Mexico, A Failed Country: Murder, Illegal Immigration, Arizona, and Anti-Americanism (Is President Obama Anti-American?)

This is another dispatch from your war correspondent in El Paso, across from the war zone in Juarez, Mexico.


On Saturday, the El Paso Times carried yet another story about murder in Juarez--a daily story in El Paso, although still pretty much ignored by the CORRUPT, national mainstream media. The mainstream media--idiots, as well as corrupt--were much more worried about the rather weak Arizona law trying to sTOP the spread of this violence into the United States than abut the violence itself. Thus, the mainstream media stories over the weekend were mainly abut the POLITICAL "protests" (not a "grass rots" movement like the tea party people, but an ACTIVIST attempt to politicize and misrepresent the Arizona law) in Phoenix about the Arizona law. Yes, there was mention of the people demonstrating in favor of the Arizona law, but little mention about how PERVERSE the priorities in the media are to place such emphasis on this meaningless political posturing instead of what is actually happening along the border. The PEOPLE of Arizona--and El Paso, for that matter--are fully aware that it is ridiculous to worry about "harassment" of latinos, when so many latinos are DYING in Mexico--with the danger that it will spread across the border in a major way at any time. Indeed, the Arizona law--and its popularity with the Arizona people--can be explained by the fact that the violence HAS spread across the border more in Arizona than anywhere else (yet). The violence, for example, has not spread across the border--in a major way--at El Paso, even though people from El Paso continue to DIE in Juarez (see my previous article). I digress (not really).


The Saturday El Paso Times article was about how NINE people had been murdered in Juarez (that many bodies found) in the previous day or so. The article noted that the number of murders since the beginning of the year is now above 1,000 (on track for at least 2500 or so again this year). In other words, six or more people A DAY are being murdered in Juarez. The article further noted that more than 52000 people have been murdered in Juarez in a little more than two years. Yet, the President of Mexico came here and lectured US--with the approval of President Obama--about the Arizona law. Maybe--just a thought--the President of Mexico should worry about his own FAILED country, while we do more worrying abut the contagion of that failure spreading to this country (as Arizona is doing, and a lot of the ordinary people in the country--as distinguished from the mainstream media, activists, and our political "elites").


If nine non-Americans are killed in Iraq in a day, we usually hear about it--or if it happens in Afghanistan. Yet, the mainstream media remains much more interested in the POLITICS of complaints about the Arizona law than the violence happening right next dorr to us--as close as a thousand FEET from El Paso and well within five miles from where I am typing this.


Nope. CORRUPT and incompetent are mild words for these people of the mainstream media. And "anti-American" is the proper word for most of the "activists" trying to make so much out of misrepresenting the Arizona law. Yes, I am afraid that latter word also applies to OUR PRESIDENT, as well as those people of the mainstream media (the way they think of ordinary Americans as they do their best to harm us all, including latino Americans like my two 50% Hispanic daughters, with as much stake in this country as anyone else).


P.S. Some people suggest I am too "harsh" for using a term like "anti-American". I do NOT apologize for it, and will continue to do so. If the glove fits, wear it (O.J. reference). You will remember that these are the people--the people who get hysterical when they are criticized in "harsh" terms--who call me, and basically every single person supporting the Arizona law (which means most Americans), a RACIST. You can't get any "harsher" than that, and I have nothing but contempt for these people for that tactic alone. There has to be a special circle of Dante's Hell reserved for people who play politics with race and ethnicity, to the extreme detriment of the people they profess to be trying to "help".
