“Colonias - the third world in the USA’
This has been a long ignored tragedy for this nation. Few in this country even realize these colonias exist. I think of these diseased slums every time some politician proclaims how other ‘cultures’ enrich us! These are communities of ‘anchor babies’...which shows how WELL the second generation is assimilating....not! But they’re ripe pickings for the cartels!
Here’s a story on them. Please feel free to post the photos at the link, people need to realize what our immigration policies (or lack of them) have created. We are doing these people no favor, they can live like that in Mexico, etc. and we won’t have to pay for them.

What is a Colonia? THE THIRD WORLD IN THE USA
Texas Secretary of State’s Definition:
The term “colonia,” in Spanish means a community or neighborhood. The Office of the Secretary of State defines a “colonia” as a residential area along the Texas-Mexico border (USA SIDE) that may lack some of the most basic living necessities, such as potable water and sewer systems, electricity, paved roads, and safe and sanitary housing.
In recent years the Texas-Mexico border region has experienced an explosion of growth in population and industrial activity. Although growth has resulted in economic opportunities, it has also intensified the environmental health and social challenges.
Among the border states, Texas has the largest number of colonias approximately 1,800 communities, with more than 500,000 residents. Sixty-five percent of all residents, and 85% of residents under the age of 18, were born in the United States. (aka Anchor babies) These Americans live in extreme poverty and often are unaware of the services that the United States and Texas can provide for them. Education is a key to addressing the problems faced by colonia residents, but reaching out to these communities poses unique challenges that require unique approaches.
Ninety-eight percent of the residents are Hispanic and speak little or no English.
This will be on tomorrow’s ping. BTW, you have mail.
Colonia?
Hmmm, couldn’t be the root word for colonization could it?
Mexico is defacto occupying the United States. In time, the Western United States will be given to Mexico. There are now growing areas where people function 24/7/365 in Spanish.
Why we have allowed this is beyond me. Both parties cater to it and acquiesce to it. John McCain is chief among them.
Disgusting!
The Mexican and the Honduran family he slaughtered all lived in a COLONIA. With no housing for the millions of aliens arriving, we will see more of this
