INVASION PLANS REVEALED

Sunday, November 17, 2002

As reported earlier today by the Associated Press in an article "Official: Immigration plan in works" (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/4540769.htm) that quoted Mr. Tony Garza, the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Bush administration and the U.S. Congress are still considering "giving legalized residency to as many as 15 percent of undocumented workers" from Mexico and may increase the number of temporary work visas. That in itself is not a revelation taking into account President Bush's long known attempts to facilitate mass importation of cheap labor. What is really disturbing, though, are the expectations of the Mexican side of what they perceive a fair deal for their people.

According to the cited above article, Mr. Fox, Mexican president, continues to push for a blanket amnesty for "the estimated 8 million to 11 million Mexican citizens living and working in the United States without proper documentation. " According to that information, that's about 4% of the total population of the U.S. - roughly one in every 25 people in the U.S., toddlers and school children included, is allegedly an illegal Mexican alien. A number big enough to cause insomnia in most Americans, should the "main stream" media ever report that news to them.

And it's not just the legalization of 10 million Mexicans who came to this country in violation of our immigration laws that Mr. Fox & Co. are trying to accomplish. They want much more. They want what to grant them what Mr. Garza, during an interview with a Mexican newspaper "Reforma", referred to as "automatic citizenship". Although Mr. Garza indicated that "giving automatic citizenship to those who entered the United States illegally could be construed as discouraging legal migration", this argument did not fly well with Dee Zuniga, with the Bedford chapter of LULAC, who, according to the Associate Press, said that "legal residency isn't enough" and that "a citizenship program for undocumented workers is needed."

"If I go to another country and I'm trying to make a life there, I'd want the benefits of being a citizen and be able to go and bring back my external family [from Mexico]," Zuniga said, according to the Associated Press. A legalized immigrant from Mexico, Jorge Monzon, was quoted saying: "The only thing that's really different when [legalized aliens] are not citizens is they are not allowed to vote, If they are going to be legally in the U.S. they should be allowed to decide who is going to be the leader."

That's right. They want the benefits for themselves and their families. They want their "automatic" citizenship as if it were their God given right, an award for illegally skipping the American border. And they don't want all of these because of their admiration for American culture, intention to renounce their allegiance to Mexico, or out of their will to become mainstream Americans who speak English, wear business attires Monday through Thursday, respect the law and other people's rights, and love this country. No, they have no desire to assimilate and get Americanized. They want to get these things in order to elect the government of their liking. The government who will bow to the pressure of "Latino voters and to the demands of their "Hispanic" organizations and caucuses. The government that would help them to acquire the living space for them and their numerous children. The government that will help them transplant their language and their culture from Mexico right to the U.S. The government that would tax you and me to give them head start on their journey to a better life. ("To improve their lives" as they say.)

Emilio Garcia, with the Grapevine branch of the LULAC insisted that all those "who are willing to work" should be included in the legalization program. He was quoted saying: "There's a difference between workers who want to work and those that are here for drug trafficking, for example." Yeah, right. There are two kinds of Mexicans who illegally cross the American border. Drug traffickers (and, perhaps, other criminals) and the "undocumented" workers. Before they decided to come here, they clearly divided the responsibilities. The traffickers will peddle the illegal drugs and get involved in other criminal activities. The workers will just beak the law once while hopping the American border (well, may be one or two more times while obtaining illegally a driver's license and buying forged work authorization documents), and once out of corrupt Mexico they will become a 100% law abiding citizens.

Horse's feather, I say.

The absurdity of the above demands becomes even more obvious once one realizes that they weren't even invited here; they broke our law in the process of coming. (For those business-minded people who say "We need their cheap labor" I have one reply: we need them about as much as we needed cheap contraband whiskey during the prohibition and as much as we need cheap smuggled crack cocaine in our schools today.) They came here not because we wanted them but because they needed our country and its economy to pay for the consequences of their high fertility rates and their country's inability to provide for their skyrocketing population. They, actually, gave us no chance to say if we wanted them, their families, and the bills for their "free" education, public health care, government (read: you and me) subsidized housing and for their other "benefits". They just crossed the border. Now, would someone, please, tell me why it isn't called "an invasion"? I claim it is an open invasion, supported by Mexican government (that doesn't even bother to hide its hostility towards foreign policy of the U.S.), FCC-approved Spanish language TV and Spanish language press, and potent fifth-column "Latino and "Hispanic organizations. A call to arms seems very much in order. Unless we want to give them what they want: our money, our land, our government, our country. Or unless we think that some twisted interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and laws of this land leave us no choice but to give America away to the invaders. Because "we are a nation of immigrants."

Fat chance.

I can tell the language twisters, who ignore the clause "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the U.S. (as if it were a meaningless ornament of speech) in order to perpetuate the idiotic practice of awarding the American citizenship to millions of children of illegal aliens, that I have their twisted logic "right here". I can tell the anti-American agitators for "multiculturalism" and "diversity" to go and stuff themselves. No matter what those morons say, I am not going just to sit back and watch the Mexican invaders conquer America. Nor am I going to embrace them. I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore. Are you?
