The history of the world
can be described as a trail of migrations. The ancient Romans came from
somewhere [1] unknown and settled in the Tuscan
area of Northern Italy and we know the history of that. The French,
Dutch, Spanish and English migrated to American and brought in the Irish,
Italians, Germans, Swiss and others. There were, of course, conflicts with the
natives, a few wars and worse. The Romans apparently defeated the Tuscans. But
the obvious courses of migrations are seen to derive from an urgent need to
improve the economic status of the migrants. Little has changed since the Stone
Age. This will not change for those who refuse to look out for their own
political options.
When there is an
interaction among peoples, we can rely on history as the grand predictor that
highlights their struggles, discontent, hate and ultimately war as part of the
ultimate outcomes. In the current situation, we have, among others, those who
would leave Mexico and states that border that country on the south
and take their chances in the United States. This is mostly due to a quest
for a better life as only the Americans [only those north of the Rio Grande that
is] can provide. We do not observe New Yorkers sneaking across intoJuarez to
send money back to the Bronx. We could not make the case that this is a
new phenomenon as the border has been wide open for about 7,000 years.
In the current state of affairs,
we have the easily predictable political response from those who would be
‘advocates’ for both Hispanic illegal aliens and resident Latino Americans
whose families may have been here for 1000 years or more. They will offer
support, for a price. Quid pro quo. The quests for wealth and
a better life are the main elements for participation in a political party or a
union as the party or union usually makes grand and often false promises as to
what they can deliver for political support. Democrats are promising lost auto
worker jobs to be replaced in Michigan last week.[2] [3] This is not possible, so it is a
political lie. As such, the only politically astute choices in our country are
between nothing and the Democrats. So, patterned after the Afro-American
political successes with affirmative action and racism, the Hispanic advocates
such as Lulac[4] and La Raza parrot the most successful leftist political mechanisms as
expected. There is no reason to believe that leftist Hispanics are anything
other than leftists. They even recycle the language and rhetorical elements of
legislation and speeches and thus excite prejudices used by Afro-American
advocates in the past. This is expected and not unreasonable. This is merely
part of the political process. They have a strong case to make too. Also, as
expected, politicians who routinely practice demagoguery and pander to the
notions of racism see a magnificent prospect for political power here and
readily accept the support of not only citizens but illegal aliens. They
probably can get votes from illegal aliens for free. As such, the bargain for
support would obviously begin with amnesty, slackening of laws that control
illegal immigration and control and monitoring of the borders with Canada and Mexico.
This all sounds most fair and good. This requires that, as usual, divisions and
differences among peoples must be firmly established, the bad guys labeled as
the bad guys and voters steered to various parties according to the political
expediencies of the moment. There are no latrines too ugly or polluted that a
crooked, biased, Marxist or racist politician [mosquitos] will not rake the muck for votes. Paraphrasing the rhetoric of
the past, the exploitation of the masses
continues with the undocumented workers as was done with the Irish, Italians, and slaves and ex
slaves and others in the past. Politics works well when proven methods are
employed as suggested by Machiavelli and the current politicos know that fact
well and will turn the old sausage crank and spew out political sausages as
they have always done. Thus a new ‘civil rights’ and ‘affirmative action’ era
is emblazoned upon the political banners. These rights and actions are actually
traps that enslave people with phony social programs that are designed to make
people dependent upon leftist politicians. It is time to realize that the
‘rights’ are simply ‘lefts’ that ensnarl the people and force them into phony
social programs and poverty as they did for Afro-Americans. That is a howling
political success as they now have 90% of the vote of that group. That is a
political victory.
Now, there is no doubt
that people deserve a better life than Mexico[5] can provide given its 800 year
history of revolution, murder, genocide, poverty, drug production and the
creation of the biggest Mugger’s Haven[6] [7]in the world with more than 25,000,000
potential victims in one city alone. A reading of the book Distant
Neighbors [8] by Alan Riding, former ambassador to Mexico,
shows us the intrinsic corruption and mismanagement of a country that soars
beyond the normal range of dismal and must be deemed unacceptable under any
standards. With the Communists set to control Mexico after the next
election, there is no hope for any improvement. The stated goals of La Raza are
noble indeed if taken at face value.[9] Nobody could argue with these
precepts. The concept of the reconquistador[10] is another matter however. This is
revolutionary talk, also part of the leftist political agenda. This is evident
in the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or MEChA. [11]
Some of us have intimate
knowledge of the typical Hispanic community, such as the author here, and have
lived in communities that were more than half Latino for half our lives or
more. Some of us have traveled to Mexico more than 50 times and can
speak with authority on the corruption and poverty there. This writer’s little
town[12] had a Spanish name and was 65%
Hispanic in 1960 and is now 99%. What we all thought was that we were all
essentially ‘Americans’ of various form and tone and that each distinct group
[Japanese, Armenians, Spanish, Okies and others] had their own identities and
loyalties and prejudices. There was no homogeneity in social terms; there was
no war either. To imply that any one group was ‘pure’ or noble in their
interactions with other ethnic identities is a farce as words like gringo, wetb--k, pachuko,
and Anglo, inter alia, were employed by all persons in
the community of Orosi. The status of the community in terms of race and race
relations and economic opportunities was essentially fair and balanced as those
with the cognitive skills became doctors and accountants and barbers and such.
