“At last count, there were somewhere between 12 and 20 million of you here illegally in the United States. An army that size could conquer Mexico City, Caracas, San Salvador and La Paz in a day.”

Does Mexico have a constitution with a 2nd Amendment like ours? I don’t think that revolutions against any central government can be won today like it happened in France and here at home in the 18th century.

Today’s difference in supremacy between weapons owned by private individuals and that by the Armed Forces are too onesided in favor of government’s.

You obviously haven't driven through East LA recently!

I meant it more metaphorically than literally. Can you imagine 5-6 million people marching on the Capitol in Mexico City? I doubt seriously that even the Mexican Government would start shooting civilians indiscriminately. True that the same thing can't be said for Caracas.
