Response to Posted Comments RE: Mexican Immigrants
Recently I authorized the postings of a couple of comments to my blog blaming America for much of the corruption and misery suffered by Mexican nationals that the writers claim is justification for the onslaught of illegal immigration of Mexicans into the United States. After reading the writers' comments, I can’t blame them for their points of view, but several "wrongs" don’t make a "right".
To wit, after watching the movie, Border 2008 starring Jennifer Lopez, I was both horrified and angry about the usury and plight of women of Juarez, Mexico. Besides working long shifts for little pay, many are raped, murdered, and dumped into mass graves! To date the women go unprotected to and from work and the authorities look the other way.
The movie was based upon appalling facts that reveal corruption on both sides of the border by US and Japanese industrialist, the rich and powerful, and politicians. Thus, besides NAFTA being one step toward an American Union that imports Mexican poverty to the United States and is partly the cause of the US economic calamity currently being experienced by lower and middle class Americans, it is also the prime factor that has caused the plight of Mexican workers and their desperate need to escape to the United States in search of work, liberty, and justice.
The bottom line exclaimed near the end of the movie is that every country has two sets of laws; one set for the rich and powerful and another set for the common people. Unfortunately the rich and powerful are not held accountable for rape, murder, and whatever other evil acts they commit! Corrupt politicians and law enforcement personnel on both sides of the border act as if their hands are not as bloody as those who actually commit such atrocities against others, but they share the negative karma that will come back to bite them in the ass in this life or, if they’re lucky, in the next.
Although I don’t condone the damnation of America as a whole as does the reverend Wright, I do hope that those who cause or contribute to cause great suffering by others in their greed for money and power are damned. Furthermore, it is my fondest wish that President-elect Barrack Obama sees his way to be a centrist and humanitarian who will clean house on our side of the border and export the American dream to Mexico instead of importing their corruption and poverty which President Bush, some of his predecessors, and other powerful people have fostered in their quest to create an American Union at the demise of the American people, our constitutional liberties, and sovereignty!
God help the sons’ of bitches, I hope they rot in hell! Maybe I finally understand what Jesus meant when he said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven!
Throughout my blog I enumerate conservative and some truly progressive principles and actions that would solve most of what plagues the people of the United States and Mexico, but none seem to be in the best interest of the rich and powerful but would certainly return America to its greatness and hopefully uplift Mexico!
