I’m Not The Only One

The following is in response to “A Letter From A Republican to Hispanics” by Dennis Prager.  Reading will more easily put the following into its proper context.

Prager begins by addressing all the illegal aliens within America’s Latino community, despite the fact that most Latinos are not only here legally, but were born here.  And of those of us born here, the majority of us are not “anchor babies” but the descendants of immigrants and of people already residing in the lands the U.S. has conquered (i.e., Puerto Rico, two-thirds of Mexico known today as the U.S. southwest, Texas, etc.) whose ancestors became U.S. residents (not citizens, at least not right away, and certainly not first-class citizens) not by choice but by as a result of Manifest Destiny, the sick ideology that demands the United States dominate the entire Western Hemisphere.

If you’re not familiar with the term, Mexican hunting refers to a recent practice of white Americans (some blacks, too, although to a lesser extent) of looking for people who “look” Mexican and then beating them, sometimes to death.  Of course, for most white people, almost all Latinos can be visually mistaken for a Mexican.  Already, an Ecuadorian immigrant has been beaten to death and a Colombian immigrant was almost beaten to death.

It’s great to see that blacks and whites in America have transcended their rocky historical relations to come together to attack Latinos. I also find it interesting that this sort of violence is primarily taking place in states like California, New Jersey and New York and not places like Arkansas, Georgia or Arizona. (more…)

Yeah, I figured that headline would catch your attention.

How does legalizing drugs keep Mexicans from  illegally crossing our borders, or even encourage those already in the U.S. to go back where they came from?  To answer that  question, we first have to understand why they’re leaving, and it isn’t just because of a lack of economic opportunity.

Mexicans are leaving their country in droves because of the Mexican Drug War, which is in reality the United States imposing its will on Mexico to find and capture producers and traffickers of illegal drugs.   Our neighbor to the south is literally engaged in a civil war between the Mexican government and Mexican drug cartels. In 2005 the Pew Hispanic Center, a division of the Pew Research Center, released the results of a poll which indicated that 40% of Mexicans stated they would come to the United States if they had the means and opportunity to do so, and 20% said they would come to the U.S. illegally.  I’ve heard this poll quoted over and over in news stories regarding immigration (almost all immigration stories involve Mexicans, as if all illegal aliens were from Mexico).  Has anyone ever asked why so many people are tempted to leave their homeland?  Has anyone ever asked what the hell is going on in Mexico that so many Mexicans feel this way?

Well, every Latino blogger seems to have something to say about the whole mess in Arizona, so I might as well say my piece too.

The new law is ridiculous, for several reasons.  Let’s cut the bullshit and not pretend Arizona is looking to keep out illegal Canadians, Englishmen or Germans with this law.  It’s the illegal Mexican immigrants that have white Arizonans going nuts, and it’s that specific group for whom the law is intended.

Law enforcement are required to ask the legal status of anyone who “appears” as if they may be in this country illegally.  Aside from raiding the parking lot at Home Depot, how do they actually accomplish this?  How does one “look” illegal?  Furthermore, if such a thing existed as an illegal “appearance”, wouldn’t illegal aliens in Arizona deliberately change their appearance so as not to “look illegal”?

Remember John Rocker?

In 2000, John Rocker was a relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, and was actually enjoying a pretty successful career.  But that same year he said the following in a Sports Illustrated interview:

“Imagine having to take the 7 train [in Queens] to the ballpark [at Shea Stadium], looking like you’re in Beruit riding next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old Mom with four kids. It’s depressing……The biggest thing I don’t like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?”

That pretty much ruined his career.  He later apologized for the remarks, and upon playing the Mets later that year at Shea Staium, New York fans chanted “asshole” when he came onto the field.  Three years late his MLB career came to an abrupt end.

Fast forward 10 years.  It appears African-Americans are once again breaking the color barrier, not only in the White House but in bigotry and color prejudice as well.  In a move that probably makes John Rocker proud, Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter, who is African-American, used an interview in USA to spew his own hateful thoughts for Latino baseball players, particularly those with dark skin, wide noses, thick lips and kinky hair.

I was elated to discover this morning that notorious Hispanophobe and major league douche bag Lou Dobbs has left CNN.  Dobbs has used CNN to spread the rumor regarding President Obama’s birth certificate, and has spread many rumors regarding illegal aliens, particularly a malicious one blaming illegal aliens bringing into America leprosy from Mexico.

Dobbs is such a racist he even got into a shouting match with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly and actually made the Fox anchor seem like a board member on the National Council of La Raza in comparison. (more…)
