In old Mexico, a gracious host greeting visitors to his home, regardless how humble, would throw wide the doors and exclaim, Welcome, please do come in, and where Americans would say "Make yourself home" proud Mexicans say "Mi casa es su casa" my house is your house. Mexican President Felipe Calderon, the leader of a dead beat government, unable, unwilling, and too grossly incompetent to provide for its' own people is now a sad addict living off the pitiful weekly paycheck remittances sent home by the survivors of the trek to El Norte. El President Felipe Calderon is fighting mad and fearful of losing the
"estimated $25 billion in remittances from Mexican citizens living and working here illegally, and at least another $25 billion generated by the illegal drug trade across our southern border."
Calderon solution:'take over the USA--Your country is Now My Country' says El Presidente's recent State of the Nation address:
"I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."
"And, for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided by principles, for the defense and protection of their rights."
So why is Mexican President Felipe Calderon growing a set of cojones? Why is protecting Mexican rights by violating American sovereignty? Why is he acting the part of the concerned hero for los abandonados, the abandoned ones, whose bodies litter the counties of our Southwest--bodies found with no ID and buried at county expense with a cryptic note attesting no more than date found, place found and summarily added to the Tomb of the Unknown Mexican Alien.
So much concerned for the peons that his policies of incompetence, corruption and shameful poverty have forced them North to work in the factories of America. As long as their remittances were flowing home the Calderon government did not give a hoot in hell about their condition. Just send the cash home. Now,however, we have a different story with security increased and on the watch for Satanic Orcs seeking to blow another hole in America
Calderon's sweet deal is coming to an end. Cash from peons and drug dealers for a government that is rapidly falling apart from law enforcement here and Unknown Orc pressures in Mexico.
TARGET: MEXICO
More global guerrilla activity in Mexico. Six new attacks by an unknown guerrilla group (an earlier claim by a leftist group was likely a false front) destroyed five PEMEX natural gas pipelines (likely through a timed detonation). 12,000 people were evacuated due to fire risk. This follows on the heals of the July pipeline attack that disrupted operations at 1,200 companies (including Honda, Nissan, and Kelloggs). If the earlier pattern of embedded timer-triggered explosives holds, there will be more explosions next week. Is this the start of the "Breaking Mexico" scenario? The sophistication of the earlier attack (given that it targeted critical valves -- systempunkts) and the ability to repeat the assault (so far, nobody has been caught) indicates that it has the potential. Global GuerrillaCalderon words are so much posturing and hot air. He is worried about the cash flow South getting cut off. And this has already started:
Earlier this month the Migration Policy Institute reported migrant remittances to Mexico has stagnated during the first half of 2007.
In 2006, Mexico reported an estimated $25.5 billion in remittances. And between 2003 and 2006 migrant remittances to Mexico grew on average 19.1 percent annually.
In the first quarter of 2007 remittances grew by just 0.6 percent, and many Mexican states saw significant declines, including Baja California, Guanajuato, Puebla, Yucatan and Baja California del Sur. Link
