Our southern
neighbor is not shy about expressing its intention to conquer
the American Southwest, which Mexico regards as territory lost
in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1846. Mexican children
are taught in school that the United States stole that land, which
they call “Aztlan.” Absurd rantings of political extremists?
Consider…
• In
1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that “I have proudly
affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory
enclosed by its borders.”
• Mexican
American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California
is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should
leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be
held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.” People who don't
like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.”
(Incidentally, Mr. Obledo was also the California Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.)
• Mexico's
President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen demands on the
United States, starting with open borders even before he was elected.
He has called for the border to be “a joining line.”
His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements
for Mexican citizens illegally in this country — free healthcare,
taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition for illegals at state colleges
and universities, guestworker programs and amnesty for all.
Incidentally,
we shouldn't be surprised at such shenanigans. The world is full
of revanchist fantasies, namely that some vague territorial claim
from centuries before should form modern national boundaries.
The Chinese invaded Tibet in 1949, with the excuse that an eighth-century
marriage had made Tibet a part of China. (Is there a Chinese word
for lebensraum?) Chinese flowing into Siberia argue that the Amur
region is actually part of China. (More on the Chinese demographic
invasion of Russia.) The Balkans have been a recent example of
the power of warmed-over nationalism, when Milosovic whipped Serbs
into a murderous frenzy by summoning the ghosts of the Battle
of Kosovo (600 years ago) as he urged them to “take back”
what had been stolen from them. In the case of the former Yugoslavia,
revanchism was the excuse for genocide.
Encouraged
by their leaders in both countries, the 20 million Mexicans in
America are similarly emboldened to insist that the United States
surrender to their demands, particularly amnesty which will speed
the acquisition of political power. And when California becomes
majority Mexican around 2028, will those people call for political
unification with their cultural homeland? Their leaders are planning
for such a scenario.
It's hard
to fathom how America's elected Congressional leaders, those who
swore to uphold the Constitution and to protect the nation, are
prepared to give it away for some perceived short-term political
gain, if that. The front man for globalist corporations who currently
occupies the White House is allowing Mexico City to dictate America's
immigration policy, while few in his party object. Does anyone
think that Vicente Fox cares about what happens to America? He
sees the United States as a full refrigerator and he is hungry,
very hungry.
Normandy cemeteryWhy
do American public officials value so little what thousands have
fought and died to protect? A foreign power has stated its plans
to conquer this nation by demographic warfare, but in Washington,
apparently no one cares. One wonders what Secretary of State Colin
Powell thinks about surrending American sovereignty to a foreign
power. He was a general in the U.S. Army and Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs, after all. Doesn't it bother him to be following the wishes
of a foreign leader? Why does the most powerful nation in the
world cower before the third-world country to the south?
