Here's a little snippet that explains, in part, the origens of the problem IMO:

Decades ago, the border between Mexico and the United States did not have an immigration problem, and needed very little guarding. That was before the Mexican government began a wave of nationalization, seizing privately owned industries throughout Mexico and imposing radical Socialist laws during the 1970s and ‘80s.

The wide-ranging assault on the Mexican economy brought predictable results. Production collapsed, creating severe unemployment and plunging millions of Mexicans into desperate poverty. Inflation destroyed savings and investments, and soon famine swept the country, forcing so many people to find and eat wild vegetation that cactus plants almost disappeared from Mexico. Since then, we’ve been witnessing millions of the poorest Mexicans streaming across the American border in search of economic relief, often risking their lives in treks through open desert.

Mexico’s problems trace back to Communist revolution during the 1910s and ‘20s, when Marxist revolutionaries seized power. Under the ruthless dictatorship of such men as Carranza, Calles, and Cardenas, the Mexican government so thoroughly abolished religion that over ninety percent of church institutions were shut down, children were forced out of religious education into a new, Soviet-style Marxist school system, and even religious services became illegal. By 1926, the systematic looting, rape, and murder by the leftist regime provoked a three-year peasant uprising of tens of thousands, extending through several Mexican provinces. The regime responded with brutality and mass murder, at times bombing entire villages to annihilate all the residents.

Although full Communism has never yet been imposed in Mexico, the Marxist rulers did suppress the peasant rebellion and have remained in power to this day, mainly through the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. It is that same Marxist political infrastructure that further socialized the economy, triggering mass famine and waves of refugees across the border into our country. Simply put, that means Mexico’s crisis cannot be solved until America invades with military force and overthrows the Marxist-run system.

In the meantime, Communists here in America seek to exploit the desperation of illegal Mexican refugees. If religious, anti-Communist Americans do not provide badly needed assistance to the impoverished refugees, they will become dependent on leftist organizations that will be happy to provide basic services — at the price of recruiting the refugees into violent revolution here in America. Communist front organizations such as the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund, the American Friends Service Committee, the ACLU, the NAACP, and many others known to support revolution and terrorism are now working to co-opt and radicalize Mexican refugees.

COMMUNIST MEXICO?

Nearly 15 years after the collapse of the USSR, America could encounter what would have been unthinkable during the Cold War - a hostile, communist nation on our southern border. If the plans of the Marxist president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, are successful, America's neighbor to the south will become a virtual enemy camp.

For the past five years, Chavez has sent money and agents to Mexico to finance and infiltrate local political groups on the left, according to a Mexican news daily The goal is ideological -- pro-Chavez operatives want to dominate the increasingly powerful left wing in Mexico.

The Chavez strategy is in a critical phase. The Mexican presidential election is scheduled for July 2, 2006, and the favored candidate to win is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a leftist who is currently leading his closest opponent, Felipe Calderon, by over ten percentage points.

Obrador claims not to have any affiliations beyond Mexico's historical political traditions, but his supporters include militant socialists who openly support the communist rebels in Colombia, a conflict which has taken tens of thousands of lives. Many others have developed a loyalty to Chavez and his particular brand of Marxism.

Chavez has borrowed from Lenin, Mao, and Fidel Castro of Cuba, among others, to develop "bolivarian" socialism, what is termed "21st century socialism," which, so far, looks very similar to other Marxist schemes. The term "bolivarian" comes from the name of the great South American liberator, Simon Bolivar, who defeated Spanish colonial forces in the early 19th century.

Should Obrador win, as many expect, a large number of his supporters will be communist militants willing to use force to bring leftist policies into reality.

To ensure that Mexico's version of "bolivarian socialism" has the ability to assert its will effectively, Chavez has already supplied "logistics" and "military training" to leftist rebel groups, according to the report.

In Venezuela, "bolivarian" supporters have been able to threaten and intimidate opponents by using weapons and strong-arm tactics. Mexico may be headed for a similar fate.

The prospect of a communist Mexico is only the latest blow to the U.S. in Latin America, once America's "backyard." The pro-terror Islamic Republic of Iran is a close ally of Venezuela, and may seek to share nuclear secrets with its Marxist ally. There are also reports that Venezuela may seek rocket technology from the Stalinist gulag of North Korea.

Venezuela's Marxist partner in the Caribbean, Castro's Cuba, recently played host to a top-level military delegation from China, led by General Peng Xiaofeng, who was the chief political officer of the PLA's nuclear forces.

Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia all have leftist governments with varying degrees of hostility to the U.S.

The media is ignoring the red tide sweeping across Latin America, and the federal government seems unwilling to respond. The situation becomes even more alarming in view of our inept policies concerning the control of our borders.

Let your representatives know what you think about these issues, which the established media fails to cover.
