Illegal Alien Anglos in Mexico

Helen | 04.04.2006 05:42

Los Yankees

They go down there to “get away from it all,” bask in the sun, play golf, enjoy the food, the warm climate and the warmth and hospitality of the Mexican people. (The same Mexican people that back in the U.S. are more often than not denied even basic humanly decent hospitality). Well, thousands of Anglos over-extend their Mexican visas or never bother to get one if they enter Baja California, where it is required after a certain period, I believe 30 days. So they remain in Mexico, which is NOT their country and they BECOME: ILLEGAL ALIENS.

The other ILLEGAL ALIEN U.S. presence is that of the U.S. corporations that exploit the Mexican workers, and desecrate the Mexican environment with all of their ungodly pollution and gunk. Between Agro-businesses pushing and Maquiladora Assembly Plants pulling Mexicans off the land, the Mexican economy has been invaded and its people displaced toward exploitation in U.S. companies in Mexico or here: same thing: Slave Labor, either dirt cheap in Mexico or kept cheap in the U.S. Mexico is our Southern Plantation, and we don’t even have the expense of shipping labor over from Africa.

The great majority of Mexicans prefer Mexico. Why do so many Gringos want to go and vacation or retire in this warm hospitable country? Why wasn’t this a crisis in the fifties, sixties, seventies or eighties? Only once NAFTA was implemented did this take on these proportions because it is really NASTA the North American Slave Trade Agreement.

Want the migration north to stop?

Prez Fox can declare a minimum wage for all foreign companies to pay their workers at least on a par with California’s. If the companies leave, Mexicans will be much better off, with the slave master companies’ despoiling, vandalizing and plundering practices out of their territory. So what if Mexico has no transnational jobs, it will create its own jobs.

Also Prez Fox can close the border to any U.S. Anglos, unless they have family ties to Mexico.

U.S. immigration laws tear families apart and in a single decade have devastated the centuries old fabric of Mexican society, the poverty is worse than ever before, so much so
that another ILLEGAL ANGLO practice is growing by leaps and bounds: children as young as five years old are being sold or selling themselves for food and shelter, and then living in bondage for the lucrative sex trade of U.S. tourists all over Mexico, but mostly in Cancun. These kids become suicidal, they can’t play, they can’t learn, they are controlled with drugs, thousands are kept in bondage as sex creatures for tourists who pay top dollar to the sex syndicates.

Get the ILLEGAL ANGLOS and all their hang-ups out of Mexico, and Mexicans will be able to re-build their economy and their society as they did for centuries without NAFTA. YANKEE GO HOME, AND WHEN MEXICANS REBUILD THEIR OWN HOUSE HOPEFULLY THEY WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT BEING SO HOSPITABLE TO YOU- YOU JUST TAKE, AND TAKE, AND TAKE AND PRETEND IT’S free. ALL ALONG AS INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS YOU TOOK THE “FREE” IN NAFTA TO MEAN “FREE” TO EXPLOIT, PLAY STUPID AND BLAME THE VICTIMS, YA BASTA, THEY ARE NOT OUR SLAVES, AND JUST BECAUSE WE NOW HAVE THESE PEOPLE TO DO OUR MENIAL WORK AND CLEANUP DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE TO BLAME FOR THE MESSES WE UP NORTH CREATE.

Mexican attitudes to immigration make the Minutemen look liberal

The Mexican Solution

The Congress has received lots of free advice lately from Mexican government officials and illegal aliens waving Mexico’s flag in mass demonstrations coast-to-coast. Most of it takes the form of bitter complaints about our actual or prospective treatment of immigrants from that country who have gotten into this one illegally—or who aspire to do so.

If you think these critics are mad about U.S. immigration policy now, imagine how upset they would be if we adopted an approach far more radical than the bill they rail against that was adopted last year by the House of Representatives—namely, the way Mexico treats illegal aliens.

In fact, as a just-published paper by the Center for Security Policy’s J. Michael Waller points out, under a constitution first adopted in 1917 and subsequently amended, Mexico deals harshly not only with illegal immigrants. It treats even legal immigrants, naturalized citizens and foreign investors in ways that would, by the standards of those who carp about U.S. immigration policy, have to be called “racist” and “xenophobic.”

For example, according to an official translation published by the Organization of American States, the Mexican constitution includes the following restrictions:

•Pursuant to Article 33, “Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.” This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.

•Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: “Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable.”

{snip}

•Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, “Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters.”

•Article 11 guarantees federal protection against “undesirable aliens resident in the country.” What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen’s arrests. Article 16 states, “In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities.” In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right.

•The Mexican constitution states that foreigners—not just illegal immigrants—may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, “the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.”
