans. They are right to fear us!
Abelardo (May 30, 13: 00) crowed that
[T]he nearly 50 million Mexicans on the other side are not out of place, but we are from here, they robbed what they should not have, and constructed where they shouldn’t have It’s only a question of time and we will give the turn to the tortilla…nobody cares about your culture, in fact, what culture? ….f— you! Ann coulter if you don’t like our America go back to England or wherever you coming from.
Here are three more:
Marcos (May 31, 13:48):
[T]he gringos should fear the consequences of their actions, because the stolen territories are now being repopulated by their original inhabitants… [The U.S.] will become a mestizo culture, by the mixture of races… poor gringos are going to become what they hate so much.
Hector (May 30, 14:40):
[E]very day Mexicans and Latinos prepare in universities to take important roles….when a Mexican or Hispanic becomes president in about 40 yearS, let the racists tremble….they will be ruled by a Latin culture where the family is numero uno.
David Chavez (May 31, 9:43):
If we go to the other side of the river it’s not that we want to become gringos, it’s just that we are recovering the territory that they took from us…
Chavez works for the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico—proving that Mexican Protestants can also be Reconquistas in good standing.
  • American success is only due to immigrant workers
It’s not an uncommon view that the success of the U.S. is thanks to Mexican laborers. Americans, after all, are too lazy to work. As “Marco” (May 30, 20:29) put it:
If it weren’t for the nearly-slave cheap labor in the United States, the country would not be so powerful and progressive as you have been always…most of what is consumed in the U.S. is manufactured or harvested in Mexico…
  • America either has no identity or has an evil identity that must be destroyed
Mexicans have completely swallowed the “Nation of Immigrants” myth. And, since the U.S. is a “nation of immigrants,” we have no right whatsoever to stop anybody from entering. As one commenter said, everybody’s an immigrant except American Indians—and Mexicans who lived in the Southwest.
Some commenters went further, declaring that the U.S. has no culture, history or identity of its own—so anybody can move in and establish his own culture there. As Ponchin Peregrino (May 30, 17:41) said: “the U.S.A. is nobody’s and is a country of immigrants.”
This, of course, is the logical end of the “nation of immigrants” mythology.
But other readers recognized the Anglo-Saxon origins of the United States—they just don’t like it. One said the U.S. was founded by “the scum of England”. (If true, a remarkable accomplishment! According to Cuauhtemoc Miranda Jaspeado (May 30, 12:24):
[T]he Anglo-Saxon culture is the most predatory culture, a murderous culture that goes spreading death throughout the world… this culture should be extinguished…
Doesn’t much sound like they want to assimilate.
  • América is a continent not a country
In the Spanish-language media, América is the entire Western Hemisphere. Therefore, everybody born in the hemisphere is an américano. This matters to Mexicans. Thus, Marcos (May 31, 13:48) said Americans “believe that their country is America, they don’t conceive that they are a group of territories and that they don’t even have a name.”
Still, I did note two other interesting reactions:
  • Mexicans need to improve Mexico
A few readers did say they should try to improve Mexico. One commenter even had a novel suggestion: make Mexico self-sufficient and then close the northern border and keep the gringos out!
  • Agreement
And there were a few readers who agreed at least partially with Ann.
Cheko Grana (May 30, 12:20) attracted the most attention by saying he partially agreed with Ann, having lived in a Mexico barrio in the U.S., which he hated. He eventually moved to a white neighborhood, where he was accepted.
Juan Castaneda (May 31, 14:09) wrote:
Everybody here feels offended by the words of this writer and they attack her because they know she is right. Besides, if they feel such disdain for this nation of immigrants, why don’t they return to theirs?
Gerardo (May 30, 20:36) concurred:
I wanted to hear somebody dare to say what this lady says is a lie. Unfortunately it’s the sad reality—that’s what we are….This lady put Jorge in his place, and I for my part congratulate her.
What can we learn from all of this? The intellectual culture in Mexico militates against most Mexican immigrants assimilating.
There is intense hostility to the U.S., inflated assessments of Mexican contributions—and outright plans to take over part or all of the country.
It’s yet more evidence that Ann is right: we need an immigration shutdown.

