Mexico

The farm state of Michoacan is burning. A drug cartel that takes its name from an ancient monastic order has set fire to lumber yards, packing plants and passenger buses in a medieval-like reign of terror.

The Knights Templar cartel is extorting protection payments from cattlemen, lime growers and businesses such as butchers, prompting some communities to fight back, taking up arms in vigilante patrols...

The Knights Templar also demands that avocado growers pay 2,000 pesos (about $160) per hectare of trees. Avocado warehouses were set afire this month by armed men.

The heart of a conflict where a mafia openly rules and the government is largely absent is nowhere more evident than in the lime groves that cover the hot, hilly plains, miles and miles of trees with the fruit yellowing and falling into uncollected heaps on the ground.

At first I thought the IRS scandal was leaked to distract from the Benghazi scandal. But that didn't make sense because the IRS scandal is a more obvious abuse of power than the White House lying about the murder of four Americans in Libya...

So now I think all the scandals are intended to distract from Rubio's amnesty bill...

For decades, Mexicans have been about 30 percent of all legal immigrants to the United States...

Why can't the country be more or less the ethnic composition that it always was? The 50-1 Latin American-to-European ratio isn't a natural phenomenon that might result from, say, Europeans losing interest in coming here and poor Latin Americans providing some unique skill desperately needed in our modern, technology-based economy.

To the contrary, it's result of an insane government policy. Teddy Kennedy's 1965 Immigration Act was designed to artificially inflate the number of immigrants from the Third World, while making it virtually impossible for anyone from the nations that historically provided our immigrants to come here.

Pre-1965 immigrants were what made this country what it was for a reason: They were the pre-welfare state immigrants. From around 1630 to 1966, immigrants sank or swam. About a third of them couldn't make it in America and went home -- and those are the ones who weren't rejected right off the boat for being sick, crippled or idiots.

That's why corny stories of someone's ancestors coming here a half-century ago are completely irrelevant. If their ancestors hadn't succeeded, their great-grandchildren wouldn't be here to tell the story because no one was given food stamps, free medical care and housing to stay. (And vote Democrat.)...

As Milton Friedman said, you cannot have open borders and a welfare state...

By now, Mexicans are the largest immigrant group in America, with about 50 million Hispanics living here legally... Marco Rubio's amnesty bill will soon make it 80 million.

The nation's plutocrats are lined up with the Democratic Party in a short-term bid to get themselves cheap labor (subsidized by the rest of us), which will give the Democratic Party a permanent majority...

...A national opinion survey of Mexico by the Pew Research Center, conducted March 4-17 among 1,000 adults, finds that roughly two-thirds (66%) of Mexicans have a favorable opinion of the U.S. – up from 56% a year ago and dramatically higher than it was following the passage of Arizona’s restrictive immigration law in 2010, when favorable Mexican attitudes toward the United States slipped to 44%...

Mexicans are also now more of the view that the U.S. takes their country’s interests into account when deciding international policy. About half (51%) say Washington considers their country’s interests...

More than 11 million Mexicans live in the U.S., including about 6 million [to 40 million] who are in the country illegally. Mexicans are divided on whether this is good or bad for their country...

About six-in-ten Mexicans (61%) say they would not move to the U.S. even if they had the means and opportunity to do so. However, a sizable minority (35%) say they would move to the U.S. if they could, including 20% who say they would emigrate [illegally] without authorization.

9Mexicans are less likely than they were a year ago to say that people from their country who move to the U.S. have a better life there; 47% say life is better in the U.S., compared with 53% in 2012. About one-in-five (18%) say Mexicans have a worse life in the U.S., while 29% say it is neither better nor worse. However, among those who have close friends or relatives living in the U.S., 70% say these friends or relatives have achieved their goals, while just 25% believe they have been disappointed.

Three-in-ten Mexicans say they personally know someone who went to the U.S. but returned to Mexico because the person could not find work. About a quarter (27%) know someone who has been deported or detained by the U.S. government for immigration reasons in the last 12 months...

CAIRCO Research:

As of May 3, 2013, US population was 315, 788, 230 according to the US Census Bureau.

Mexico's population was 116,147,000 and total fertility was 2.3 as of mid-2012, according to the Population Reference Bureau.

35 percent of Mexico's population who would migrate to the United States amounts to a staggering 40,651,450.  That's 40 million people, or nearly 13 percent of the total US population. 

The 20 percent of Mexico's population who state they would sneak into the United States illegally, amounts to 23,229,400, or 7.4 percent of the total US population.

Thus, with our incredibly porous border, and the undeniable attraction of promises of amnesty, we can rest assured that a sizeable portion of these millions will try to sneak into the United States as illegal aliens.

It should be noted that the old, outdated number of illegal aliens currently living in the United States is 11 million. Other analyses estimate that up to 40 million illegal aliens have escaped capture at our border and are living in the United States. These are the cumulative numbers of illegal aliens since the original 1986 IRCA amnesty for illegal aliens.

Thus, if all of the people in Mexico who said they would sneak into the US illegally actually did so, the number would amount to twice the official count of all illegal aliens currently living in the United States. If all of the people in Mexico who want to emigrate into the United States actually did so, it would amount to the total number of illegal aliens already living in the US as estimated by alternative studies.

