Mexican invasion is reasonable fear
September 14, 2007 3:00 AM Guest Columnist Lance Key
Xenophobia is defined as an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers. In a recent Times-News article, Ebher Rossi tossed that word around to describe en masse, Republicans, and anyone agreeing that felons should be arrested and deported.
How is it that he can so cavalierly dismiss the fear people are expressing as not only valid, but warranted?
Elvira Arellano illegally entered our country in 1997. After being apprehended and deported, she returned and gave birth to an “anchor baby” with an unnamed father. After being arrested and convicted of using a false social security number to obtain employment in a post 9-11 sweep, she was sentenced to three years probation. Instead, she took refuge in a church to avoid deportation. She was recently arrested and deported a second time demonstrating against U.S. immigration policy in Los Angeles. Upon her return to Mexico she petitioned President Calderon to give her diplomatic status as an “ambassador of peace and justice” so she can return and not be prosecuted.
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is currently fighting against the proposed NAFTA superhighway, denouncing it as a merger plot for a North American Union. In his words, the highway is part of a broader plan advanced by a quasi-government organization called the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. The SPP was launched in 2005 by heads of state in Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. One of the principal players in the alliance is a Spanish construction company which plans to build the highway and operate it as a toll road. There are plans for a Mexican customs office along the corridor in Kansas City, to be paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
The U.S.-Mexico Social Security Treaty being penned currently would mean we will be paying out billions of dollars to illegal immigrants. If not stopped, this treaty will reward illegal immigrants even if they used fake Social Security numbers. In 10 years an already near defunct system will pay out over $300 billion, and that doesn’t take into account current workers and their families.
Radical Chicano activists compare themselves to Palestinians in America and hope for a “reconquista” to unite southwestern states with northern Mexico into the Republica Del Norte. They refer to themselves as “La Raza” or “The Race”, and believe the southwest to be “Aztlan” a mythical birthplace of the Aztecs. These groups supported by organizations like “La Voz de Aztlan”, and “La Raza,” proudly affirm that “the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.” They represent a substantial majority of Mexican citizens who, according to a 2002 Zogby poll, believe southwestern America is rightfully Mexican territory, and they need no permission to come and go as they wish.
The Mexican government supports illegal immigration with the Office for Mexicans Abroad, through guides on how to cross the border and how to survive when they arrive. Groups like the elite law enforcement team “Grupo Beta” protect illegals as they cross and maintain aid stations for them. State laws enacted in Arizona and California to stem the flow of human traffic have elicited threats from Mexican politicians and sitting presidents, as well as incited protest movements by those who do not enjoy citizens’ rights.
Mexico is authorizing an invasion of our country, offering a threat to our national security as well as our economy. They are using us as a calculated economic safety valve while importing poverty and weakening our society. Immigrants from Mexico are not integrating into the great melting pot, but building a distinct, politically active community where legal and illegal are working together to claim what they believe as theirs.
We need to stop the flow across the border, actively work to arrest and deport illegal aliens, crack down on employers, amend the 14th Amendment and cut off all social aid to anyone without legal documentation. The consequences of remaining idle will result in nothing less than the loss of our sovereignty as a nation, the toppling of our economy, and a cataclysmic failure of our society, and that is a very reasonable fear.
