The Audacity of Kleptocracy

President Felipe Calderón of Mexico is mad at us for not taking his excess population off his hands and turning them into earners of foreign exchange for Mexico. What bold-faced chutzpah. He is actually annoyed that we are trying to enforce our own immigration laws. He considers Mexico to be anywhere a Mexican lives, so that he has a right to tell us what we can and cannot do with the Mexican biomass here in the USA, whether they are here legally or illegally.

He says that ”Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.” In other words, for purposes of relieving Mexico of its poor, the US is really an extension of Mexico. But, of course, this is not a symmetrical relationship: We certainly can’t go over the border and do what we do best (invest; start businesses. Or whatever under the protection of US law, The Kleptocracy wants us to be their dumping ground and cash cow - and we are not allowed to complain or react.

Well, the US has been lying down and exposing its throat to all manner of 3rd world human debris for so long that they now expect it as their right.

If indeed Mexico is wherever Mexicans are, then we should carry this logic forward to its natural limits and annex Mexico: “One country; two peoples”. At least this way all Mexicans would get the benefits of American law and justice and the Americans would be able to invest and own assets in Mexico protected by American law.
