Salon's Promotion of Illegal Immigration
Salon Says COME ON IN
Salon.com has an article today which talks about the 'threat' caused by vigilante anti-immigration groups which seek to detain illegal immigrants crossing the border with Mexico. On and on it goes, for four pages, outlining numerous donations some of the groups affiliated with this movement have taken from right-wing and white supremacist organizations and turning into heroes the undocumented and illegal Mexicans who cross the southern border everyday. It seems the main point of the article is that Americans who no longer will tolerate illegal immigration are a bigger threat to America than the millions of illegal immigrants who trudge across the border every year.
Well, on that issue Salon.com is dead wrong. Illegal immigration is wrong and I'm not concerned about the reasons why people come here. I have friends who have waited, legally, for years to immigrate to the United States. Why does someone who crosses the border illegally deserve the right to stay while everyone else follows the rules? Basically what we're doing is rewarding criminal behavior on the part of illegals.
It is also concerning that over 1/2 of Mexicans believe that the American Southwest, encompassing Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah and Nevada is legally and morally owned by Mexico, according to a recent Gallup poll taken in Mexico. Right by their side you have radical UC college professors in the US cheering on secession: "A breakaway of U.S. states is a distinct possibility, according to prominent Chicano activist and University of California at Riverside professor Armando Navarro. In an interview, Navarro would not answer directly whether he shared separatist aspirations, but said that if demographic and social trends continue, secession is inevitable.
"If in 50 years most of our people are subordinated, powerless, exploited and impoverished, then I will say to you that there are all kinds of possibilities for movements to develop like the ones that we've witnessed in the last few years all over the world, from Yugoslavia to Chechnya," Navarro said.
"A secessionist movement is not something that you can put away and say it is never going to happen in the United States," he continued. "Time and history change."
In a 1995 speech to Chicano activists, Navarro said demographic trends are leading to "a transfer of power" to the ethnic Mexican community in the Southwest. He notes that most studies show that within the next 20 to 30 years Latinos will comprise more than 50 percent of the population of California. This fact, and other cultural and social developments, are opening the door for "self-determination" and even "the idea of an Aztlan," he said in his speech".
Scary stuff and it seems to me a lot more threatening than ranchers and others banding together because they're tired of illegal immigrants and drug smugglers crossing their land.
