THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT'S ATTEMPT TO DICTATE
AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAW & POLICY
By Christopher G. Adamo
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: A CONTINUING & GROWING THREAT TO AMERICAN NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY -- THE
MASSIVE INVASION OF THE U.S.A. BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM MEXICO: AN INVASION ENCOURAGED, AIDED, &
ABETTED BY THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
FULL STORY:
By far the most dramatic menace to this nation’s future and safety emanates from the cauldrons of Islamist extremism. But Americans
are also in danger of losing their country on another front. A far larger incursion into the American homeland is being carried out via
its southern border with Mexico. Though an ongoing problem for many years, the instigators of this massive flow of illegal aliens
from Mexici into the U.S.A. now apparently believe they are ready to take their attack to the next level.
During a January 28 radio interview, Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez threatened the State of Arizona with legal
action through the international courts, action to be initiated in order to overturn Arizona's Proposition 200, a ballot initiative lawfully
passed last Fall to curb state expenditures on illegal aliens.
Derbez plans to initially use the “legal capacities” of the United States to achieve his goal. But, if that doesn’t work, he will resort to
the intervention of “international tribunals.”
Momentarily sidestepping the absurdity of granting any legal capacity to an international organization regarding strictly internal
issues, consider the larger picture of what is actually being attempted, as a foreign power now makes threats against an individual
American state.
The United States Constitution, in its original form, was never designed to put the U.S. central government in charge of regulating
minute details in the lives of Americans. Basically, the federal government had two purposes, which were to act as an arbiter
between the individual states, and to collectively represent those states in the face of foreign challenges, whether diplomatic or
military.
Yet the federal leviathan, which grew monstrously beyond its original boundaries, has become an overwhelming burden of
bureaucratic entanglements to the citizenry. Meanwhile the Mexican government, a foreign entity, seeks to intimidate and ultimately
dictate the policies of an individual American state.
Thus far, it has done so with little or no official backlash from the United States government. So, just as those in the U.S. national
government are increasingly ignoring the constitutional limitations to their authority, so are legitimate constitutional responsibilities
to protect the American people from foreign incursion being abandoned, and American citizens being left defenseless.
Prior to the recent Iraqi elections, it became apparent that foreign insurgents were causing much of the disorder and mayhem
plaguing that country. Thus the major thrust of American and Iraqi military action focused on securing that nation’s borders.
Yet when a similar incursion threatens to undermine the security and sovereignty of the United States of America, this country’s
national government sees fit to respond with indifference and platitudes.
Of course, Derbez is hardly acting alone. Mexican President Vicente Fox has long rejected the term “illegal alien,” claiming, instead,
that the invaders are “undocumented workers,” with the right to enter and obtain residency and employment in the U.S.A. Thus,
Fox is displaying a total disregard for American law.
Fox has been unrestrained in his contempt for the very concept of American sovereignty, promoting the concept of “dual citizenship,”
whereby Mexican immigrants would conceivably be eligible to vote in both countries.
Increasingly, his long-term goal appears to be an effort to transform the Southwestern United States into a Mexican “Sudetenland,”
which was the heavily Germanic region of Czechoslovakia that Hitler exploited as an excuse to invade and occupy that country.
Though nobody is suggesting a full-scale invasion by Fox’s armies, he increasingly seeks to dictate and define laws and regulations
on this side of the border, so as to maximize his ability to siphon and bleed as much as possible back into his own nation’s economy.
A proper response to such audacity would be to warn Fox that America is just as likely to bend under his diplomatic pressure as it
would from the terrorist acts of al-Qa'ida. Unfortunately, U.S. President George Bush has already given far too much ground, even
embracing the term “undocumented worker,” and advocating amnesty for those who have flouted U.S. law to enter the country .
Such a stance completely ignores the degradation to American society that results from the mass influx of illegals. Among Arizona’s
Hispanic population, forty percent supported Proposition 200. Clearly, these citizens realize that they have every bit the vested
interest in the future of America as does the rest of its population, and comprehend the threat posed to it by the unrestricted
invasion of illegals.
It is altogether an abandonment of U.S constitutional principles that Arizona should be left on its own, fighting to maintain control of
its destiny. If Arizona can be isolated and pressured in such a manner, what other state, anywhere in the nation, can consider itself
safe? Indeed, the situation ominously suggests that a sovereign American nation may no longer exist.
