Walls and fences are everywhere, first in our head…

And then to top that off, Western Union and even the banks here in Honduras, often ‘misplace’ money transfers for a day, a few days, a week, before finally turning the money over to the recipient, without interest, of course. And the people have no recourse for these kind of shady dealings as they do in the U.S.

Thanks for visiting my blog, Rudy, and making such an interesting comment. I had so much to say that I had to write an entire article about it here.

Or is that too obvious?

Are you believing this nonsense?

It’s as if we’re not even a sovereign country any more. The United States doesn’t exist. There are no borders. The U.S. is nothing but a grandiose economic system providing jobs to Mexicans and shoring up the corrupt Mexican government in the process.

Why the outrage? Well, as you should know, Bush is saying he is going to sign a bill that calls for the construction of a fence along about 700 miles of the U.S. border with Mexico. That fence will be built on our side of the border. On U.S. territory — if there is any such thing any more.

Well …. actually the Mexicans don’t seem to think that there is any such thing as “U.S. territory.” They’re raising hell about the fence and — now get this — they want the United Nations to stop it. The message here is that we have no right to protect our border. We have no right to keep people from entering into this country illegally.

Vicente Fox only has about seven weeks left in his presidency, but he has dispatched his foreign secretary, Luis Ernesto Derbez, to Europe on a mission. Part of that mission is to complain about the border fence. So far Sr. Derbez has talked to the French foreign minister about the fence, and now he’s on his way to complain to the governments of Spain and Italy. Derbez says he will continue his campaign against the border fence until Fox’s last day in office.

What the hell? This payaso is traveling around Europe complaining that the United States is building a fence to keep his countrymen from crossing into our country illegally? This is absurd?

Well .. .maybe not so absurd if you look at it through the eyes of Derbez and his cronies in the Mexican government. First — they truly feel that the border is illegitimate in the first place. That border runs along the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Those states, and the southern half of Colorado, are what many Mexicans refer to as the “Republica del Norte.” The area used to be part of Mexico — or whatever preceded Mexico — and is now being “re-conquered.” Go ahead. Google “Republica del Norte” and take a trip through the 12,000+ hits you’ll get.

This stream of Mexicans across our border is an invasion, not a migration. They’re invaders, not immigrants.

I don’t give a flying leap how many bales of pine straw they spread, how many square miles of sheetrock they hang, how many homes they build, how many cars they buff up as they emerge from the car wash …. I don’t care. It’s an invasion just the same. No real attempt is being made to assimilate into American culture. No interest is shown in learning to speak anything past basic English. Why should they? The ultimate goal is their own country, or a brand new northern state to be part of Mexico. Instead of trying to become part of our society, they write magazine articles informing us that “Los Angeles is Ours.”

So .. .along comes this idea for a border fence, and they react is if they are being fenced off from something that belongs to them! They react that way because they feel that way.

In case you are one of the few out there who are wondering how it is that the Republicans came to be in such trouble in this upcoming election …. look at the stream of Mexican invaders coming across our borders. What have the Republicans done to stop it? The border fence? Hey, it’s about 1400 miles too short. Besides … and here’s the key … it hasn’t been funded yet, and there are some serious doubts as to whether or not the congress will fund that fence at all.

But Bonner doesn’t see that happening anytime soon because of pressure from corporate America. And all the available legislative evidence of the past quarter-century supports that view. “All the politicians–it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you’re on–rely heavily on the donations from Big Business,” he says, “and Big Business likes this system [of cheap illegal labor]. here somethng for you to think about Rudy.
