What the Minutemen look like from streets of Oaxaca
Via Lucianne:

SPIT SPIT SPIT

SNIP

He said, "Pinches gueros culeros que no quieren que progrese la raza (Damn white boys, they don't want us to make progress)," and "Que mal les hace uno (What harm do we do them)?"


And here I thought "La Raza" means race.

You need the white man to progress, what does that say about your socioeconomic policies? I'm getting tired of getting blamed for frog/spik colonialism.

SNIP

was in a bar with my friends, drinking and joking around until the soccer game on the TV was interrupted by a news flash about the Minuteman. Everyone gathered around this older man who said he was a lawyer. "The only thing that these people are doing is pissing off the narcos, the coyotes and the Mara Salvatrucha (a gang that spans Latin America)," he said. Some of the folks laughed.

In the neighborhood where I was raised in Oaxaca, the narcos have a pretty strong following. They are thought to be generous with their allies and dangerous to their enemies.

Even though people know the narcos are up to no good, the drug lords are thought of as people who don't forget where they came from, and don't forget their folks.

Before he left he bar, the lawyer said, "El narco no perdona, y la sangre va a tener que ser derramada (The narco doesn't forgive, and blood will have to be spilled)." The room cheered. Copyright PNS

They really are clueless moonbats, aren't they? At some point we will not tolerate drug lords taking our people out.

I remember Kiki Camerena and what happened when we closed the border.

#2 I have a really, really bad feeling that Mara Salvatrucha is well on the way to becoming the next al-Qaeda. It is spreading now over two continents, and while al-Qaeda worships death and chaos out of religion, MS does so out of the pursuit of money and power.

#3 I read a technothriller in the 90s about mexican narco gangs being the pretext for a US invasion of Mexico. How much of a fight could Mexico put up?

MIght be the best thing to happen to the people of Mexico if we invaded, cleaned the place up, and set up a proper government.

#4 Isn't it something like this that lead the US to send down Black Jack Pershing before WW I. He almost caught Poncho Villa.

#7 the Mexican's crossing the border has been tolerated because for the most part, they are not violent and they are hard workers who contribute to our society.

Good grief, people, take a lesson from history now and then. Attack America if you feel like having us descend on you and crush you.

#9 More false honor to masked their failed social-economic-political and xenophobic behaviors of their peers and their government.

#10 Mexico needs to have adult supervision rammed down their fake-nationalistic machismo throats. Either by US intervention or uprising - with all it's uncontrolled possibilities

I'd be in favor of a punitive expedition. Go in, break a LOT of shit, then leave and let the rest of Central America divide it up between themselves.

I'm kinda liking this. Let's just proceed to the collateral damage and be done!

#14 Heck, collateral damage - in Mexico? What that would take all of all lunch break. Just leave the coast line for spring break.

I am afraid that you will need to adjust your statement---Mexicans used to make contributions to the economy and used to be fairly law-abiding (with the exception of the illegal bit). We are now seeing that they have discovered the Welfare State and are hard at work taking advantage of the system. At this point each immigrant is prbably taking 1.1 times what they contribute . . . if they are here legally. The illegals take about 2.5 of what they contribute. It is choking CA hosptials to death. How long before it begins to choke the healthcare systems in other states?

Time to take care of the problem, one way or another.

#18 I'd like the liberation of baja - nice beaches, surf and once you get past the border (hustlers), the people are really nice. A one-time strike makes me wanna get my Wild Bunch DVD out (again) for review :-)
