Video from Reconquista California (video and pictures)

Please take a minute and view this presentation and see what is fighting against America. 98% of Americans have no clue that these people will do just about anything to keep illegal immigration alive and well in the U.S. Of note, most of these pictures were taken in the past 12 months and I have been present at some of these rallies and seen this ugly racism and anarchy up close. This is graphic, but you need to understand this is right here in Southern California and elsewhere. These are not just a few wackos, this is a large and organized movement in our society.

So next time you ask yourself how did it ever get this bad, remember this piece. I hope after seeing this you'll get involved and help us secure the border.

That is exactly how I feel. The school around the corner from us is overrun with illegals. My daughter starts kindergarten in 2 years and you can be assured she will be going to the private school at our church. It does really burn me up, though, that I am paying for illegal immigrants' education, and then paying another $4k/year for my daughter's education as well. Something has to be done!!

Look at the bright side. You found out in advance so you can put your child in a competent school instead of falling behind in a public school trashed by babysitting illegals. Another of my co-workers from a prior employer took one of her sons out of publich school and tried the private route. He was doing so much better after 6 months that she pulled the rest of her kids out of public school and enrolled them in the private school. It is a major financial hardship, but she has nothing but glowing praise for the vastly improved levels of instruction and achievement.

My youngest son fell behind in the San Diego school system. It appeared he was doing fine based on grades and "self esteem". We moved to Idaho and it was clear that he was way behind grade level. The Idaho teachers weren't willing to make any effort to help him catch up. I now have an 18 year old dropout. It was frustrating to watch him bring home report cards with A's and F's.

OK, I take back my pointed reply. We are on the same sides of this debate but I think that most frustrated conservatives think that it's very simple -- greedy business owners who want cheap labor and gleeful liberals who want more easy votes and a dewhitening of the populace.

But the reason that young Mexican-Americans claim to want to take back "their" land is not because they are racist, but because they were TAUGHT what they are saying, not by their uneducated (and probably illegal) parents but by their American teachers and American media. That d-ckhead in Colorado nwhose diatribe got recorded is one example.

In a sense I can't blame them for being so angry and holding up those placards. To them, it's just what they've taken for granted for so long. And now, when Americans want to reclaim the culture, the history, and the border, the radicalized Mexican-Americans think they are being deprived of what is theirs.

The analog is an easement on property. Suppose that you have a huge property lot; and that passing over your lot shortens distances by people walking from one end of town to another. Well, technically they're tresspassing but you ignore the problem for 20 years because it's really not doing any harm. But if you decide to crack down, then the users of those paths on your property will put up a hue and cry over being denied access, even though it's your property, even though they were technically tresspassing. [The law is on their side too, by the way.]

America has given illegal Mexicans an easement on prosperity for the past 35 years. Free education, free healthcare, free welfare and housing assistance, nominal enforcement of immigration laws, plus an education that tells them they're only taking back what was rightfully theirs. They didn't bring it from home. They got it from here.

As much as I want to send them all home, in a sense I don't blame them for complaining.
