On Putting Mexico Back In Its Place – Underneath America

Mexico is like that unwanted wart, scab or pimple (any type of blemish) that appears somewhere on our body, that the more we “pick” at it the more of a nuisance, and the more problematic, it becomes for us.  But the more we try to ignore it, the more the irritation grows.  In other words, we’re damned if we do anything, we’re damned if we don’t.  And with Mexico, like the irritating scab that pops up on our being from time to time, sometimes we just give in to the “itch” and scratch it.  The problem with “giving in to the itch” of course is that it only makes the problem – the pimple, scab, whatever – worse that it was before we scratched it.

Mexico is a third world nation.  It has no one to blame for its lowly status but itself.  And despite the fact that America has done more for Mexico, given more aid, support and money, than any other nation in the world, still – Mexicans love to hate America.  Its politicians in particular, as one would gather listening to them speak about (vilify) America, especially those Mexican politicians vying to be its next President.

America’s newest scab (boil it you prefer) is former Mexico City Mayor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is speaking his hate of America all across, of all places, American cities. (A tradition, it seems, with Mexican politicians running for President of Mexico.)

Said Obrador:

It is more effective and humane to implement cooperation in order to reach development, rather than insisting on giving priority to police and military cooperation.”

What could he possibly mean by “cooperation” other than more financial aid – money?  He wants America to stop defending its border with Mexico, where all Mexicans trying to illegally gain access to America go, because America is preventing them from attaining their goal of illegal entry.  Obrador wants America to open up our border and simply ignore the rush of Mexicans crossing over to the American side.  And once they are inside America, Obrador wants us to accept them as American citizens.  (Another tradition of Mexican Presidents)

Obrador continued:

It is not with military assistance or intelligence work, helicopters or weapons shipments that we will remedy the insecurity and violence problem in our country.”

Really?  At a time when Mexican drug cartels are more violent than ever, and that violence is spilling across into America, Obrador wants America to cease and desist from defending us, our border, to come to the aid of Mexico, not with “military assistance” or “helicopters” but with a huge chunk of our money confiscated in taxes; money we earned working our butts off, to make a life for ourselves and our families.

And what exactly would Obrador do with this money if, and once, he possesses it?

Said Obrador:

To incorporate young people back into Mexican society by giving them jobs and schools to continue their studies.”

In other words, Obrador would do with our money exactly what Obama wants to do with it – create a few hundred thousand public sector jobs that grow the size of government, forces more and more people to become fully dependent upon government to live their lives, but doesn’t do anything for the economy itself.  That type of socialistic approach doesn’t work in America, it doesn’t work anywhere in the world – it never has – nor would it work in Mexico.  It’s a waste of money any way you look at it.

If Mexico really wants America to pour billions and billions of dollars into its coffers; if Mexico really wants to put an end to its poverty, to put its “remaining” citizens back to work and become a nation where people are eager to flee to, and become a proud citizen of, instead of risking life and limb to escape from, it – Mexico – ought to open up its own borders and its land to American entrepreneurship, business and investment.

There is a golden opportunity for our two nations to join in partnership for the economic benefit of one another.  Mexicans needs jobs too, just as Americans do.  If Mexico really wants to see billions, tens and hundreds of billions, of American dollars pumped into its country, its economy, that can happen by bringing American business, investment and entrepreneurs into Mexico, opening up its land at low cost, in exchange for paying Mexicans a very fair wage – the equivalent of 9 or 10 U.S. dollars.

Mexico’s woes will not be solved by America giving it a chunk of “financial aid”, the vast bulk of which will ultimately find its way into the pockets of the corrupt, politician and drug lord alike.  Mexico’s woes will not be solved by America laying down its guard at the border, opening itself up to whatever wants to cross its path.  Mexico’s woes will not be solved by acquiescing to left leaning, socialist politicians like Obrador who demand American dollars, our money, at the same time he continues to slander us.

So long as Mexico continues down this path, it will remain a third world country of its own free will, and an irritating scab under the skin of America.  Fortunately, just as there are ointments for scabs, warts, pimples and the like, America has its own ointment to deal with the irritation that is Mexico.  We have our border fence, border security and patriotic Americans and American politicians, who are no longer doing nothing to curb the stem of illegal immigration into our country.

Mexico either can engage in a real partnership with America and become a nation on par with America, or it can see more of its citizens being returned, via Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to the poverty, the nothingness, they originally fled from, looking for a better opportunity than their own third world nation could provide.

Until then, Mexico’s place will rightly remain where it is – “underneath” America.

What say you, Mexico?

It’s “IL” legal Immigration, Stupid…

So, illegal is the new legal?

It is if you are a Democrat politician and desperate for every vote you can scrape together to win your election.  Hell, Democrats steal the names of dead people; those too young to even vote; the unborn (and possibly soon to be aborted); cats, dogs and other non humans; people pretending to be someone they are not, cartoon characters, etc..

Democrats will take any name they can get their greedy, corrupt hands on to win back and secure political power, political influence, political dollars.  There is no spot so low in which a Democrat will not stoop, will not stump, for votes.  So of course they would not overlook people in this country who came here via illegal means, and are thus illegal aliens.  Of course Democrats would not overlook an opportunity to exploit, take advantage – use –  another group of people for their own political advantage, to save and protect their own political rear ends.