World News and Trends: Is Mexico the next threat to U.S. stability?





Printer-friendly version


Mexico's rise in crime, violence, drugs and kindnappings indicate it's headed towards an inevitable downfall. What will this mean for the United States?

Even in terms of annual legal crossings on the U.S.Mexican border, the estimated number of 300,000 makes it the world's busiest. Yet the possibility of a failed Mexican state ranks high among American international worries.
A regular column in the International Herald Tribune asked: "What do Pakistan and Mexico have in common? They figure in the nightmares of U.S. military planners trying to peer into the future and identify the next big threats. The two countries are mentioned in the same breath in a just-published study by the United States Joint Forces Command, whose jobs include providing an annual look into the future to prevent the U.S. military from being caught off guard by unexpected developments " (Bernd Debusmann, "Among Top U.S. Fears, a Failed Mexican State," Jan. 9, 2009, p. 2).
Both of these countries are close to the top in the reported rankings of failed states subject to rapid and sudden collapse. The dangers associated with Pakistan are more painfully obvious. A retired American intelligence analyst said in December 2008 that Pakistan is "one of the single most challenging places on the planet" (ibid.).
Mexico is more of a surprise. One paragraph in the article reflects the gravity of Mexico's plight: "Vicious and widening violence pitting the drug cartels against each other and against the Mexican state have left more than 8,000 Mexicans dead over the past two years. Kidnappings have become a routine part of Mexican daily life. Common crime is widespread. Pervasive corruption has hollowed out the state" (ibid.).
Mexico's governmental infrastructure remains under continual pressure and assault by drug cartels and other criminal gangs. The Joint Forces Command study plainly stated: "Any descent by Mexico into chaos would demand an American response based on the serious implications for Homeland Security alone. One minor indication is that the Mexican border town of Tijuana is now off-limits to American marines because of its increasing violence" (Chris Ayres, "You Wanna Die Tonight, Gringo?" The Times, Jan. 23, 2009, p. 2). (Sources: The Times [London], International Herald Tribune. )

Guatemalan Ambassador Says Children Not Fleeing Due to Violence

Julio Ligorria, the Guatemalan ambassador to the United States, said the surge of Guatemalan children traveling to the U.S. is not due to violence, as the Obama Administration has suggested.
Appearing on the Univision Sunday talk show "Al Punto" he said the surge is the result of: an interest in being with their parents; few opportunities at home; and the claims of smugglers who promise illegal-alien parents in the U.S. that the government will deliver their children.
Jorge Ramos, the host of the talk show suggested that children were leaving because of increased gang violence. But Ligorria rejected that notion saying the Guatemalan children were coming from north Guatemala, not the eastern part where gang violence has been concentrated. He said, "So violence is not the reason. It's essentially a matter of lack of opportunities, of trying to reach the American dream, but also to achieve family reunification. Many of the parents of these children are in the United States, and the children go to find them…The coyotes are taking advantage of the circumstances and conditions."
Ramos and Ligorria did not discuss whether the Administration’s "catch and release" policy is part of the decision-making process, but said his country will try to reintegrate the children returned to Guatemala and plans to educate parents and children about the dangers inherent in the trip north.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Tex., said the influx is creating a major strain for the Border Patrol. “If you’re just looking at the lower Rio Grande Valley we’re getting about 1,200 people a day,” Cueller said. “Over 70 percent of them are not from Mexico but from other places and 300 to 400 of them are young people coming in without parents. We’re facing a situation where the smuggling organizations know that if you send them to South Texas and they’re not Mexicans they’re from other countries there going to be released after awhile…Almost 40 percent of the Border Patrol Agents are not at the border they’re actually filling out paperwork, transporting, feeding, moving these folks around…After they’re housed for awhile they’re given a piece of paper and they’re asked to show up in 90 days or so, and I can tell you that probably 90% of them are not going to be showing up. Because after they traveled thousands of miles, paid a lot of money [to smugglers], went through a very dangerous situation they’re not going to turn themselves in.”
