Mexico reconquers the U.S.

For years, we've been hearing the rumblings that radical activists in Mexico were planning a "Reconquista" or reconquering of the American Southwest.

Judging by the events of the past few months, it seems clear that they've already succeeded.

This week, the U.S. Senate decided to reward those who break our laws and enter our nation illegally by granting them legal citizenship here. It's called amnesty, and it's a concept that has found growing support among conservative politicians who had once promised us that they would fight against any amnesty proposal.


Forget the Democrats – they have been hopeless on this issue. Now, Republicans are breaking a promise to those who elected them because of the political pressures they face – not from their conservative base, but from the pro-illegal immigration lobby that is strongly backed by the Mexican government.

This is mind boggling given recent polls which show Republican voters are furious about the way the immigration issue is being handled by GOP leaders. A brand new poll taken by Datamar Inc., a non-partisan and highly respected polling firm, showed that 62.6 percent of Republicans in the Golden State said they felt that immigration was, "The Most Important Problem Facing California Today."

Here's a clue for the Republican leadership: Those 62 percent of California Republicans aren't worked up about the immigration issue because they think illegal aliens deserve amnesty and drivers' licenses.

Rank-and-file Republicans are furious because they see the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into this country being rewarded by our elected officials with billions of dollars in taxpayer benefits for those who are in this country illegally. That's $68 billion each and every year in benefits to illegal aliens.

Surely that fact alone should provide politicians the "cover" they need to stick to their principles, even in the face of accusations of being "racists" and "mean-spirited" that would inevitably be lobbed at them from the liberal news media.

But Republican leaders aren't afraid of the wrath from Republican voters. Instead, our own senators have become conquered by the Third World nation to our south.

Reconquista: A long time coming

I would focus my outrage primarily on the Mexican government, and be more understanding toward American officials, if this Reconquista movement had sprung up out of nowhere and taken us by surprise.

But that's not the case – the effort to change our nation and make our policy compliant with Mexico's demands has been in the making for decades. Forget the Mexican-American War. Forget the Gadsen purchase. The land that comprises the American Southwest is land that the La Raza movement believes should belong to the people of Mexico.

In 1997, it was politically acceptable for Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo to announce – while on U.S. soil no less – the following:


I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that Mexican migrants are an important – a very important – part of this.


Surrendering to the demands of Reconquista

The illegals who sneaked across our borders are now today taking to our streets en masse to tell U.S. government officials that we must comply with the demands of the Reconquista, or else they will threaten us with anarchy.

In Oceanside, Calif., the uprising by pro-illegal immigrant activists was so potent that school officials took down all U.S. flags and banned anyone from displaying Old Glory. Do you get it yet? They banned the American flag to appease those who are calling the shots – those who have reconquered our land.

If the United States will not provide full-blown amnesty and taxpayer-funded social welfare benefits to illegal aliens, then these illegal immigrants have vowed to continue to go on strike; close down our schools; block our highways; prevent the display of our nation's flag; whatever they can do to bring this nation to a halt.

This is how they show their love for their new homeland. No wonder the nation from which they came is in such shambles.

Yet our leaders are impotent to the challenge. Strike that – they are complicit in the problem.

Last week, we all heard the allegations that the U.S. Border Patrol was quietly collaborating with the Mexican government, supplying them with information on the location of Minutemen civilian patrols.

This week, the Mexican government announced that they would sue the United States if National Guardsmen tried to stop the influx of illegal aliens from Mexico into the United States.

Instead of the United States patrolling the border to protect our nation, there are reports that Mexico is sending in a larger contingent of Grupo Beta, an elite Mexican police force that ensures the safe passage of illegal aliens from Mexico into the United States.

If only our nation was as determined to secure our border, as the Mexican government was to ensure it remained porous.

Who is fighting for America's future?

While Republican leaders are busy betraying their base, they risk not only political suicide, but are jeopardizing the future of our nation.

How can we watch the waves of riots in France (the world's official home of appeasement) and not recognize the dangers from taking in a flood of unskilled immigrants without assimilation?

The rallies in this country run the risk of becoming similar to the riots in France if more illegal immigrants stream into this country. The La Raza movement will feel more emboldened to up their demands from political leaders, and whenever they are not met, they will exact their revenge against America's institutions.

Someone must step forward and lead a political movement that counters the capitulation to the pro-illegal alien movement. If Congressman Tom Tancredo does not run for president in 2008, then someone with his commitment to the issue must run in his place.

Whenever candidates of any political party vote to support amnesty – as a number of Republicans and Democrats did earlier this week – then they must face political repercussions and be voted out of office.

If we don't take action now, then we will slowly become more and more like the Third World nation to our south where so many of these illegal immigrants are coming from.

It's time to fight back

AMEN! Keep the senators phones ringing off the hooks! I am not willing to sit back and watch my country be destroyed by the greed of big business and a president and senate who have totally lost their minds!
