Re: Bush's Trip To Mexico Will Mark New Era
Click above headline to view articleFebruary 12, 2001
Smith and Wright report, "Bush and Fox can now take the opportunity of the upcoming meeting to chart a course for mutual cooperation over the next several years, said Secretary of State Colin L. Powell after talks in Washington last month with Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda."
Yet, on February 4, the New York Times reported: "'Our common border is no longer a line that divides us, but a region that unites our nations, reflecting our common aspirations, values and culture,"' said Colin Powell last Tuesday in Washington at his first news conference as secretary of state, held jointly with the new Mexican foreign minister, Jorge Casteneda..."
Why didn't the Los Angeles Times report this outrageous statement by Colin Powell? Why didn't the Los Angeles Times tell its readers that our Secretary of State has all but surrendered the sovereignty of the United States?
According to your story, "Ultimately, Fox wants NAFTA to be like the European Union, a far closer political, economic, social and cultural union," Doh said. "He talks about achieving it in 25 to 30 years but starting the process now." In fact, I heard candidate Fox tell a California Mexican audience he would open the border in five years. Listen to him say "five to ten years." http://www.americanpatrol.com/_TEMP/foxnoborders.rm
The Times talks about NAFTA but refuses to admit that most of our Mexican trade is with the maquiladora plants and not the Mexican people, and that these plants have created an environmental disaster along the border (New York Times, Feb. 11). http://members.tripod.com/~reconquista/MEXICO/borderdisasterNYT010211.html
The Times reports, "A 1999 migration project estimated that 7 million Mexican-born people were living in the U.S., including as many as 2.4 million illegal immigrants." But a study by Northeastern University researchers indicates that the illegal alien population could be as many as 11 million, compared to the INS estimate of 6 million. There may be as many as 8 million illegal Mexicans in the United States, not 2.4 million as the Times reports.

The Los Angeles Times continues its biased and distorted reporting of the Mexican immigration issue. By avoiding the truth it refuses to allow its readers to deal with the issues facing Los Angeles and California in a realistic and open fashion.
It was once said that those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable. The issue of Mexican hegemony in California and the American Southwest, sometimes called "la Reconquista," will surface eventually. Failure of the Los Angeles Times to report the truth almost guarantees that this emergence will be an eruption.
