Alien Nation - Legal and Non - Simplified
Some Bleeding Hearts would have us believe that this is a nation of Aliens.
Sure, once upon a time hoards of persons from Europe invaded the 500+ nations we collectively now refer to as "Native America". Then they put in orders with slave traders to kidnap and enslave and then ship here hundreds of thousands of "Native Africans". Oriental people were not of the mind to allow total enslavement, but they came, too, and soon became the underpaid workers that the railroads and western cities were built upon.
Which ancestors were yours?
Mine are a mix of European and Native American. I feel like a mix of European and Native American (specifically Penobscot and Tuscarora). That makes me able to hold a dual opinion on the subject of Aliens in the good ol' USA.
America is not just the USA. America is divided into two continents, North and South. Between them is the bridge we call Central America. Central America is now also often referred to as "Latin America". Why is that, do you think?
Latins - people with ancestry originating in Spain - invaded and overthrew the "Native American" nations in Central America, killed most of the native people off, and enslaved the remainder, using the women for sex and labor and the men for sex and labor. Sound familiar? But that's not THE point.
Our closest American neighbors are Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
Canada is divided into "Provinces" that are similar to, but larger than, our states. Though it was the French that mainly invaded Canada, the English made their way there, too. Most people in Canada are English-speaking. Quebec, however, is different. It's in Quebec that most of the people of French ancestry have settled, and by decree they passed a law to make Quebec's primary language to be French. When you go to school in Quebec, you learn French first, English second. Ever been to Quebec? Sharpen up your French language skills because it's how people communicate to each other. Keep that in mind.
Mexico, our southern neighbor, has "states". Those states, however, are more like Provinces. The poorest, the most rebellious, are the states that have a mostly "Native American" population (Native America does NOT stop at our borders). They have been kept "out of the loop" by the Spaniards since the first Spanish ship landed on their shores.
Latins run the Mexican government. The government is SO corrupt that while they've been padding their own pockets and neglecting the underclass, the underclass has been busy getting angry. The underclass has learned how to circumnavigate the law. They flaunt their lawlessness. It's a means of rebellion.
That's the gist of what goes on in Mexico, simplified. Everyone (well, we're generalizing, but go with it for a moment or two) from the ground up is breaking some kind of law. The country teeters on the verge of civil war ala Ireland. The rebellious states have again and again taken up arms against the central government and troops are regularly sent in to "quell" the uprisings. (Keep this in mind, too ) Yet our government and the Government of Mexico are buds.
Cuba is our next closest Central American neighbor. If there was a bridge or tunnel connecting us with them it would take us an hour and a half at 60 MPH to get to Cuba.
Before we cut ties with Cuba in the 60s it was the playground of the USA, what the Bahamas and Jamaica are today. Cuba was like Miami Beach East. It rocked! The big hotels were American owned and Mafia run, like in Las Vegas. There was gambling, prostitution, booze and drugs - you know, all the fun things Americans seem to enjoy. And our pals, the Cuban government leaders, were corrupt as hell.
So the people rose up. Castro took over, and it soon became clear to him that the Americans didn't approve of his rebellion (jeeze - we can't have our own poor people and workers taking tips from Castro and his rebellion - we'd have another Civil War on our hands!). So, wise leader that Castro was, he found some other nation to help supply his people with goods and services. He had the conviction (right or wrong) that Communism would work for Cuba.
So he began to close the casinos and shut down the wild life and corrupt institutions that Americans had brought to Cuba. As we backed away the Soviet Union took up the slack, and soon they were demanding favors in return for their service to Cuba, and it eventually took the form of putting nuclear missile launchers and missles into Cuba, aimed at the USA. You know the rest.
What you may not know because it's underplayed a great deal, was that when formerly wealthy and upper middle classed Cubans were forced to live like ordinary people they didn't like it, and they bought and rented as many boats and planes as they could and got the hell out, most of them coming to America via the Miami Underground Railroad. Illegal aliens hitting our shores in the thousands. Did we mind? Not so much. Why?
First of all, they were refugees from Communism, our dreaded enemy. Second of all because they were professional, contributing members of Cuban society, educated and easily able to adapt to American life. Some walked right into professional jobs here, others worked their way back to the top. Third, many of them spoke English because they were from a time when Cuba and America were buds, and English was spoken almost as frequently as Cuban Spanish.
Somehow, our current government has screwed up on their history lessons, and think that by welcoming Illegal Aliens (Not refugees, mind you!) who are mainly under-classed poor and the criminal element (is not illegal entry the same as the RAPE of American law?) and those who are too cowardly to help change their own government's policies (Mexico is NOT a Dictatorship!), they are being kind.
BULLSHIT! Kind to WHOM? What about the American Citizen who must now pick up the tab for this LIBERALLY spending bunch of ass-kissers we have in Congress who are falling over each other thinking they are helping poor defenseless refugees (NOT!) who only want a better life?
This is NOT the America I used to know. Not the United States of America, anyway!
This is MEXAMERICA.
Face it, Canadians are not rushing the borders by the millions. Nor are any other of the nationalities of the world. WHY, we even turn back CUBAN refugees and Dominicans who arrive offshore in rickety old boats, fleeing their own sucky governments, yet we want to allow millions of MEXICANS to take these jobs no "American" wants.
AND, has anyone even ASKED the Mexicans if they WANT to become Citizens? What makes us think they do? Yeah, right. That's why they wave their Mexican flags. That's why they want all road signs to be in English and Spanish. Some actually LIKE being Mexican Citizens and have no desire to change. Why should they when they can freely come back and forth across the border without being stopped, and when stopped they are merely transported back to try again? Has this country become SO egotistical that we just ASSUME everyone would rather be a U.S. Citizen than a citizen of their own country?
Why should they when there are no borders anymore to protect what little benefit there is to being a U.S. Citizen?
