The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America -- and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:
· It takes pressure off the 60 or so families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees that they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!
· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.
While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.
Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.
Now for the SPECIFICS of the matter:
My take on Bush's role in all of this is:
1. His long and apparently positive experience with the large hispanic population in Texas is largely responsible for his inaction on this alien invasion. And why wouldn't HIS experience with them be positive as he traveled in the highest, best-educated circles among them, not the Hispanic gangbangers and pine-straw spreaders...
2. His brother Jeb is married to a native of Mexico and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream "ethnocentric bigot" at me, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact -- and the first item -- DOES predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.
And if -- in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty -- Jeb should win the White House in some future presidential beauty contest designed to divert the American electorate every four years, I'd bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W's behavior look like a warm-up exercise.
And that Jorge was raised by hispanic nannies -- what with daddy running Zapata Petroleum (eventually into the ground) thanks to the Yale Skull and Bones old boy network --the elder Bush could afford to have them (but probably not pay them too much lest they get uppity).
If Jorge gets his way, any vestige of our previously fairly well assimilated European culture will be a distant memory.
With Bush fighting a never-ending “War on Terror,” sending more people to Iraq (many of whom are attempting to seal the borders of IRAQ for God’s sake!) and extending duty tours at the same time really bad people are doing all they can to get really bad stuff (chemical, biological and nuclear) into this country (it’s probably already here) to do really bad things (probably worse than 9-11), why in the hell has he ignored AMERICAN borders that leak like sieves?
Bush obviously thinks securing IRAQ’S border from incursion by murderous thugs and protecting the decent IRAQI citizens from death is more important than securing AMERICAN borders and AMERICAN CITIZENS!
In a saner, more aware time, that sort of behavior would have produced charges of treason.
Alas, those times — like this country’s greatness — are far behind us, probably never to return.
The man is either delusional, schizophrenic or stupid.
Or – worse yet -- part of some plot to alter America forever.
The TRUTH of history almost always comes out. But if out it comes at all, it is almost also ALWAYS after the movers and participants are safely in their graves. Perhaps our great-grandkids will learn the REAL STORY of this illegal invasion and the effort by some to legitimize it in their future Spanish language history books.
What’s going on here today makes a mockery of the rule of law and FOOLS of those who, like my great-great grandparents, stood – and STILL stand – on line to get in here LEGALLY!
Either we’re a nation of LAWS – the United States Constitution being the overarching authority for all subsidiary laws -- or a nation of MEN! If we’ve become the latter, we’d better begin casting about for somewhere else to live and raise a family because history teaches that these sorts of places always get WORSE before getting better. Most stay worse for a long, long time. Cuba comes to mind.
“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in men but BIND THEM DOWN WITH THE CHAINS OF THE CONSTITUTION.” Thomas Jefferson
Over 2 centuries later, that’s STILL sound advice.
(Excuse me. Some large folks in ninja outfits at the door...never mind they just battered it down and are...
With Jorge unwilling or unable to lay out any coherent reasoning for this disaster of an immigration bill, it leaves people to question his motives based on the facts of Jorge's upbringing and connections. I feel quite strongly that he and congress are expending so much energy on this because it benefits THEM. No other issue, including the GWOT, has received this measure of effort.
Remember BushBots: when Jorge leads all the lemmings over the cliff, he'll be the only one with a golden parachute.
That may be so, but I have Hispanic relatives in my immediate family, and I feel no warm fuzzies for the illegals. I suspect it may have more to do with the Bush dynasty, preparing the newphew for future leadership with Hispanic votes.
AMEN!!!
Enlightening analysis. Thanks!
