"Mexico does not end at its borders. ... Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico." That astonishing claim, by Mexican President Felipe Calderon, in his state of the nation address at the National Palace Sunday, brought his audience wildly cheering to its feet. Were the United States a serious nation, Calderon's claim that Mexico extends into the United States would have produced an instant demand from the U.S. ambassador for clarification. Failing to receive it, he would have packed his bags, and the United States would be on the verge of severing diplomatic relations.
In an earlier time, U.S. troops would be rolling to the border.
For this is not the first time an arrogant Mexican ruler has made a claim to extra-territorial rights inside the United States and, indeed, to U.S. territory. Mexico's presidents have gotten into a habit of suborning treason against the United States.
In 1995, President Ernesto Zedillo told a Dallas audience of U.S. citizens of Mexican descent, "You are Mexicans, Mexicans who live north of the border." I.e., you owe loyalty to Mexico, not Uncle Sam.
In 1997, Zedillo brought a Chicago gathering of La Raza to its feet by exclaiming, "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders."
In 1998, Mexico changed its constitution to restore citizenship to Mexican-Americans who have taken an oath of allegiance to the United States and renounced loyalty to any other country.
Purpose: loosen their ties of loyalty to the United States, re-knit their ties of loyalty to Mexico, and persuade Mexican-Americans to vote Mexico's interests in the U.S.A. Put Mexico first, even if you have taken an oath of allegiance to the United States. In June 2004, President Vicente Fox took the Zedillo road to the Mexican-American community in Chicago. There, he, too, declared: "We are Mexicans that live in our territories, and we are Mexicans that live in other territories. In reality, there are 120 million that live together and are working together to construct a nation."
President Fox was saying that the construction of his nation is taking place -- inside our nation. Is that not sedition?
In 2005, the head of the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, Carlos Gutierrez, asserted, "The Mexican nation goes beyond the borders that contain Mexico."
What these Mexicans politicians are saying is that Mexico extends into the United States, and the first loyalty of all men and women of Mexican ancestry is, no matter where they live, to Mexico.
Mexico's rulers believe in a nation of history, blood and soil that pre-existed, and supersedes, any pledge of allegiance any Mexican may make to another country, especially to the United States.
Is George W. Bush vaguely aware of any of this?
At the Quebec summit, Bush mocked the idea of a merger of a North American Union as a fantasy of conspiracy theorists. "It's quite comical actually, to realize the difference between reality and what some people on TV are talking about."
Calderon laughed it off, too. "I'd be happy with one foot in Mexicali and one in Tijuana." But in his state of the nation, Felipe is talking about one foot in Mexico and one in Los Angeles.
Is Bush oblivious to what his friend Vicente Fox laid down in Madrid in 2002 as the long-term strategy of Mexico?
"Eventually, our long-range objective is to establish with the United States ... an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union, with the goal of attending to future themes as important as ... the freedom of movement of capital, goods, services and persons. The new framework we wish to construct is inspired in the example of the European Union."
Fox is talking about the erasure of borders.
Whether Bush is aware of this really makes no difference. For the real issue is not what the Mexican regime has in mind, but whether we can stop it, or whether we have passed a point of no return.
Today, already, there are 45 million Hispanics in the United States, perhaps half from Mexico, and 37 million immigrants.
Now, Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies projects -- using official Census Bureau figures of 1.25 million legal and illegal immigrants entering and staying in the United States every year -- a U.S. population of 468 million by 2060.
We will add as many people -- 167 million -- in the next half-century as the entire population of the United States when JFK was elected.
Some 105 million of these folks will be immigrants and their children. That 105 million is equal to the entire population of Mexico, whence most of these folks will be coming. No wonder Mexican presidents are coming out of the closet about what is up. They know the gringos can't stop it, for they have the American establishment on their side.
Buenas noches, America.
NO..... its called espionage..
No habla Inglesa aqui.
"* It will strengthen links among Mexicans at home and abroad.
"* It will allow Mexicans to keep their nationality after adopting another one from a foreign country.
"* It will give individuals who may have lost their Mexican nationality, an opportunity to recover it . . .
"Mexicans living abroad will not be required to serve in the Mexican armed forces. They will only be required to register at the age of 18, either in Mexico or at its consulates or embassies."
Interesting. Because even ILLEGAL aliens living here are required to register with our selective service. They do not need a SSN to register and they will not have to provide any information that will ID them as ILLEGAL.
Let me guess. Washington worked out deal with Mexicorruption that excuses ILLEGAL aliens from Mexicorruption if they register with Mexicorruption? They will of course still be eligible for all our goodies (college tuition for example) that U.S. citizens and legal residents are denied if they fail to register. I bet.
Did you know that Halle Berry had a baby? Anybody know if the Yankees won last night? Can’t believe the Falcons will be any good without Vick...
Sad commentary on our president and congress.
Exactly! When well supervised they have a proven ability to work in agriculture. They didn’t build New York or San Francisco. They didn’t even build L.A.
Now, now, the State Department came out and said....essentially, Calderon didn’t really mean it that way.
A really nice response, huh?
Every US Senator, everyday, has their a** kissed by lobbyists, and special interests.
Every US Senator, and the shadow collusions who back them, discuss behind closed doors what they decide for "America."
Every US Senator gets a life pension, re-elected or not, of about 200 grand a year.
And there ain't an engineer, electrician, or creative mind among them.
Yet there are people who will willfully elect one for President.
Think Arlen Specter, Robert Byrd, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, John Warner, Charles Schumer, Diane Feinstein, etc. etc.
And some deny we live in an Oligarchy!
About 10 BC Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with a number of legions for:
Every Roman Senator was a multimillionaire.
Every Roman Senator lived in a privileged, elitist atmosphere, with no barbarians in their neighborhood except for servants.
Every Roman Senator had their a** kissed everyday by, etc. etc.
btt
They are looking at extending the Mexican Congress into the United States, governing the illegals. I think the meeting is September 30 in Los Angeles.
I believe the name of the new currency will be the Amero.
Reference please!
Halle Barry didnt have a baby.
ping
Whoops! Thought I saw something posted the other day about a baby.
I would be most interested in knowing, if the ring worn by Bush in Post Number 4 is really his ring that we hears or had the photo been worked over?? Very interesting. Thank you
“Mexico does not end at its borders. ... “
Build the fence. Make it a wall.
"Mexico does not end at its borders. ... Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico." That astonishing claim, by Mexican President Felipe Calderon, in his state of the nation address at the National Palace Sunday,"
Don't you pay attention to the news? It's not exactly a secret, what the President of Mexico says to his national assmebly on radio and television.
My husband says the new currency will be the Crappo or the Barfo.
