Gosh, the inhabitants of this continent over a thousand years ago had a lousy immigration policy. First they let those drunken, war-mongering Vikings in. Then they let some murderous Spaniards in.
Pete Seeger captured this mistake with his tale of two Indians watching a little boat come ashore from a bigger boat. A man stepped out of the little boat and said "Buenos dias, señores." One Indian looked at the other and said, "Well, there goes the neighborhood!"
And this invasion from Europe just grew and grew until it was a flood that overwhelmed and often killed the original inhabitants.
I think these illegal aliens should go back where they came from.
Gosh! What am I going to do? I am a descendant of these illegal aliens. But how can I "go back where I came from"? I would have to be sent back in pieces. I have known ancestors from England, Germany, and Poland, and probably as my name suggests, from Ireland.
Interestingly, many of the ancestors of these "illegal" immigrants once upon a time freely crossed the Rio Grande, moving back and forth for trade and for better weather. Then a bunch of these Europeans decided they wanted the land north of the Rio Grande, and...

The Anglo-Mexican War: Ten Years in
By 2050 Mexico had restored much of the area of Aztec and Mayan control, from the Rio Grande to the Panama Canal. In 2050 Mexico saw its chance to expand its control. The U.S. was now bogged down in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Korea. In the name of the freedom of Latinos in the Southwest U.S., Mexico invaded California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
After pushing the overburdened U.S. Army out and quelling the Tea Party Patriots, Mexican forces met resistance from Los Insurgentes, a loose confederation of Apache, Hopi, Navaho, and descendants of immigrants from Mexico.
Losses for the Mexican army are now over 15,000. Five thousand of those were killed when Los Insurgentes lured the Mexican Army into the Grand Canyon and then blew up the Glen Canyon Dam.
The fiercest fighting has been in East Los Angeles where many of the gangs have ambushed Mexican patrols. The gangs have used the sewer system to great effect to move around the city. The Mexican army has tried booby traps, tear gas, and other means to hinder the Los Insurgents; but Los Insurgents often seem to be able to turn these back on the Mexican Army.
Mexico City itself had been filled with demonstrations in support of the troops and demonstrations protesting the war. One of the biggest scandals was the discovery that the government had hired drug lords as contractors to quell the violence in the American cities. The actions of the contractors have further alienated the residents and all but eliminated any cooperation with the Mexican Army.
Although President Volpe was re-elected in a landslide because he played on the patriotism of the Mexican people, the cost of the war in its tenth year is draining his support rapidly. People complain that taxes are too high and that the government has done little to alleviate the three-year-long recession.
This just in! President Volpe has appointed Pedro Santos as Generalissimo of La Reconquista. President Volpe said that Generalissimo Santos has a plan to bring the war to a close in two years. An editorial in La Jornada pointed out that Generalissimo Santos' predecessor said the same thing two years ago.
