BREAKING: Mexico sees Russian gambit in Ukraine as chance for American land grab
The Daily Caller ^ | 03/23/1014 | Eric Owens

On Friday, in Geneva, Mexico signaled alarm at the treatment of its large Mexican minority in the United States, comparing American actions to prevent the use of Spanish to attempts in Ukraine and Estonia to prevent the use of Russian.

While Mexico’s foreign policy has been generally benign toward the United States since hostilities in the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, the Latin-American country has been keeping a close eye on developing events in Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula.

Russia has maintained that annexation of the Crimea peninsula is justified because it has the right to protect Russian speakers outside of Russia’s borders.

Mexican political leaders have taken note, perhaps sensing an opportunity to gain long-lost territory and increase the size of its economy by expanding northward into areas currently administered by the United States.

Mexico has begun enthusiastically supporting protections for linguistic minorities, a Mexico City diplomat told the United Nations Human Rights Council.

“Language must not be used to segregate and isolate groups,” the diplomat said, according to details provided to The Daily Caller by the U.N. Mexico has officially expressed concern about “steps taken in this regard by belligerent elements in the United States.”

As an example, the Mexico City envoy mentioned a Texas middle school principal’s attempt to ban the use of Spanish in classrooms.

Hey offer them New Mexico Arizona and Southern California in return for forty foot walls and machine gun towers. If they turn that offer down tell them to come and get it. Then remind them that we have a Second Amendment and are armed. The cartels don’t have the strength to overcome a pissed off and determined America.

Why would they move back to that old cesspool when they are easily creating a new one to resemble it right here in our state with the aid of our Republicrat ruling class?

Americans are unwilling to even deal with illegals, and what makes you think the “American” government would even side with actual Americans?

The Mexican army isn’t eliminating crime; they’re eliminating the competition.

The USA isn’t run by cowards. It’s run by evil people who are actively aiding and abetting the invasion and occupation of our homes by foreigners (not just illegals and not just Mexicans) and displacing us from our own lands.

The real cowards (and fools) are the American people who have allowed this to happen without firing a shot.

It won’t be a piece of cake if the majority or Hispanics support the Mexican government, the federal government does nothing about it or even sides with the enemy, and most Texans are too old or to lazy to fight it.