Nobody knows the exact number of illegal aliens that are in America.  It’s 12 million at the low end, 20 million at the high end.  We know Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to all the illegals who were here back in the 1980’s.  And we now know, as we have known for a long time, what a great and grave mistake that turned out to be.

We further know that granting amnesty to the new crop of illegal aliens that are here now, or even providing them with a “pathway to citizenship”, will only encourage others to travel to America illegally, by any means they can, no matter the perils, for an opportunity to step foot on American soil and claim their right to be an American citizen just like all the other illegal aliens that came before them.

And we have hundreds of bozos, clowns, worthless and no nothing legal American citizens right now protesting on Wall Street, and other cities across America, decrying what a terrible, miserable, uncaring, selfish country America is.  At the same time millions of people all around the world are trying (and mostly through legal channels) to come to America so they too can live the American Dream these puppets and drones on Wall Street so revile and loathe.  The many freedoms and liberties, the rights guaranteed under a unique constitution, and capitalism are the reasons billions of people around this world envy America and wish they too could be Americans.

How many people try to sneak into Cuba or Venezuela?  Or Iran or Syria for that matter?.  How many people from East Berlin ever tried to sneak into West Berlin?  Maybe only if they were spies.  It’s America everyone in the world tries to sneak into if they can’t get here legally.  People trying to sneak into America from Central America often have to sneak  into and across Mexico first.  That same Mexico, which soils itself every time the American government tries to enforce its policy on illegal aliens and deport those, from Mexico, who are here illegally, back to Mexico.  Because God knows Mexico doesn’t want them back!  That same Mexico, when they find people in their country illegally Mexico has a different approach to solving its own illegal alien crisis.

As states like Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and others try to bring the illegal alien crisis under control within their own states, predictably, liberals, Democrats, otherwise anti-Americans and so called “immigrant rights” groups like La Raze, MALDEF, the ACLU, and others, including President Barack Hussein Obama, are also soiling themselves.

It’s all more political theater, however.  Democrats don’t care about these people any more than their own countries do.  But because the population of Hispanics is growing in America, anything Democrats can do to secure their vote, no matter how cheap and tawdry, immoral and unethical, inhuman and inhumane – Democrats will do, even if it means reaching to the bottom of a bottomless pit.

And no matter what you call them, “migrant workers”, “undocumented workers”, or anything else, they are still here illegally, without citizenship; hence – illegal aliens.  And we have a right to deport them forthwith, ASAP, as we arrest them and process them, first ensuring they are not wanted for committing crimes here in America.  No other country in the world does, or is expected to grant amnesty to anyone who enters their country illegally; no other country in the world is so condemned, so reviled, so criticized – expect America – when we enforce our laws and deport those who are here illegally.

There is no such thing as an “undocumented worker”, and there is not a single migrant worker in America, who is here illegally, that has a claim to all the rights of an American citizen.  Even migrants here legally cannot claim those rights.  But at least they had the courtesy and common decency, and respect, to come to America through proper channels.  And what does America do for them?  America tells them to wait in the back of the line, in the back of the bus (or under it) while it processes those people which came into America illegally first.  That only makes sense to a liberal Democrat.

What must go on in the mind of someone who is willing to disregard rule of law, sneak into America via illegal channels, and then once they are here, and have eluded capture for a time, claim they have some fictitious right to be an American citizen, and enjoy all the rights of an American citizen guaranteed under our Constitution?  What kind of impudence, arrogance, self-deprecation is controlling and restraining them from thinking clearly and rationally?

Yes, there is always the “sob” story to go along with why they had to “risk life and limb” to come here, even if it meant doing so illegally.  And the “we just want to work” mantra; the “we do the work Americans won’t do” gibberish, and whatever excuse can be made for why they could not wait in line like the others who did come here legally.  And how we have to “slap in the face” every legal immigrant vying for American citizenship through proper, legal channels so that we can cater to the needs and wants – and outright demands, as ridiculous as they are, to those illegal immigrants who maintain, wrongfully, they have a right to become American citizens now.

And we might stomach these stories; we might feel empathy and remorse and understanding.  But not when so many of them are out there in the streets of America protesting that they should have, or already have, full American rights, despite the fact they are illegal aliens, that are not being recognized; not when they are out there condemning, ridiculing, denouncing America as evil, as occupiers, as land grabbers and thieves.  And not when they are being prodded and urged on by inconceivably corrupt, unconscionable deviants and predators like MALDEF, La Raza and the ACLU who feed off the anguish, the heartache, the suffering of these people.

There is a reason for borders.  There is a reason for protecting those borders that we have.  There is a reason why we have laws and why those laws mean something.  There is a reason for why we invest the capital, the resources, the man power into ensuring both our borders and our laws remain enforced, intact and secure.  There is a reason for why “good fences make good neighbors”.  And there is a difference between the meaning of legal and illegal.  They are not one in the same, nor are the inseparable.

And if and when those reasons cease to exist, or mean anything, or become so lax, so watered down and not worth fighting for, then what?  When America becomes the only country in the world without laws, or meaning of those laws; when America becomes the only country in the world without borders, or enforcement and security for those borders; when America becomes the only country in the world where “il” legal really is the new legal, what then?

And what will the people think to rename it?  And how will they hold power before someone else takes it away?  And what, then, will they remain it, before someone else comes and takes it away and renames it?  And so forth, and so on…

Remember the fall of the Roman Empire?  The Dark Ages?
