The Southwest under Mexican Rule?

I am going to harp on this just a bit more. Just what is it that some people believe is so great and superior about the Mexican government in comparison to the United States of America that some groups like La Raza and MALDEF want to return the entire southwest back to Mexican rule? Now Mexico may be a great vacation destination and honestly most people I know who are Mexican citizens or of Mexican decent are good, honest people. But Mexico and politics that's different. No thanks.One "export" we seem to be dealing with way too much is drugs, illegal drugs. My local newspaper had this to say about Mexico’s war on drugs:

The most recent official toll of the drug war dead came in mid-June, when the attorney general said 24,800 had died. Valdes did not specify a time frame for the new statistics.
The government does not regularly break down murder statistics, but leading newspapers who kept their own counts say last month was the deadliest yet under Calderon: According to national daily Milenio, 1,234 were killed in July. The Mexican government says most victims were involved in the drug trade.  – Daily Breeze

Now there is also rumor of a multi-million dollar hit out on the famous Sherriff Joe from Arizona! Well, there you go, another fine demonstration of the awesome way things would be if we just let La Raza have its’ way; more killings, more drugs, maybe even the legalization of drugs.  No thank you.

La Raza gets its' wish...

OK, just for sake of argument, let's say that La Raza gets their wish, they "re-conquer" the entire tri-state area  (wait that's Professor Dufenshmirtz) I mean the entire Southwest. So, they "re-conquer the entire Southwest and...say here you are Mexico, desfruta! Will Mexico deal with the added responsibilities with the same integrity, fairness and ability to provide jobs that they do now with just Mexico? Will the Mexican government recognize La Raza as a legitimate political  party? Will all the world be set aright and milk and honey flow?

Then, if they do re-conquer the entire Southwest they will have to negotiate with the drug cartels, the Mexican Mafia (or government, it gets a bit confusing who's who), and the infamously corrupt police force. How does La Raza think their wonderful ideals  will be accepted by the Mexican government?  If they do get through all the corruption they will only find a corrupt government battling it out with drug cartels for power?  What will La Raza do when they are not heard then?

Well maybe La Raza has thought this far ahead and plans to appoint leadership and assume control themselves? Control of what? All the empty businesses vacated by non-natives. Just in case you would like a preview of that take a realistic look at Cuba. Where did industry go? The only thing that remained was the fields and a dictator who had no clue how to manage them. Do you think Silicon Valley and all their human resources will just sort of hang in there and hope for the best? What about Toyota and Honda? Not a chance in the world. All non-farmed based businesses will evacuate faster than you can say, "Donde vas?"

Well, I'm just wondering what La Raza really thinks will happen.

Are you for us or against us?

Are you for us or are you against us? Simple question. Simple answer; yes or no.
Can someone be anti-American and be an American? Doesn't that sound...contradictory? It does to me. Yet, what I hear some groups saying sounds a lot like that.

Have you heard of LA RAZA? They are a group that basically doesn't believe in borders and profess anti-imperialism bla bla bla. Throw in some Marxist ideology, blame European whites for all your troubles and call yourself a re-conquistador and there you have it, LA RAZA.

What makes this sort of treasonous spittle dangerous is that it is being forced upon High School students by revisionist History teachers on a daily basis. I have a real problem with this. History teachers should be teaching the History and values of the United States of America, not a group that is set at destroying it. Honestly, I think any teacher that teaches such ideas should have their credentials taken away. I am a teacher and an proud American citizen.

Really, if you don't like America, go someplace else. I'm sure any other country would love to have large groups of anti-imperialist Marxist teachers influencing  their children. I'll bet any Central American or South American country would gladly take them all. If not, maybe Cuba?

Even Tony Blair, the former liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain basically said if immigrants didn't agree with British ideals they were free to go somewhere else. But, here in the USA we have a different form of liberal, the kind where the wife of the President to be wasn't proud to be an American. I am more than a little concerned that this faction has such freedom. As Americans we do have freedom, but not freedom to destroy American ideals from within and teach them to impressionable children.

America, we need to do some house cleaning. More on LA RAZA tomorrow.
