Tancredo: Illegal Immigration Props Up Mexico's Dysfunctional State

    Tom Tancredo

    February 26, 2017


    The big news this week seems to be that the Mexican government is not happy with President Trump’s border control plans. That headline comes on the heels of the news that the sun is hot. Imagine that!


    Mexico is not happy that President Trump appears to be serious about building a border wall and halting the cross-border human traffic. The improvements in border security promised in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 as a trade-off for the general amnesty never happened, and illegal border crossings have trended upwards again after a brief decline connected to the 2008-10 recession. Apprehensions of illegal border jumpers on the southwest border have increased every year but one since 2010, and increased 23 percent from 2015 to 2016.


    Because of the relative ease of crossing the border and Mexico’s liberal definition of Mexican citizenship, we have the situation recently described by author Ann Coulter, who discovered that persons of Mexican origin now residing in the United States — legal and illegal– are equal in number to over 25 percent of the 130 million population of Mexico.

...persons of Mexican origin now residing in the United States — legal and illegal– are equal in number to over 25 percent of the 130 million population of Mexico...

I don't know if that's true or not, but if so, it's a shocking number.

A failed state, at least at times and in places.

I saw a prediction back in the 1990's that if the US truly built a complete border wall and sealed the border, the Mexican government would be embroiled in a hot revolution within two years.

Think it would take that long?

Mexico is a racist state.   White-Europeans control virtually all the wealth in Mexico.  It's no wonder they want to foist their "untermenschen" on the US.

I think the article said one year, but I was giving them the benefit of the doubt and said two. Most of the peasants in Mexico are pretty passive and might take a little longer to get truly spun up into open revolt.

They're "passive" because they know they can come to the US.  Those days are over.

James Michener wrote "Texas" and "Mexico," and both books describe the history of Mexico.

He described the status ranking, by race as it was in the colonial days.

--Highest status=born in Spain
--Next highest=born in Mexico to two Spanish parents
--Next Mestizo or part Spanish, part Native Indian
--Lowest is Native (like an American Indian)

Articles not long ago, mention that virtually the entire entertainment industry seen on Mexican television, is mostly European ancestral mix; eg. few with very much Native blood.

There's a LOT people don't know about Mexican history, especially the massacres committed by the government.  No wonder the poor people there consider the Narcos to be "heroes."

Here is but one example from 1968.

It's how the wealthy in Mexico and their Government deal with their poor problem...they ship them to us.

Same way the elitists in Hawaii dealt with their homeless problem.  Ship them to California.  And why not?  It's not like anyone will notice a 'few' more homeless folks lounging around.  Especially not in San Francisco.

Exactly.  The way I descried it was how an executive with a Milling Group in Mexico that my dad does business with described it to me.  There is no middle class to speak of in Mexico.  You have the rich and you have the poor and the rich don't like to see the poor as they drive the streets...so the solution is to ship them North and let them become our problem.

Tell us how they "ship them North?"

I have heard the attraction for coming North is jobs, incomes, welfare/benefits, etc.

I say ship them all to Trudeau-Land, he loves him some illegal aliens.

They write a book on how to do it and pass it out.

The Mexican government drew fire from American advocates of tighter borders on Wednesday for publishing a pamphlet that instructs migrants how to safely enter the United States illegally and live there without being detected.

Officials here say the small booklet, illustrated in comic-book style, is not intended to encourage illegal immigration, but to reduce the loss of life. Last year, more than 300 migrants died while crossing rivers and deserts to reach the United States.

The guidebook also advises would-be migrants to avoid hiring professional immigrant-smugglers and to refuse to carry packages for others. It also instructs people never to lie to border officials, carry false documents or resist arrest.

There is a middle class in Mexico; I've got to think some of it is corrupt but despite the cartels, Mexico's economy has been growing over the past several years.

14th largest economy in the world, not bad really.

Actually, in Mexico, those Zapatista revolutionaries in Chiapas with that leftist teaching that isn't quite socialism, I've thought a few times, might be the best way for them to go, it hasn't worked in Cuba or Venezuela; but somewhere along the line, there might be a plan.



Heck, American plants have even gone down on the border to build factories in Mexico to find bodies at the construction site.