Those with no ambition or lacking the requisite IQ stayed in the fields. As the
economic times evolved, many Anglos moved away and more
Hispanics moved into the area to take advantage of what they could do best with
their resources. There were incidents of minor friction among those citizens of
this little town that reflect the identical interactions between the Japanese
and Koreans in Japan, the Irish and English in the United Kingdom and Northern
Ireland and between the Chinese and Vietnamese in Saigon and the interaction
between Jews and Austrians in Graz or anywhere else in the world. The broad
observation here is that people
can all get along fairly well unless politicos enter into the fray to divide and prod some of the citizens
and attempt to construct compartmentalized barriers and nurture hate and
discontent. These are known as political agitators. Hate is easily encouraged
as we saw in Germany, England, and elsewhere and makes perfect
political sense in the current political context. Their ultimate success
depends on how well they separate various ethnic groups into militaristic
factions and keeps the groups agitated with the appropriate agitprop.
The permanent poverty
status among most Mexicans and others is the major driving force that coerces
people to test the border system and seek low-paying jobs in the north. This,
and starvation, brought the Irish to Canada and then the US in
1848 as well. The Irish were quickly organized into political parties in New
York City and elsewhere. This same poverty, regardless of the intrinsic
reasons, also drives the poor into the hands of similar politicians now with
the post 18th Century Marxist fluff and hokum. This process allows the parasitic elements of a
certain political variety to blossom and take advantage of the situation. Here, the future and welfare of their victims
are not of any concern, but the latent inheritance of new votes is tantalizing
and extends beyond the faintest chance of neglect. After all, the leftists have
no influence with the affluent. Ever wonder why? This just means that there are
more suckers to be fleeced and added to the official low class ladder. Nothing
in the constricted leftist agenda allows for prosperity or wealth, as can be
seen from their numerous ruinous outcomes, as this is diametrically opposed to
their political agenda. They wallow in poverty and pain and are connoisseurs in
those matters. They promise things they cannot deliver, then confiscate what
they can, grab what is left and spend it, and then it is all gone. We can prove
this by the abject failure of social programs that obviously accomplish the
very opposite from what the rhetoric promises. Look at the history of the USSR for
examples.
Introducing the notion
of parasitic politicians, we now must discuss Teddy Kennedy, our new
whiskey-soaked[13] mariachi [oescorpión]
who sings songs and invites Latinos to vote illegally and participate in a new
affirmative action program. What else would we expect from a Nazi/Marxist blend
of politics he inherited from his crooked father? His father slept with the
Nazis in London, the Commies here in the US and with Soviet
moles and with the Mafia to get his loot. Notice that the Rule of Law governing
the issue of driver’s licenses in New York State, known as the Spitzer’s Blunder[14],
is ignored by the left. Politicians will pervert the law for political power.
This is a political tenet: only follow the particular laws that support your
political agenda. Ignore laws that should be enforced if your votes hang in the
balance.
So, what we see here is
that the unfortunates who stream across the borders from Mexico and
other lands fall in the slimy claws of the politicians on both sides. The
Republican case of ‘enforcement of the law’ must prevail as the opposite leads
to chaos. We must enforce laws, something that does not exclude
Mexicans from living in the US in the long run. We cannot exactly
open the borders with decorated arches and songs. The Democratic view of
ignoring the law and padding the voter base with offers of government handouts
is exactly the way the black community was slammed back into slavery with
solitary confinement in their economic and social ghettos. The notion that the
lots of black Americans have been improved by welfare, drug rehab programs, and
such is a sick joke. Cities like New Orleans, Philly, Baltimore, Atlanta and East
Saint Louis are excellent examples of how the leftist Democrats operate
when given a free hand. These places are functional rat holes and only the
local Democrat politicians benefit from the votes. These places are social and
economic disasters and there is truly no hope for the inhabitants there but to
hang onto to more tax largess. They have little else. To think that legalizing
drugs and prostitution and providing free abortions in some way benefits the
inner city populations is outrageous. The American Dream is to be found in the
suburbs and only with those people who can participate in capitalism and free
enterprises so they can afford homes, cars, boats and the good life. The
American Dream is not derived from some political bozo buying votes with
welfare checks and phony social programs that actually work in reverse. The
awesome confiscatory tax structures envisioned by the Neo-Marxist radical left of the Clinton, Kerry and Kennedy Machines provide exactly what industrious Hispanics do not need.
