"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.
These type threads are simply designed to piss off people like me.
Mommy, make them stop!
Reference please!
Arriba, baby!!!
I’m asking for a reference - seriously, a link to a transcript of what he said. I’m not dissing your post, I’m asking for concrete facts to work with.
She’s working on one, somewhere around the 3 month point.
Didn’t read the article, did ya? I get caught every time I try that.
If you think that Human Events, Pat Buchanan, FOX News, etc etc etc have all been snookered, I think it would be a great scoop for you to find out from the transcripts that they were all taken.
Relax, Travis, you’ve got me completely wrong here. I believe you/Pat/FOX/etc.
I just want the transcript, in Spanish, verbatum.

Mexico is anywhere a Mexican is.
Dammit! I say America is anywhere an American is!

For this reason, we are already using all the resources of our consular network for the benefit of Mexicans abroad. On behalf of the Mexican Government, I again strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the United States Congress and Government, measures that are making the persecution and humiliating treatment of undocumented Mexican workers worse.
The insensitivity shown toward those who contribute a great deal to the economy and to society in the United States has been incentive to redouble our battle to gain recognition of their enormous contribution to the economies of both nations and to defend their rights.
Therefore, the Government of Mexico will continue to firmly insist to both countries’ societies and Governments on the necessity of comprehensive immigration reform and of categorically rejecting construction of a wall on our common border."

“Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.”
“Where there is a German, there is Germany.” - Adolph Hitler. Hitler may never have said that, but this is precisely what his idea was. We Americans must be awfully bored by reality if we can so casually listen to the band playing on the Titanic, but reality has a way of waking people up.
Thanks. Agreed...
Who gave them the idea they have the right to do this?
All of us from California need to call, write, fax and e-mail Schwarzenegger, Feinstein, Boxer and his or her Rep and protest this!
Villaraigosa will think he's in hog heaven over this.
I see it as wheat vs chaff, keep the good mexican workers and toss the thugs back over the border. As yet one sees a worldwide colonial backlash going on : from palestinians tunneling under israeli borders to algerians in france, turks in germany, pakistanis in england, to mexicans/south americans pouring into the US : the brown southern wave of cheap labor and fertile wombs burying the civilized white/european areas that originally conquered/colonized THEM.
We see them as an invasion threat, they see it as PAYBACK. Thus 911 was a wake up call, do we solve this WAVE with violence, or help them attain economic self reliance? How do you deal with burglars? How do you deal with poor people just trying to make it as individuals?
Keith Richards, on the other had, wears a silver one:
There can be NO divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but ONE flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I personally think we're past the point of no return. That doesn't mean I'll give up, if for nothing else, I don't feel like having a bunch of unedukatamated criminals sneering at me.
It is a difficult book. It is not a nice book. He does not mince words, or blur distinctions in order to be PC.
I can't say for sure his scenario will play out as he predicts, but I can say for sure that we're unlikley to get out of this with more crime as the biggest disruption we face.
Thank you, I’ll look for it :(
