America's own 'Palestine problem'

I hate to say it, but I told you so.

As the Bush administration began its big push for a state of Palestine as a prescription for peace in the Middle East, I warned you that America was setting a dangerous precedent. We are encouraging terrorism. We are suggesting it should be rewarded. We are falling for a propaganda coup – a distortion of history, the work of mythmakers.

Mark my words: This policy will come back to haunt the United States – right in our own backyard where we have our own little "Palestinian problem" in the making.

I refer to yesterday's news that a healthy majority of Mexicans claim their country rightfully owns much of the southwestern United States.

Why is this a problem? Why do we care what Mexicans think?

Because, as long as our porous borders remain that way, the U.S. southwest will become more and more dominated by people with exactly this mindset. That's the situation we create when we allow immigration to get out of control, when we don't punish illegal aliens for being here, when, in fact, we reward illegal immigration with amnesty and social benefits.

I've told you in previous columns how a political movement is budding in the southwest that patterns itself after Yasser Arafat's 35-year terrorist struggle for a Palestinian state. The Aztlan movement suggests Hispanics in the United States should demand their own independent country.

The leaders of this movement are meeting continuously with extremists from the Islamic world, and you can read for yourself how they have been inspired by the Palestinian cause, and even adopted the most vicious forms of anti-Semitism in the process, by reading their own words on their own website.

"There are great similarities between the political and economic condition of the Palestinians in occupied Palestine and that of La Raza in the southwest United States," explains an editorial from earlier this year in La Voz de Aztlan in Los Angeles, the city seen as the future capital of the new Hispanic state.

Los Angeles, you see, is the southwestern U.S. version of Jerusalem.

The editorial goes on to draw analogies between the Arab uprising in Israel and gang violence in Los Angeles. It's the same thing, the activists claim. This is not crime and punishment, according to La Raza (literally, "The Race") activists, this is the birth of an independence movement by young Hispanics.

"The similarities are many," says the editorial. "The primary one, of course, is the fact that both La Raza and the Palestinians have been displaced by invaders that have utilized military means to conquer and occupy our territories. The takeover of our respective lands by foreign elements occurred 100 years apart. For La Raza, it happened in 1848 when Mexico lost the southwest at the end of the Mexican-American War and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. For the Palestinians, it occurred in 1948 when the Zionist Jewish People's Council gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum and signed the 'Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel' on the day in which the British Mandate over Palestine expired."

Are you getting the picture?

This idiotic movement takes on special meaning after Sept. 11.

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest terrorists have used America's unpatrolled, unguarded borders with Mexico and Canada to infiltrate our country and to bring in arms and munitions. It's about time the American people learned there is an organized fifth column of U.S. activists who would be only too glad to assist Islamic terrorists in their jihad against the Yankee imperialists. This is an alliance long in the making.

But please keep in mind what I am telling you today. This is not a column about illegal aliens. This is not a column about problems with the border. This is not a column about how our culture is being changed by mass migration. This is a story about a movement to create a new state within the borders of the continental United States. It is a column designed to alert you and your elected officials to vital national security issues.

And the logic and rationale for this movement is the same logic and rationale (if you can call it that) being employed to make the case for a Palestinian state. Americans need to understand this argument can and will be used against them – soon.

These people won't need to use terrorist tactics. Immigrants and their offspring will soon be the majority and actually control this area via the ballot box.

Yeah, all the mexicans I see are wearing leaf blowers not bomb-belts.

Seriously I have seen the local population (southern Ca.)go from a very minor Hispanic to a majority hispanic.

I have been living side by side with them for 45 years (a transplanted Arkie) and have seen very little hostility. Most are good family-oriented, industrious, church going folks.

They now are the police, the teachers, and council-persons.

I know LA has some problems, though. There seems to be an influx of a new breed of "immigrant" that doesn't want to become "American".

There are similarities but our country is more apt to be fractionalized in the course of events similar to the Balkans. The War against the West has to be considered in the mix. The United States is not the unified country that Israel is. The red and blue map of the last Presidential election shows some pretty serious cracks in the infastructure.

[lavaroise]

The majority does not allow secession nor foreign nationalism and fascism to be implanted within our borders. Enough is enough.

Notwithstanding the media and Democrats and University professors calling for revolution, there is a lot of instability, and while 911 galvanized the nation, I do not know if another one would start breaking it up.

Yup. Who recently wanted to grant amnesty to illegals? Does anyone really think the Two-Party system is really 2 parties, or just different degrees of the same dysfunction?

A "look what's invading America" bump.

[MissAmericanPie]

I agree with you, and for me it is an issue of how they vote rather than how they behave.

For those who find history informative and useful as a guide for today's situations look up the history of the last century of Rome's Western Empire. Since both political parties now have taken to ethnic bidding in their own bid for the power of the government there will come to be seperatist ethnic political fiefdoms catered to and strengthened by both parties. For at least a century American politics has been able to rely on a solid center, but now we have the addition of a growing poltical force that will fetch a pretty price from the parties seeking power. All the talk of materialist assimilation is but boob bait for the American center the real story is where the political power gravitates and it is gravitating to a seperatist movement of Hispanic Leftists who carry a heavy axe for "Whites."

The Serbs in Serbian Kosovo used to enjoy the cheap Albanian help also.

Look where it got them.

The American Southwest is going to be "Big Kosovo" in 15 years, with Aztlan snipers shooting "Anglo" police in "Aztlan territory". The fact that most Mexicans are moderate won't matter, the radicals will set the agenda with guns and bombs the way they did in Kosovo, and the way they do in the West Bank and Gaza.

[Howie]

If they wait 15 years you younger guys are gonna have to handle it, I will probably be gone or too blind to shoot. I sure wouldn't dismiss your prediction, though. If you look at how corrupt things are south of here on this continent it is scary.

[Travis McGee]

If I can't handle it my son will! LOL! (I hope.)

Mexican Aggression And Its American Collaborators

"Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda has presented a list of demands regarding 18 million Mexicans living in the U.S., about one third of them illegal, including the demand that America "respect their human rights," i.e. not enforce its own laws. They claim that the measures undertaken to deter illegal border crossings endanger the lives of the perpetrators, whom they describe as "threatened by the U.S. Border Patrol," and have called on the U.N. to deploy troops."

[Travis McGee]

I don't know about UN troops, but it's certain that Aztlan radicals will attempt the Kosovo formula.

99.9% of the office buildings in Washington DC are cleaned by Hispanic janitors every night. What more cover would you need to plant bombs in critical government agencies?
