Do We Want Mexifornia?

City Journal ^ | Spring 2002 | Victor Davis Hanson

[Regulator]

La Policia De Aztaln - This is very close, now that we have the Mexican "Defense" minister on his way to Washington to propose a "joint" American force!

I wonder how the good burghers of Tucson, San Diego, etc will feel when they see columns of Mexican tanks rolling up I-17 and I-5 on their way to joint "maneuvers".

My personal favorite is the taped voice on the phone immediately instructing me what to do in Spanish. Although I believe everything should be in English, I do feel sorry for all the Southeast Asians, Russians, etc, who come here. There are forced (and do!)to learn English and assimilate just to survive. It's very unfair that one group is singled out for special treatment.

Liberalism is certainly one problem. Gray Davis, however, caters to those who want freebies and dependence on the state. Our state budget has increased over 30% during his term and those services go to a small percentage of the people. Let me repeat again---California hung out a sign that said "Free Stuff" and everybody came.

This guy speaks the truth. Great article.

Fights that now end in semi-automatic-weapon fire were settled with knives then

Things have really gone down hill

Immigration bump

[Loyalist]

Nineteenth century nativists erred in believing that America could not assimilate large numbers of Catholics, Jews, Eastern, Central and Southern Europeans who were willing to eventually meld with the broader culture.

Twenty-first century multiculturalists err in believing that America can accept large numbers of people who refuse to assimilate into the broader culture.

There may well be limits regarding a culture's ability to assimilate into another culture, and conversely, assimilate others into its own.

Thanks for the ping. Bookmarked.

"America is being sold out and destroyed from within...Globalists will not stop until America is fully stripped, raped and silenced into submission."

As we can see, it's become ridiculously easy, like taking candy from a baby. Our Government has already been hijacked by the agenda of the NWO.

The only thing standing in the way of total surrender sooner rather than later will be subborn defenders of the 2nd Amendment. Of this as well, Globalists shall eventually convince America to surrender, thus the Constitution will wind up as an obsolete "living document" subservient to a World Court.

Our favorite practical joke was to shout,"Alto! La frontera patrulla!" (Halt! Border Patrol!) while we were out dove hunting and than watch all the mexicans scatter and run from the bushes down by the San Joaquin or Kings river. Most farm workers are decent people, but over the years and especialy over the last decade you run into more and more drunken pentahoes out there and even more dangerous individuals.

Fights that now end in semi-automatic-weapon fire were settled with knives then.

Plenty of students brought knives to my blue-collar midwestern high-school only twenty years ago and I can't recall a single knife-fight, stabbing, or even anyone being threatened with a knife.

In upstate New York (of all places), we used to bring guns to school and store them in our lockers so we could go hunting after school. Use them against teachers or our fellow students? The thought NEVER crossed our minds. Of course, we were taught the difference between right and wrong back then, and we were steeped in a system of morals that included a righteous FEAR of G-d. You KNEW He was watching your every move, and you behaved accordingly. You also knew better than to anger your parents, who treated/disciplined you like CHILDREN, instead of close friends. (Oh...do I want Mexifornia? No. But isn't it too late?)

[Bob J]

I saw it, don't know where to start.

[ex-snook]

Thanks for the ping. Unless we call a time-out to assimilate those here and build a new generation, we will have Mexifornia. Failing assimilation then Mexico is destined to be a future State(s)

Destiny belongs to the people that will reproduce. Maybe Buchanan's "DEATH OF THE WEST" needs a sequel - "Death of America". In Academia, it's publish or perish. In Nations, it's reproduce or perish.

C'mon, this'll be real simple for a guy like Dean Kamen. All he has to do is put 6 arms and six zoomable, color cameras on his Segway scooter with a little nifty software that will help the robot determine what's ripe and ready to be picked. Our problems will be solved.

Even the most corrupt Democrat can't make up an excuse for letting one of them vote. :^)

Do We Want Mexifornia

Uh, isn't it a little too late to be asking this question?

Atzlan has already been reconquered. It'll just take a little more time before it is obvious to all.

This was done in Montana as well. Who could believe it now ?

It will probably be referenced as an "urban legend" by future generations. :-)

I agree. I think if not for an armed populace, the takeover would have already occurred.

I'm not as pessimistic as you are. The flame of Freedom still burns deeply in many Americans, and when the time comes, Patriots will step up to the plate.
