Mexico: Rife With Dangerous and Uncivilized Barbarians

If you were holed up in a cave a little while ago, perhaps assuming the fetal position in anticipation of the wonders of ObakaKare, you might have missed the fact that there were over 60 drug-related murders in Mexico very recently -- two of them being Americans -- and in the span of just one weekend.

In fact, in the past three years there have been more than 18,000 murders resulting just from drug violence in Mexico.

People complain about the casualties in Iraq; Mexico is more dangerous than Iraq. More journalists have been killed in Mexico than Iraq. Some have already quantified Mexico as a larger security threat to the United States than Iraq.

Mexicans also pay religious homage to the Saint Death cult figure, who is worshiped by thieves, drug-runners and some "law abiding" households. They say their "faith is being persecuted by the government's war on drug cartels." Numerous roadside shrines exist everywhere.

In the meantime, March 12th, from San Antonio News:

BROWNSVILLE — The Zapata County sheriff Thursday was questioning why a Mexican military helicopter was hovering over homes on the Texas side of the Rio Grande.

It was one of the more jarring incidents of the fourth week of border tensions sparked by drug killings, and rumors of such killings, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said he'd reviewed photos of the chopper flown by armed personnel Tuesday over a residential area known as Falcon Heights-Falcon Village near the binational Falcon Lake, just south of the Starr-Zapata county line. He said the helicopter appeared to have the insignia of the Mexican navy.

“It's always been said that the Mexican military does in fact ... that there have been incursions,” Gonzalez said. “But this is not New Mexico or Arizona. Here we've got a river; there's a boundary line. And then of course having Falcon Lake, Falcon Dam, it's a lot wider. It's not just a trickle of a river, it's an actual dam. You know where the boundary's at.”

The sighting came amid ongoing fighting between the Gulf Cartel and its former enforcers, Los Zetas. The mounting death toll and crisis of fear in cities across from the Texas border have drawn global attention, as has a news blackout in affected cities due to the kidnappings of eight Mexican journalists, at least one of whom was killed.

As violence continued Thursday with a highway shootout in Tamaulipas, a Senate subcommittee in Washington heard testimony that drug cartels are trying to infiltrate U.S. agencies along the border, with corruption cases among Homeland Security personnel on the rise.

This is a wide-open country, essentially run by drug cartels. Period.

Any American traveling to Mexico for a so-called "spring break" is an idiot.

Any American traveling to Mexico on a cruise line and actually stepping off-ship is an idiot.

Mexico is out of control.

And whilst these things manifest, Mr Obaka believes it's in our best interest to grant amnesty to those illiterates who have already caused an entire nation directly south of us to crash and burn.

Why? One word: votes. Period. A CIS study indicates so. PDF here.

And let's look at the facts as well. The American media and government would have you believe that Conservatives are the only ones proffering a "hard line" on legal immigration. Clearly, because they're simply racist -- ?

Then what would explain a CIS (Center for Immigration Studies) finding which indicates in part:

- In contrast to the leadership of many ethnic advocacy groups, most members of minority groups think immigration is too high.

Hispanics: 56 percent said it is too high; 7 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.

Asian-Americans: 57 percent said immigration is too high; 5 percent said too low; 18 percent just right.

African-Americans: 68 percent said it is too high; 4 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.

- Most members of minority groups do not feel that illegal immigration is caused by limits on legal immigration as many ethnic advocacy groups argue; instead, members feel it’s due to a lack of enforcement.

Hispanics: Just 20 percent said illegal immigration was caused by not letting in enough legal immigrants; 61 percent said inadequate enforcement.

Asian-Americans: 19 percent said not enough legal immigration; 69 percent said inadequate enforcement.

African-Americans: 16 percent said not enough legal immigration; 70 percent said inadequate enforcement.

- Most members of minority groups feel that there are plenty of Americans available to fill unskilled jobs.

Hispanics: 15 percent said legal immigration should be increased to fill unskilled jobs; 65 percent said there are plenty of Americans available to do unskilled jobs, employers just need to pay more.

Asian-Americans: 19 percent said increase immigration; 65 percent said plenty of Americans are available.

African-Americans: 6 percent said increase immigration; 81 percent said plenty of Americans are available.

- When asked to choose between enforcement that would cause illegal immigrants in the country to go home or offering them a pathway to citizenship with conditions, most members of minority groups choose enforcement.

Hispanics: 52 percent support enforcement to encourage illegals to go home; 34 percent support conditional legalization.

Asian-Americans: 57 percent support enforcement; 29 percent support conditional legalization.

African-Americans: 50 percent support enforcement; 30 percent support conditional legalization.

The CIS concludes:

Republicans are right to want to attract Latino voters. They are indisputably a growing share of the population and the electorate. But expanding the future flow of low-skilled immigrants into an economy ill-suited to promote their upward mobility will clearly be counterproductive given the evidence presented here. At the same time, Republican opposition to higher immigration levels can be too easily typecast as racist and xenophobic. This is because the party’s elites have failed to deliver a clear message that they want a pro-immigrant policy of reduced immigration and that these two goals are complementary. Such a policy would also prove to be the best means for moving immigrants toward the middle and upper income status that will promote their geographic and political mobility.

You grant amnesty to Mexicans, and you import Mexico into the United States.

If you want complete chaos in our nation, you simply continue on this track.

Remember: Mr Obaka is completely willing to sacrifice the safety of you, your family, your neighborhood. All for the sake of VOTES.
