THINKING ABOUT THE MEXICAN INVASION A BIT MORE
Nealz Nuze ^ | 05/11/2006 | Neal Boortz

OK ... working off the premise that I never have an original thought ... let me share something that occurred to me last night whilst I was listening to a few minutes of the Michael Savage show. It is truly perplexing to try to figure out just why our government won't respond to the Mexican invasion. Eight out of ten Americans want the border closed ... yet the politicians who are supposed to be listening to us do absolutely nothing.

Twenty-five million illegals have crossed the border from Mexico into the United States since 1990, and the only actions our elected officials have taken is to legitimize about 13 million of these criminals through various amnesty programs. Nothing else.

Just yesterday the House Judiciary Committee, which is under the control of Republicans by the way, rejected an effort to end the a requirement for bilingual ballots in many states. You're supposed to be a citizen to vote, and if you aren't a natural born citizen you must pass an English proficiency test to become one. So, why the need for bilingual ballots? Could it possibly be because these politicians know, and quietly support the fact, that people who speak Spanish and who are not citizens regularly vote in this country?

Also just yesterday we learned of reports that the U.S. Border Patrol, under the control of the Executive Branch of government, is informing the Mexican government as to the location of the Minutemen boarder watch group. Although our government says that the report is "inaccurate," the locations of those Minutemen activities do show up on a Mexican website maintained by the Mexican government. Minutemen leaders have charged that Mexican troop transports cross our borders with Mexico regularly carrying loads of illegals. How can we be surprised by this considering the fact that Mexican president Vicente Fox refers to these illegals as "heroes." The Mexican Army helping illegals by carrying them across the border? Now you tell me that this isn't an invasion.

So ... why absolutely nothing from our government? Why, in the name of all common sense, haven't the borders been shut down? Could it possibly be that the Mexican invasion is actually welcomed by our politicians?

How could that be? Well ... I'm not what you would call a conspiracy nut, but let me just drive something into the parking lot here to see if it dents any fenders. I'm going to connect our government's apparent support for the Mexican invasion with government education. A stretch? You figure that one out for yourself.

It is clear -- you can't argue with me on this one -- that our system of government education has produced a population that has limited, at best, knowledge of our country's history and of our system of government and how it is supposed to operate. The average male citizen of any state would be more likely to know the names of the head football coaches of the two largest colleges or universities in that state than he would the name of that state's two senators. Most people -- and we're talking 90% plus -- of the people in this country could not name their two senators, their congressman, and the person who represents them in both houses of their state legislature. Americans, thanks to state-controlled education and with no small amount of help from the media, actually believe that America is supposed to be a democracy, and don't understand the danger of that form of government. We're focused on sports and entertainment celebrities while we ignore the very people who can actually have a profound impact on how we live our lives. Is this by accident?

Allow me to propose to you that this is entirely by design. Politicians drunk on political power, prestige and perks are well-served by an ignorant electorate. They can buy their way into office election after election by offering the government as a replacement for personal responsibility and nifty little spending projects (pork) back at home. The more informed the people are, the greater their understanding of just what type of government we're supposed to have and how it is supposed to work, the more precarious the hold the politician has on power.

So ... accepting the premise that politicians actually benefit from an ignorant and ill-informed body politic, why would they not seek ways to further dilute the level of knowledge and awareness in the voters? And what better way than to enable a flood of millions upon millions of "immigrants" who know little about our form of government and show little inclination to learn? Oh, you say they can't vote? Tell that to Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez of Southern California. Ms. Sanchez was elected on the strength of votes from non-citizen Hispanics in Orange County in 1996. An attempt by the Republicans to investigate that election was denounced by Democrats as "racist" and the investigations stopped. Remember ... there are active movements in many areas heavily populated with non-citizen Latinos, most of which are here illegally, to allow them to vote in local elections.

Eight out of ten Americans want the borders closed. Nothing is being done. There has to be a reason.

An interesting take on why our elected officals won't represent the electorate on the Mexican invasion.

He is 100% correct when he says there has to be a reason. I do not agree with his hypothesis though.

I would argue that it probably boils down to money. I don't have time to go into depth but when it comes to politics, doesn't it always come down to money?

The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America -- and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:

· It takes pressure off the 25 families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees that they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!

· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.

While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.

Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.

Hogwash!

I've got my head in the sand and I'm keeping it there.

He is right.

There is more to this than meets the ignorant eye.

BOTH parties are groveling for the Hispanic vote in a most demeaning way.

The keywords going up are funny. Hillaryslittletrolls? I guess anyone concerned about the flood of illegals over the border and the fact that politicians on both sides refuse to do anything about it are now considered trolls. LOL, where's that clean-up girl graphic?

The first thing to cross
my mind in that parking lot:

540 ELECTED MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS ARE IN ON THE
PLOT? How the Hell do
they keep that secret?
You're suggesting that
our officials have created
the biggest Skull and Bones
Society ever! I think SOME
of the guys who got ousted
during the elections over
the past 20 years just might
go public!

I also suspect the drug trade is a BIG factor.

The funny thing is, the Americans here that are some flavor of Hispanic that get up every morning to go to work just like the workers in other racial and ethnic groups don't really care about the groveling and pandering; they do care about having a decent country to raise a family and all the joys that entails.

While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge.

Throughout recorded time, and probably since the end of the Neolithic Age, there have been three kinds of people in the world, the High, the Middle, and the Low....The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are....
Well, that's my thoughtcrime for the day.

I tend to think it's votes on the D side of the aisle and money on the R side. I don't think it's some grand conspiracy involving both parties getting together in some smokey room and coming up with some plan. Both sides have their reasons for wanting to keep the floodgates open.
