I actually expected greater participation. A colleague told me that it would be a massive demnstration that would make us wake up and take notice. She said that although she is fully American, if war broke out between the US and MExico, she would of course fight on the side of Mexico. She said we ought to realize that if war breaks out with Mexico, the drug cartels have more and better weapons than we do and they would win, that MExico would take back their land from the US (California?) if we try to build the wall - which is an act of agression against the people who make our way of life possible. This was a 30 year old college educated individual. She said some of this to me like she was kind of relishing breaking the bad news to me. As you can see, I haven’t quite come to terms with this entire conversation - particularly the part where she claims the full honor of being fully American (she is not undocumented) while explaining that her only recourse in the event of war with Mexico would naturally be to fight onthe side of mexico - -then she would be among those who would drive me out of California which I took from them???
She needs to study a little history of revolutions and invasions. Regardless of who “wins,” she’s going to be among the first to be lined up and shot. Nobody trusts a traitor, even if they’ve benefited from it.
Sadly, she is far from alone.
Not fully American if she is willing to fight for Mexico.
