'Ganas 2020': Artist depicts fictional revolution
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | November 11, 2010 | Alexandria Regilio

As a kid, crossing the border into Mexico and back was part of Ernesto Yerena Montejano's daily life. His grandmother lived in Mexico, and so did many other relatives.

What Yerena never got used to, though, were the hours upon hours spent waiting in the car to pass through immigration. It was during these moments that the young Yerena began to sense that something was particularly wrong.

"Because I was always super hyper, I hated just sitting in the car. 'Why do we have to wait?' I started thinking. That's why I have to wait - it's people imposing borders on our people in order to control them," said the now 23-year-old. "As a kid, that kind of made me angry."

It shows an American Indian woman holding a book titled “Our True History.”

*******************************

The true history is that the free tribes kicked mestizo peón ass every time it made a brief appearance, whether under the Spanish Crown or the Mexican Republic. The Comanche, Apache, Navajo, Pima, and Hopi et al. held what this petulant clown would call “Azatlan”.

What do you call a country without borders?

California!

Only in 10 years, there won’t be anything left recognizable there after they secede from the Union! Chaos, anarchy, you know, all that cool stuff that happens when you don’t have control of your country. < shrugs >

If that’s what they want...buh-bye!

Did he go to art school in Mexico?

Is he distributing his income to the inhabitants of El Barrio?

I don't see any difference between his angry “art” and the graffiti in the NYC subway system - it comes from the same destructive place.

I love articles that have links at the bottom like:

"Cross-border commuters victims in Mexico drug war"

and

"20 killed over weekend in Mexican border city"

You have to wonder what these idiots are thinking.

If you haven’t noticed, that is one of the “new” liberal rallying cries: Borders are evil because they impede the free flow of people. And, of course, anything that does that must be evil and racist, right? It only works one way though. Its okay for the Third World to have borders, but not the West. And, of course, lets all ignore the consequences if their are no borders. Everything is wonderful as long as we’re all drinking the happy-crap Kool-aid.

And I can tell you personally that as far as the Comanche Nation(the fiercest of all the Plains Indians) is concerned there is no love for Mexicans— at all.
