Good read! Thanks and BumP It Up!
......."These scofflaws and criminals do not only want American jobs, they also want all the rights of American Citizens with the intent to inflict upon us the failed customs, politics, and ignorance that frame the foundation of Mexicos class-conscious tyranny, universal lawlessness and eternal poverty"........
I would add that Mexico is a satrap ruled by a despotic government-of-the-wealthy that tosses citizens it considers useless over the US border, to become wards of American taxpayers, and the US welfare system. Now they demand veto power over US immigration policy. And some in Congress are prepared to ignore the US Constitution and have signed on to the Mexican agenda. Americans are defending our citizenship from those who would devalue it, who are dragging our country down into anarchy.
Globalism begins in your home district.
This affinity is so blatant that sometimes I wonder if they are motivated by "mordida" sharing.
BTTT
"The priority date the government gives to those waiting to immigrate legally is simply to keep them from phoning us all the time. They simply have little meaning."
Are you trying to tell me the government is lying to the people? Do you think they're secretly trying to achieve a union between the US and Mexico?
I don't understand people who still defend the government. They are almost totally corrupt in every area.
Elites like the Bush family don't mingle with common people, so it really doesn't matter to them whether the common people in America speak English or Spanish. If the balance of power permanently shifts to the Democrats, I'm sure George P. Bush will just switch parties when he runs for Presidente of Norte America in 2024!
Only "Sometimes"?
You're way more idealistic than I. ;-)
After the uprising of 17 June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the People
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
Bertolt Brecht
Does anyone doubt still that we are long past Claire Wolfe's "awkward age?
"I wonder if they are motivated by "mordida" sharing."
Most people not only haven't heard of it and those that have very few understand it.
As an example, on an IFR flight into Mexico I was weather delayed and arrived at the destination airport 20 minutes after it closed at 7:00 PM. They knew I was coming but promotly shut off all the lights at 7.
When I landed and half way through the rollout all the lights came back on and all the officials were lined up on the taxiway, omandante, imigration, airport managerm, etc.
The comasndante took me into his office and demanded a $375 fine in cash and wouldn't give me a reciept, which I paid.
2 weeks later I had a meeting with the Secretary of Transortation in Mexico City and told her about it and her only coment was, o really!
When I got back to Loretto the next day the comandante was in jail.
Any mordita is supposed to be split half to his superior and that half to his superior until it reaches Mexico City.
"forced to abide by the will of the people"
Totally misunderstands our founding fathers. They trusted neither the elite, nor the mob. Power corrupts in the hands of the mob, just as much as in the hands of the elite.
Out system of government is not intended to implement the activist agenda of anyone. It was to be small government where people had personal responsibility for their situation.
That is why a BIG GOVERNMENT response to (illegal) immigration is not conservative of conserving the constitution. No. A BIG GOVERNMENT response is a usurpation of my tax money by the mob. Of course, illegals receiving welfare is also a usurpation of my tax money.
Transferring my tax money from one Big government program to a different big government program is not conservative either.
I don't know that this is true, but someone told me the police chief of Tijuana paid more than $1 million for the post. Wonder what the ROI was? Maybe someone should tell the hedge fund industry about this -- next hottest thing since collateralized debt obligations.

"I don't know that this is true"
I do having been told that by the Sec. of Transportation and the fact that she had the comandante arrested and jailed.
Also, the amount of mordita is proportional to the cost of living in the area.
In the 70s, the loss or missplaced visa was a $10 cost in San Jose and $20 in La Paz.
On a trip down to Cabo 2 of the guests on the boat wanted to leave a couple of days after we arrived. I had given all the bost papers and visas to an "agent" to process and get our fuel permit.
I took to the imigration officer and the muy grande problema was $10 each for new visas.
2 others rented a car and drove to La Paz and since the cost of living is much higher there it cost them $20 each for new visas.
