Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."

Mexico is becoming less and less socialist and more capitalist all the time, so the prospect of the country following Central America´s example is low.  What will the US do for wage slaves?  If anything, wages will be forced to go up and citizens and legal residents will reap the benefits.

This is some of what you are seeing in the news today about securing our borders, and prosecuting illegal immigration.  One of the new bills broached would actually scope in on the traffickers of illegal immigrants.  I hope it goes through, but other than some low budget movies there is not much publicity on the subject.  It should be paid more attention....and if you really care about the subject you will be the one to bring the attention.  Do some research, write a paper, and get it published...it's that simple.

It is happening more and more-and people are putting the pressure on Government and Sates.\n It is going to get tougher for Illegals as time goes by.\n\nWe are going to hear a lot of sour grapes.

Depends on which Mexican protest you re talking about.....\n\nMexico is protesting the plans to build new walls and send the National Guard to the 2,000-mile (3,200-km) border that hundreds of thousands of Mexicans sneak across every year in search of jobs.\n\nThousands of anti-government demonstrators marched through this tense colonial city on Sunday, demanding the security forces abandon camps they set up last week to end a five-month protest.The protests began in May when teachers struck for better pay and conditions in one of Mexico's poorest states. When police violently broke up one of their demonstrations in June, protesters expanded their demands to include the ouster of Oaxaca Gov. Ulises Ruiz, whom they accuse of rigging the 2004 election that brought him to power.\n\nPoll protests block Mexico City\nThe left-wing candidate in Mexico's disputed election, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his backers are occupying the capital's main square and avenues.

In California, we recently had "a day without Mexicans"... traffic was virtually painless, but... most of the businesses were closed.  \nIn just a city the size of LA, the economic implications, for labor and profit etc., are beyond explanation.\nWhat's going on is something that has been happening for hundreds of years... the only reason it is all of a sudden an "emergency" in the year 2006, is to take the focus off of the invasion of Iraq... and to keep simpler minds preoccupied with smaller issues. \nIt's the divide and conquer principle being driven upon us as Americans, who forget we are the offspring of immigrants, to distract us so we don't pay attention to the many different ways they are ransacking our future.

Nothing New About It\n\nhttp://www.limitstogrowth.org/WEB-text/aztlan.html\n\nIn 1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that \n“I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation \nextends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the ''conquista,'' \nSpain tried to impose on Mexico \na common western language, religion, and culture, \nand to the degree it was successful.  \nIt was also anti-American.  \nWe should remember \nthat the Spaniards were building the great cathedral \nat the Zocolo in Mexico City \na hundred years before George Washington \ntook control of the Continental Army \nat Cambridge, Massachusetts.  \nHere are two different world views, sharing the same continent.\n\nIn his article, Clash of Civilizations?, \nSamuel P. Huntington reminds us \nthat cultural differences may cause future wars, \nand that these wars will be along cultural ''fault lines.''  \n\nThe U. S.--Mexican border is one of those fault lines.  \n\nHuntington writes, \n''Civilization identity will be increasingly important in the future,\nand the world will be shaped in large measure \nby the interactions among seven or eight major civilizations \n\nThe most important conflicts of the future \nwill occur along the cultural fault lines \nseparating these civilizations from one another.'' \n\nIn regard to Mexico, Huntington writes, \n''During the past decade, \nMexico has assumed a position \nsomewhat similar to that of Turkey. \nJust as Turkey abandoned its historic opposition to Europe \nand attempted to join Europe, \nMexico has stopped defining itself \nby its opposition to the United States \nand is instead attempting to imitate the United States.''  \nHowever, \nunlike Canada, \nMexico has a large, nonwestern, indigenous population \nthat has not yet been integrated into modernity.  \nThis native population also carries \nan unconscious weight of resentment \ntowards the Spanish conquest, \nwhich it now mistakenly displaces onto the U. S. \n\nMexico's indigenous population \nis one of the contemporary strains in that society.  \nSub-Comandante Marcos \nand the uprising in Chiapas of indigenous people \nis a prediction of what is to come in Mexico \nif that strain cannot be relieved.\n  \nThe Mexican elites have decided, therefore, \nto reduce this strain by sending north \nas many poor and jobless Mexicans as they can.  \nInstead of solving their own problems, \nwhich might entail a reduction of their status, \nthe ruling Mexican elites have decided to keep the fiesta going\nand let the U. S. handle the cleanup. \n\nA top adviser \nto past Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari \ndescribed to Huntington all the changes \nthe Salinas government was making.  \nWhen the advisor finished, Huntington remarked: \n''That's most impressive.  \nIt seems to me that basically you want to change Mexico \nfrom a Latin American country into a North American country.''\nHe looked at me with surprise and exclaimed: \n''Exactly!  \nThat's precisely what we are trying to do, \nbut of course we could never say so publicly.'' \n \nWhat also could not be said publicly \nis that Mexico wants to reclaim its ''lost'' territory.  \nIt will use economics and illegal immigrants to do this.\n\nMany Mexican elites believe that to become a modern nation,\nMexico has to restructure its economy \nand regain the territory it lost during the first Mexican war.  \nFor over a century, \nMexican nationalists have used the myths and symbols \nof a lost but glorious indigenous past \nto motivate its plans for expansion. \n \nD. H. Lawrence wrote about this myth building in his novel, \nThe Plumed Serpent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the ''reconquista'' continues unchecked \nfor the next twenty years, \nthe U. S. will be a fundamentally different society than it is today.\n\nThere will be more poverty and low-wage jo