Liberalism is not the pathway out of the ghetto—it is the Open Door to the letrina.
Hispanics need to
scrutinize some history and realize that their futures depend upon their labors
and ingenuity in business and not as fruit cutters in the hot sun.[15] As such, the union organizing
methods of Caesar Chavez [16] and Dolores Huerta [17] and others work against the futures
of Latinos and everybody else. This is just blind unionism and crude liberalism
and bears the ugly scars of crime and corruption and political domination.This
is just crude Marxism at its worst—only the elite benefit. To ‘organize’ the
field workers they simply bashed skulls and threatened the workers and forced
them to sign up with the unions or face something worse.[18] This lesson needs to be digested
and analyzed by the Latino Community.
Hispanics, undocumented
or otherwise, need to realize that they face the same inner-city ghettoization
that keeps blacks slaves to the Party of Democrats and borachos[19] like Teddy Kennedy will introduce
legislation to provide welfare and such to Latinos and still keep the tax rates
so high that they will be subservient to liberals for their incomes. Translated
with historical accuracy, they will take your votes in return for a mediocre
existence falling far short of the American Dream. That is their price.
The American Dream
depends only on independence and freedom from government and
excessive taxes and socially corrupting legislation. Hispanics ought to realize
that the leftists will never
permit them to move to the suburbs where their enemies reside and keep their wealth. They will
never allow them to become wealthy as this is ‘unfair’ and capitalistic in
nature. Affluent blacks who became educated and were successful and moved to
the suburbs now vote Republican in large numbers. These people who are against
affirmative action[20] are deemed ‘inauthentic.’
Translated, this means that they escaped the clutches of the rabid left. Why do
people vote Republican?? The Hispanics ought to think about this question and
wonder why. The Republicans have their share of idiots[21] and criminals[22] but can frequently find some
virtues in low taxes and capitalism.
Capitalism is the enemy
of the left having destroyed the USSR and other phony Marxist states
and recently fully 50% of the Mexicans voted for a rabid Marxist in the last
election in Mexico. As such, the critical decision to cross the border to
get a better life is the appropriate choice given the circumstances since they
can escape Communism in their homeland. If they just move across and settle for
more socialist-Marxist programs in the US they will have missed their
opportunity. There is no future in liberalism as there is no future in
Communism. Take a good look at life in Cuba for the answer to these
questions. How many boats flock to the Cuban shores for the good life? Note
also that capitalism is spontaneous and needs no muggers or dictators to force
a different choice. Capitalism is self enabling. Socialism and Marxism promote
the least gifted to positions of power.
So, advice to the Latino
Community: pick your politics very
carefully as this choice
will certainly determine your economic
future. Many who profess to be
your friends are not. The coyotes liked your dinero too.

“…comparative advantage explains how trade is beneficial for all
parties involved (countries, regions, individuals and so on), as long as they
produce goods with different relative costs. Usually attributed to the
classical economist David Ricardo, comparative advantage is a key economic
concept in the study of trade.” “Adam Smith had used the principle
of absolute advantage to show how a country can benefit from
trade if the country has the lowest absolute cost of production in a good (ie.
it can produce more output per unit of input than any other country). The
principle of comparative advantage shows that what matters is not the absolute
cost, but the opportunity cost of production. The opportunity cost of
production of a good can be measured as how much production of another good
needs to be reduced to increase production by one more unit.”

The issue of immigration has always prompted contentious attitudes. Since our
nation’s inception xenophobic attitudes have cyclically risen and abated
depending in large part on the state of the economy, the ability of the
newest-arrived immigrant community to integrate itself, demographic growth and
general fear of “outsiders.”

“MEChA's symbol is an eagle clutching a dynamite stick and machete-like weapon
in its claws; its motto is "Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada [For
the Race, everything. For those outside the Race, nothing]." The MEChA
Constitution calls on members to "promote Chicanismo within the community,
politicizing our Raza [race] with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to
continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the
purpose of liberating Aztlan." "Aztlan" is the group's term for
the vast Southwestern U.S. expanse, from parts of Washington andOregon down
to California and Arizona and over to Texas, which
MEChA claims to be a mythical homeland and seeks to reconquer for Mexico -
reconquista.”
