Hmmm, seems like just yesterday I watched a video of the drug cartels using an IED to blow up Mexican army soldiers trying to patrol a known cartel area.
Sure, mexico is just like the US!
You need to re-think that. It’s coming to the USA.
I know whats coming, it’s already here. Just waiting till they pull the trigger.
One would be wise to avoid large public gatherings. Those are target ripe environments!
Even within Mexico there is a lot of fundamental variability.
Those northern valley enclaves never integrated into the rest of the country and they were too isolated for too long that the central government pretty much just let them develop in isolation with their own official and unofficial governments.
“They come here for the money, for the benefits.”
My goodness, whoda thunk it?
Meh-he-co is corrupt. They have a clear “Us” and “Them” within the country. The Little Brown People are seen as less than human. The wealthy SPANISH caste runs stuff for them selves.
Like lots of other Latin Countries, Padron runs it all and the peasants get scraps, if anything at all.
Wall is a good guy who sensibly presents the reality of Mexico and Mexicans.
The problem is, all this was known decades ago.
Mexico and Mexicans have attached themselves to the US like a giant leech and for the most part have been spectacularly successful: they have used the civil rights laws to claim that the US has no right to prevent them. An absurdity on its face - no sovereign nation has to kowtow to a foreign nation and its government, or else it isn’t sovereign.
The population of California under 18 is now 50% “hispanic”...virtually all Mexican. In 1970 that number was like 10%. “Mexican-Americans” — there’s no such thing — dominate the legislature and demand ethnic preferences for themselves at all levels: education, employment, political office.
They do so under the rubric of being a “minority” for federal civil rights purposes, but wherever they are a majority, they claim that gives them rights as well. Heads they win, tails they win.
The point that Wall is making then is that they are only here for the goodies, and they have an elaborate system of political interference set up to get the goodies. I would go further: they have successfully invaded and are setting up a de facto government on our soil. They have no loyalty to the Americans or the United States; their loyalty is to their own people and government next door.
Such people should be nowhere near our government or any other institutions.
Mexico has been a failed narco state for decades. They still exist only because they skim cartel incomes — kinda like the Mafia.
We have no obligation to help such a neighbor.
As I note above, the Mexicans who now dominate state legislatures in the West and have disproportionate influence through their consulates will make sure that we not only have such an obligation, but that it grows over time: we will pay for their children, their pensions, their medical needs and their personal wealth.
In hispanic society, forcing the victim of Mordida to hand over what he has to you is the sign of the true macho.
Word of the day: “Habanero”
“I lost the chance to play Cupid because I not Habanero!”
They have cartels and we have democrats.
Badges, we doan need no stinkin badges.
I would say you have a very uninformed opinion
It helps to understand first of all if people know that Mexico is not next to Gaza and it’s President is not named Sisi.
Rich Mexicans do not have a relationship akin to ours’ with the IRS.
Their money is usually trans-generational and they keep it offshore through conduits like Santander, and through holding companies.
“Rich” Mexicans, on the whole, know how to do very little but shop and manage their affairs. Some are afraid to leave the Mexico that looks the other way. They pay bribes incessantly for things like construction projects.
I am an expert, nominally at least, on this subject.
It is silly to think of the “rich” helping “the poor” out. The two classes are separate. Some treat their “help” well, but many do not. The poor are thrilled to work, and there is always another worker thrilled to take a man’s job if he has been away too long.
Never ask a rich Mexican to help you jump-start some poor sonofabitch’s car. He will have no idea how to do that.
Mexico is a failed narco-state. We shouldn’t allow anyone from Mexico to immigrate here.
Speaking of which, where is “Travis M.” these days?
Mexico is an amazing country.