I think it summarizes the current situation quite nicely.  Unfortunately, at the rate the things are going, if there is an amnesty, it will result with more than half of population of Mexico moving to the US, which will undoubtedly destroy this country.  So, to use your analogy, the parasites will consume the host and take over it to basically turn it into a province of Mexico.  Throughout history, no country that did not protect its borders has ever survived.

Yeppers, november can't get here fast enough...and if the democrats have their hats on straight, they'll be pushing for nailing the damn border shut. TIGHT. Americans are getting robbed, that's all there is to it, the politicians got us coming, and going, it's time for reform, and for people to reclaim their lives, their wallets, their freedoms, and stop letting the hispanic lobby from trying to usurp our national independence. They're actively involved in our government, as you just illustrated, and Mexico needs to stand up, and wipe its' own ass instead of living off the United States Of America. Let's de-globalize a bit, and let the rest of the world take care of itself, for a change. If they can't, well, sucks to be them...

People in the USA have absolutely no idea of what's at stake this time. People are facing a difficult choice, not a single candidate is worth a damn so the answer is to choose the one least likely to do more harm than has already been done. The candidates are:\n\nAndrés Manuel López Obrador - a Hugo Chavez wannabe. (honestly do you really want some guy like that running your next door neighboring country) Populist extreme who will set Mexico back by at least 25 years.\n\nRoberto Madrazo - Of the PRI, the longest ruling dictatorial party in Mexican history (70 YEARS) they lost the presidential election in 2000. Now they claim they learned their lesson and that they know how to govern, and that this time they will do it right.  Nope, not a good choice, corrupt and sneaky, definitely no way. YOu can't teach an old dog new tricks.\n\nFelipe Calderon - from the PAN the party of the elite, the wealthy, businessmen, and very very very involved with the catholic church. He will at the very least continue Mr. Fox's work. I still don't know if that is a good or bad thing, but one has to understand that trying to fix 70 years of corruption and mismanagement in 6 years is not possible.  Maybe he's the only kind of safe choice.\n\nPatricia Mercado - Well educated, expresses herself very well, good ideas, but she's a woman and in Mexico she does'nt have a fighting chance at all.\n\nThe devaluation rumor has been strong only if Lopez Obrador gets to be President, because as in the past, the rich will immediately transfer all their money to the USA and of course that means a devaluation. Yep, we Mexicans know about devaluations, lived with it for at least 30 years.\n\nAnd by the way. Mexico is not a third world country, the term is not even in use anymore. Mexico is far better off than many other nations. Regardless of a host of bad governments, bad presidents, bad choices, bad decisions. There are good people here who just want a dignified life and job opportunities to do so.
