Open letter to the Mexican Consul General in San Diego

3/12/03 -- [Links added by AmericanPatrol.com for reference purposes]

Good Morning Mr. Consul General:

Reference is made to your comments in yesterday's Los Angeles Times about last Sunday's crash of a van carrying illegal aliens. There wasn't a single word of yours about the fact that these illegal aliens had criminally breached the borders of the United States of America. Also not a single word that the criminal driver of this van was traveling at speeds of 95 MPH. The two tragic deaths and score of injuries aren't the fault of U.S./California law enforcement officials. They're partially the fault of the Mexican government that encourages such illegal activities.

The Times quoted you as charging the CHP of "gross negligence" for using spike strips in pursuits that have reached speeds of nearly 100 mph. "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know what the consequences are going to be, even if they don't hit the spikes,"

And Mexican Consul Generals don't have to be rocket scientists to know there are law enforcement consequences for illegal entry. If you would spend more effort in attempting to abide by our laws instead of making Jeanne d'Arc victimhood statements, you'd begin to get a clue.

For most of Mexico's long history, she's been a country where a small band of despotic and mercenary white men have systematically smothered the aspirations of a subjugated majority of brown men. Mexico's sub-rosa policy for much of the 20th-Century has been the export of millions of its poorest and most uneducated citizens into the United States. It's the Mexican Government's way of avoiding revolution by diverting these impoverished people into the U.S. to keep them from marching on Mexico City. 

The cornerstone of Mexico's economic programs is coercing the United States to act as a sponge for millions of uneducated & unskilled Mexicans by encouraging them to enter the United States illegally, - - so as to relieve internal social pressures. And once here, to make their presence permanent.Mexico has made it a foundation of its economic programs to pressure the U.S.to offer massive social services to its nationals living here, including illegal aliens. This includes the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, the wider provision of medical, welfare, education and employment services, including in-state college tuition rates. Not content with the forgoing, President Fox demands amnesty for all Mexican illegals, increased numbers of legal immigration visas, and on top of that, massive guest worker programs to solve non-existent labor shortages.

The chickens have finally begun to come home to roost with the ugly realization that the 2.6 million illegals here in California are costing taxpayers nearly $6 billion annually. Los Angeles County's underground cash economy is a fiscal disaster, with an estimated 28% of the workforce (mostly illegal immigrants) paid in cash, thus depriving the safety net of an estimated $1.1 billion annually. L.A. County has just voted to close 16 community clinics, and reduced by 25% funding for its network of private clinics partnering with the County. In addition to this, within the last decade, 50 emergency rooms and 17 trauma centers throughout Southern California have closed their doors, all because they couldn't afford to keep them open because of the exponentially increasing numbers of uninsured patients that include critical masses of illegal aliens.

Southern Californian particular has become a Mecca for Mexican and other alien criminals, who made up 23 percent of County inmates in 2000, the last year for which there are statistics. That percentage has doubled over the last decade, costing county taxpayers more than $150 million annually.

I think Victor Hugo nailed it when he said, "There is one thing stronger than all the kings and queens, and all the armies of the world combined, and that is the power of an idea whose time has come". And that idea is that in the final analysis, no democratic society can indefinitely allow a relentless flood of illegal immigrants to contravene its laws, violate its borders, overwhelm its infrastructures and social systems, diminish employment possibilities for its indigenous uneducated and poor, and degrade its way of life, as is happening here in California. 

Tick tick tick tick.
