ILLEGAL ALIEN MARCHES WARMLY SUPPORTED IN MEXICO by Allan Wall
They've been marching in the streets of our cities clamoring for "justice."
Throughout the land, they march - Denver, Sacramento, Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Phoenix and so on.
Their cause - fighting for the "rights" of illegal aliens and keeping our borders open.
The biggest march of all was March 25th in Los Angeles, Calif., where police estimated the multitude's numbers at 500,000: Half a million people.
That's impressive. Should we therefore give these people everything they want? Many of our politicians seem to think so.
The U.S. Constitution, however, doesn't include street protest as a form of legislation. In fact, the men who drafted our constitution were not fond of what they called "mobocracy." As James Madison put it in Federalist Paper #55, "Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob."
Many of the demonstrators are illegal aliens themselves. In other words, they don't even have the right to be in the country, yet they're telling us how to run things. That's chutzpah.
Their defenders assure us that illegal aliens are "living in the shadows."
It doesn't look to me like the people in the L.A. street march were living in the shadows. They were out in broad daylight, marching openly, without fear, dictating to us what our immigration law should be.
Some of them carried signs that read, "If you think I'm illegal' because I'm a Mexican learn the true history because I'm in my homeland."
Indeed, Mexican nationalism, ethnic chauvinism and downright racism were in evidence among L.A. protestors.
Why did so many display the Mexican flag if they are fighting for rights in the United States?
There were protestors with posters reading "Chicano Power" and "This is stolen land." Another poster bore the likeness of Mexican historical figure Emiliano Zapata with the slogan, "Viva Mexico."
Here in Mexico, where I (legally) reside, the L.A. march was called a "Megamarcha" and was warmly reported in the media.
But don't think for a second that Mexico would allow the same sort of nonsense to occur here. Mexico respects her sovereignty too much for that. Even we legal gringos are not allowed to participate in protest marches. In 2002, a number of Americans were immediately expelled for doing just that.
The Mexican Constitution's famous Article 33 gives the Mexican government the right to expel immediately, without right of appeal, any non-Mexican whose presence in the country is "deemed inconvenient."
But when illegal alien Mexicans march in the United States, that's considered a great thing.
In solidarity, a group of demonstrators (some carrying communist party banners) erected a cardboard wall in front of the U.S. Embassy, inscribing it with anti-American slogans.
In the Mexican Congress, it was announced that a document would be drafted, to show support for the protest marches in our country.
Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for President Vicente Fox, made this statement to support the marches: "The recent protests carried out in different places in the United States are indicative of the imminent necessity of a migratory accord that corresponds to the interests of both countries, and that especially to the defense of the rights of migrants. The government of the (Mexican) Republic ratifies its commitment to the Mexicans who live in the United States and its intention to work in the defense of their rights ..."
None of this is surprising. The L.A. protestors and the Mexican government share the same goals: legalize Mexican illegal aliens and keep the borders open.
The Mexican government sees it as a way to relieve economic pressure on the government to reform the economy. Mexico's leaders also work to retain the loyalty of emigrants so that, even if they become American citizens, they retain their loyalty to Mexico. And their plan is working.
Recently the Mexican government published advertisements in leading American newspapers calling for the legalization of illegal immigrants (in the United States, not in Mexico) and "a far-reaching guest workers scheme." Not only that, said the ads, but "in order for a (U.S.) guest workers program to be viable, Mexico should participate in its design, management, supervision and evaluation."
In other words, the Mexican government wants veto power over U.S. immigration policy.
And they might just get it.
After all, many in our own government are only too happy to oblige them.

Answer: "One by one"..
sw
I used to go to Mexico 1-2 times a year and enjoy their resorts through package deals. I quit 2 years ago and will never go back. Maine last year. Alaska this year. Italy next year. A small but heartfelt gesture. All I have control over is my money and where it goes. That includes liberal states, Hollywoods idiots, leftist TV-Radio advertizers and those businesses that support the liberals political efforts. Unfortunately the Feds and state steal about 50% off the top and it generally goes to the arses I would not give it to, but I have no control except through my one vote and it appears often there is little choice there either. Mexico can implode and rot in its own graft and socialism.
The Mexican language radio stations all over orchestarted the F__ing thing, probably with help from the MEXICAN GOVT..
Snowman is right.....and this whole thing is going to get real ugly before it gets better. I personally have seen them chanting Viva Mexico at a fourth of July fireworks display here in Washington State. They are not assimilating, just taking. It is all going to blow up in our faces one day.
I just bet more money came from supporters in this country than the Mexican Government. This who thing is not one bit about helping poor people from Latin American countries. legal or not. It is about one world government types and many of those are in the GOP. The illegals are just stupid pawns in their grand game.
The Mexican government encourages illegal immigration into the US as the money sent back is one of, if not the, largest industries in Mexico because Mexico is a corrupt, socialist hellhole. Why is Jorge Bush still on good terms with them if they're supporting essentially an invasion and annexation of US land? Why is this not treated as hostility towards us?
Don't bother answering, I'm pretty sure I know why.
I think we should make sure we still know how to deport people by deporting most of Congress.
This doesn't surprise me. Illegals send over $30 Billion back to Mexico annually propping up the Mexican economy and legitimizing the corrupt government of Vincente Fox.
What surprises me more is that George W. seems to constantly placate Fox making every effort to not offend Mexico.
I can't understand why George W. can stand up to Sadam and Al Queida but is afraid to take Fox head on. BUILD THE WALL, MOBILIZE THE NATIONAL GUARD, CLOSE THE BORDER, CASE CLOSED.
Reconquista Armando Navarro 'Ethnic Studies' Professor at the University of California, Riverside Anti-American, Fifth-Column Menace. "Ladies and Gentlemen, what this means (the immigration bill) is a transfer of power, it means control, and it is the young people, the people who are now moving to develop an agenda for the twenty first century they are going to be in a position to really make the promise of what the Chicano movement was all about in terms of self-determination, in terms of empowerment, even in the terms of an Aztlan...."
ARmando should be fired.
These blatant, massively organized and coordinated protests suggest to me that we are much closer to a showdown with invaders than I ever imagined. The illegals are a loosely-controlled, dangerous fifth column, not just poor folks looking for work. Real Americans had better stock up on plenty of ammo while they are still permitted -- they are going to need it.
He's on his way to Mexico today to talk to Fox about immigration, or so I heard on the news.
Or this is some "legacy" issue to him, given that he'll probably retire to Dallas, Texas where his library will be, and where Mexicans are increasingly taking over.
Now that's an interesting comment. Why would you do that? Does the POTUS make the laws? I thought that was the job of congress. Has he initiated amnisty? I thought that was Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Just what law do you plan to "impeach President Bush" under?
Perhaps if we had smarter people voting for congressmen, people who actually voted based on ideas instead of "charisma" we'd have lawmakers who wrote decent laws.
They are marching in the wrong place: They need to march in
Mexico City, because Mexico is the problem! Go back and fix
this dungheap of a third world country.
Yup. When the man's right, he's right.
I deem the undocumented people "inconvenient" so bye bye
The arrogance of these people----they have no fear of US laws, even to threatening to overthrow the US government.
