Do you remember when America wasn't so great? Remember things like slavery, Jim Crow, Women's Suffrage, Civil Rights, etc? What did Americans do to make their country better? Did we leave or did we band together and fight for our rights? Did any of us go back to Europe and demand that we be let back in or did we realize that where we were born and where our parents were born was indeed our country? I believe American citizens believed in democracy and saw the potential in our government and that is why we fought, we protested, some of us died all for a better country.
Why isn't anyone from Mexico fighting to make their country better? The actuality is that Mexico itself is not poor. There are more than enough riches and abundance. And if people that come to this country really cared about their country, the country whose flag they wave repeatedly, why are they not coming together and fighting for rights there? Even if in their hope of all hopes they got the Southwest, it would be part of the Mexico, they claim they are running from because of horrible conditions. Why not fight to improve your own country? Why not protest your president?
I have watched the protests and was astonished by the militant racism of the marchers. I was particularly observant of so many that told American citizens to leave their country. As an avid historian I was surprised that any current Mexican citizen would make such a claim because not one has any ties to any of the current Southwest. I am also particularly interested in why there is never any current talks to cover why so many leave. Is it because many are encouraged by their own president? I recall watching a news story where it was shown that Vicente Fox was encouraging newly released prisoners to flee to the United States. I then came across little pamphlets given to Mexican citizens with third grade pictorials on how to come to this country illegally. Something is wrong with this picture. How would poor people in the United States feel if instead of your government giving the terrible economy or corruption of government attention, it handed you a pamphlet on how to break laws to go to Canada? Does that even make sense?
Why are we being manipulated like this? Each and every American has to ask that question. Immigration is good for every country, but in the last ten years, the amount of illegal Mexicans have skyrocketed. Border Patrol is a joke, INS is a joke, our laws that are supposed to protect the common American citizen is a joke. But we must ask why? Could it be drugs? Could it be a plan of globalization? Could it be to use illegal immigrants as slaves and take whatever little bit they do pay in taxes to fund Social Security? Why are so many illegal immigrants racist against the American citizen? And why, above all else, do you not see the hypocrisy of your own doing?
If you can come together possibly a million of you, think about how you can come together, take what knowledge you have learned from the United States and build your country. How would Mexicans feel if American citizens marched in the Mexico demanding for rights from the Mexican government, even when we snuck across the border to get in?
I think there is much more to this than what we see. I am concerned about any American citizen that has to live around in a community full of illegal Mexican immigrants. We must stop this tragedy from happening. Let's wake up.

The reason for most of what you wrote is simple. It is all about the NAU. Yes, the North American Union. Mexico isn't focused on Mexico. It is focused on the NAU. The wealth here will be combined with their lack of wealth to create a utopia, in their minds at least, and that's the ultimate goal of many--to include most large US corporations. This nation is no longer free. We are ruled by corporations, and all one has to do is look at ANY issue to find the proof from immigration, taxes, welfare, national IDs, education, etc.