It doesn't stop there. Mexico's mid-2050 population will be 143,924,800, according to the Population Reference Bureau. That's an increase of 27,777,800. Assuming the same interest in migrating to the US, an additional 5,555,560 Mexicans will want to sneak illegally into the US, and a total of 9,722,230 will intend to migrate to the US. That's in addition to the numbers today, calculated above, who want to migrate to the US.

The United States is under no obligation to act as Mexico's population relieve valve and to be forced to accept up to 50,373,680 new job seekers by 2050. That 50 million would be nearly 16 percent of today's US population. 

Why would we want to grow US population by another 16 percent within 40 years?

The U.S. government has been caught promoting the delivery of taxpayer-funded welfare benefits to foreigners, and Judicial Watch’s conclusion is that the Obama administration “cannot be trusted to protect our borders.”

Judicial Watch, the Washington watchdog which is known for tracking down and trying to stamp out government corruption, has issued a report revealing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is working with the Mexican government to promote the U.S. food stamp program to illegal aliens.

The report said the program, called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, features a Spanish-language flyer supplied to the Mexican Embassy by the USDA “with a statement advising Mexicans in the U.S. that they do not need to declare their immigration status in order to receive financial assistance.”

Just so they don’t miss the idea, the message is in bold and underlined on the brochure: “You need not divulge information regarding your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children.”... Read more about Feds caught promoting welfare to foreigners

Drug cartels from Mexico are embedding some of their most trusted agents inside the United States. Officials warn the new focus is on middle-class suburbs in the Midwest, South, and Northeast.

Drug Enforcement Administration statistics suggest a heightened cartel presence increasing from 230 American communities to more than 1,200 in 2011. Experts say the increase is partly due to better reporting.

Until recently, supply operatives used unaffiliated middlemen to smuggle cocaine, marijuana, and heroin and rarely ventured beyond the border. Now an investigation from the Associated Press shows evidence that groups are sending members into at least nine non-border states.

Authorities say the new strategy could make the cartels harder to remove. Danny Porter, chief prosecutor in Gwinnett County, Ga., told the Associated Press that he has tried to entice dozens of suspected cartel members to cooperate with American authorities. Nearly all declined. Some laughed in his face.

"They say, 'We are more scared of them [the cartels] than we are of you. We talk and they'll boil our family in acid,'" Porter said. "Their families are essentially hostages."

In Mexico, there's been a staggering number of cartel related killings -- more than 50,000 -- including their signature beheadings.

"It's probably the most serious threat the United States has faced from organized crime," said Jack Riley, head of the DEA's Chicago office... Read more about Mexican Drug Cartels Infiltrate Suburban America

American politicians in both parties are stampeding all over themselves to pander to Mexico and adopt mass illegal alien amnesty schemes. But while the Mexican government lobbies for more "humane" treatment of illegal border crossers from their country into ours, Mexico remains notoriously restrictionist toward "undesirable" foreigners who break their laws or threaten their security.

Despite widely touted immigration "reforms" adopted in 2011, Mexico still puts Mexico first—as any country that is serious about protecting its sovereignty should and would.

Article 33 of Mexico's constitution establishes the right of the president to detain and deport "any foreigner" and prohibits foreigners from participating "in any way" in the political affairs of the country.

While you read this passage, dwell on the demagogic rhetoric of meddling Mexican consular officials and lobbyists who assail America for its (poorly enforced) detention and deportation policies:

"The President of the Republic shall have the power to expel from national territory any foreigner, according to the law and after a hearing. The law shall establish the administrative procedure for this purpose, as well as the place where the foreigner should be detained and the time for that. Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."

Article 32 of Mexico's constitution unapologetically bans non-native born residents from holding sensitive jobs and joining the country's military. Preference is given unabashedly to Mexicans over foreigners...

While amnesty advocates and civil liberties zealots in the U.S. decry "police state" tactics against illegal aliens, Mexico fiercely maintains laws against illegal border crossings; "verification visits" to enforce visa conditions; requirements that foreigners produce proof of legal status on demand; and enforcement and cooperation between and among immigration officials and law enforcement authorities at all levels in Mexico. Native-born Mexicans are also empowered to make citizens arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities...

If such self-interested "nativism" is right and good for the protection and survival of Mexico, why not for the United States?

The Mainstream Media (MSM) isn't interested in covering stories like these, however they are quite interested in promoting an amnesty for illegal aliens. Democrats and Republicans are pushing for amnesty.

The promise of amnesty will lure even more illegal aliens into the US and will further weaken our already insecure US-Mexico border - which DHS's Napolitano wants to ignore. See article DHS Secretary Napolitano criticizes immigration ‘border trigger’ proposal.

It will only be a matter of time until cartel-related violence spills over into the US interior.

This article confirms that Mexico is aware that promises of US amnesty for illegal alien - comprehensive immigration reform as proponents call it, generates a surge of people moving across the Mexico-US border.

American patrol notes that their patriotic website is blacklisted as a hate site by the Southern Poverty Law Center in a blatant attempt at censorship.
