Wall: Illegal Aliens Have 'Chutzpah'
News Max ^ | March 29, 2006 | Allen Wall

Posted on 03/29/2006 1:36:31 PM PST by yoe

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.

The really amazing part is that they all arrved in just twelve Dodge Minivans.

Clarification:
I am a Republican but not for the purpose of kissing up to the boss, developing a slave mentality and fighting against other slaves.

If business leaders want to work with men like myself in our community, they'll sign contracts with us and abide by those (no one-way civil systems). Immoral/illegal tactics to feed their spoiled rotten vanities only drive us to buy from and work with businesses elsewhere.

They are just as bad as our leaders who allow this to happen. It's all about greed, and America is on the chopping block because of it. Greedy Democrats, greedy Republicans, greedy employers. Sell-outs all.

QUICKVOTE

Do you believe that the illegal employers of the 11 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the United States also should be granted amnesty?

We are indigenous. The only owners of this Continent

When the blood of the conquistadors, the Spanish grandees and the Hidalgo runs in your veins.

You've got some 'splainin to do. (with apologies to the late Ricky Ricardo).

The ones that don't originate in Spain originate in Siberia.

No one on this continent is indigenous.

Congress should adopt the same measures and include this in our own constitution. I regard the thousands of non-Americans waving Mexican flags and screaming anti-American garbage to be more than just "inconvenient". Expel them all.

Heh, there's something I don't understand, and I've been wondering about this for years. Why does the Mexican government encourage their own people to immigrate to different countries? Doesn't it say something ... something bad ... about their own country and leadership? Why aren't they out there cleaning up their own country and telling their citizens not to leave?

The only thing I can think of, and it's a doozy of a conspiracy theory is that the Mexican government is hoping to retake? takeover? our country, not by force but by sheer numbers. Is that why so many refuse to assimilate or even learn English?

Oh, and do other countries have this same policy, to immigrate, legal or illegally, at will?

Sorry, lots of questions and most of 'em probably dumb, but...
