Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

One of the reasons that the Spaniards in Mexico export their poverty and crime into our country - and don't even want their very own indingeneous peoples - is to keep revolution from breaking out. I say we wall up what we can, turn the border into a fully militarized zone, send back all the illegals to Mexico and let them all sort it out.

Eventually we will have no choice. Mexico is a corrupt narco-nation. It is an out of countrol third world shit hole run by drug cartels and militias - a shadow government. We have to have boundaries. We have to protect ourselves.

Violence prompts Mexico travel advisory
Published: April 21, 2007 at 6:35 PM

MONTERREY, Mexico April 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department has issued a travel advisory, warning Americans of possible drug violence in parts of Mexico, especially along the Texas border.
The warning was issued after drug traffickers posted written death threats against government officials and their families -- attaching them with ice picks to the bodies of their murder victims -- The Dallas Morning News reported Saturday.
Three bodies were found in the Monterrey area in the past month with messages accusing Nuevo Leon state authorities of favoring their rival cartel groups.
One note read, "This won't end until you understand."
A U.S. State Department official told the newspaper on condition of anonymity that "the environment has never been this tense. We've never seen our counterparts as worried about their personal safety as they are today."
The travel advisory includes the popular resort area of Acapulco.
"U.S. citizens should make every attempt to travel on main roads during daylight hours," the State Department said, adding that U.S. citizens should exercise all due caution and remain vigilant while in Mexico.

A letter from a friend of mine...
Thanks to Ed P., New York City

Last night my wife and I arrived at the mid town brownstone of one of the resident Mexican elite in Manhattan, to discuss Presidential politics.

The house had been converted from a five family to one family use 50 years ago and was beautiful in white, light colors and furniture, seductively lit in low light except for the art, which was bright and modern and all over the house.

About 50 people showed, some members of the richest and most aristocratic families in Mexico.

They are scared.

Here is what they told me, not knowing who I was:

The recent election barely held off a Hugo Chavez style government from coming to power in Mexico, perhaps because of CIA intervention. The next time they might not succeed.

The Mexican elite have concluded that McCain-Kennedy is dead, and their ability to dump their working class on us is threatened, and revolution is around the corner, as the Mexican masses contrast their situation with an improving living standard in South America.

They have decided on a new strategy-to bring the immigration issue into the Presidential race, by spending their money on Spanish radio and television and lobbying the candidates for President. Corporations with major stakes in Mexico will also be involved.

The weakness of this approach is that it subverts democracy and is not in the interests of many people already here. We need to lobby and advertise right back, educating the American people in how to survive.
