Buenas Noches, America

“Mexico does not end at its borders. . . . Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.”
That astonishing claim, by Mexican President Felipe Calderon, in his state of the nation address at the National Palace Sunday, brought his audience wildly cheering to its feet.
Were the United States a serious nation, Calderon’s claim that Mexico extends into the United States would have produced an instant demand from the U.S. ambassador for clarification. Failing to receive it, he would have packed his bags, and the United States would be on the verge of severing diplomatic relations.
In an earlier time, U.S. troops would be rolling to the border.
For this is not the first time an arrogant Mexican ruler has made a claim to extra-territorial rights inside the United States and, indeed, to U.S. territory. Mexico’s presidents have gotten into a habit of suborning treason against the United States
In 1995, President Ernesto Zedillo told a Dallas audience of U.S. citizens of Mexican descent, “You are Mexicans, Mexicans who live north of the border.” I.e., you owe loyalty to Mexico, not Uncle Sam.
In 1997, Zedillo brought a Chicago gathering of La Raza to its feet by exclaiming, “I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.”
In 1998, Mexico changed its constitution to restore citizenship to Mexican-Americans who have taken an oath of allegiance to the United States and renounced loyalty to any other country.
Purpose: loosen their ties of loyalty to the United States, re-knit their ties of loyalty to Mexico, and persuade Mexican-Americans to vote Mexico’s interests in the U.S.A. Put Mexico first, even if you have taken an oath of allegiance to the United States.
In June 2004, President Vicente Fox took the Zedillo road to the Mexican-American community in Chicago. There, he, too, declared: “We are Mexicans that live in our territories, and we are Mexicans that live in other territories. In reality, there are 120 million that live together and are working together to construct a nation.”
President Fox was saying that the construction of his nation is taking place—inside our nation. Is that not sedition?
In 2005, the head of the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, Carlos Gutierrez, asserted, “The Mexican nation goes beyond the borders that contain Mexico.”
What these Mexicans politicians are saying is that Mexico extends into the United States, and the first loyalty of all men and women of Mexican ancestry is, no matter where they live, to Mexico.
Mexico’s rulers believe in a nation of history, blood and soil that pre-existed, and supersedes, any pledge of allegiance any Mexican may make to another country, especially to the United States.
Is George W. Bush vaguely aware of any of this?
At the Quebec summit, Bush mocked the idea of a merger of a North American Union as a fantasy of conspiracy theorists. “It’s quite comical actually, to realize the difference between reality and what some people on TV are talking about.”
Calderon laughed it off, too. “I’d be happy with one foot in Mexicali and one in Tijuana.” But in his state of the nation, Felipe is talking about one foot in Mexico and one in Los Angeles.
Is Bush oblivious to what his friend Vicente Fox laid down in Madrid in 2002 as the long-term strategy of Mexico?
“Eventually, our long-range objective is to establish with the United States … an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union, with the goal of attending to future themes as important as … the freedom of movement of capital, goods, services and persons. The new framework we wish to construct is inspired in the example of the European Union.”
Fox is talking about the erasure of borders.
Whether Bush is aware of this really makes no difference. For the real issue is not what the Mexican regime has in mind, but whether we can stop it, or whether we have passed a point of no return.
Today, already, there are 45 million Hispanics in the United States, perhaps half from Mexico, and 37 million immigrants.
Now, Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies projects—using official Census Bureau figures of 1.25 million legal and illegal immigrants entering and staying in the United States every year—a U.S. population of 468 million by 2060.
We will add as many people—167 million—in the next half-century as the entire population of the United States when JFK was elected.
Some 105 million of these folks will be immigrants and their children. That 105 million is equal to the entire population of Mexico, whence most of these folks will be coming.
No wonder Mexican presidents are coming out of the closet about what is up. They know the gringos can’t stop it, for they have the American establishment on their side.
Buenas noches, America.

So when will Angela Merkel tell us Volksdeutsche that “Wherever there is a German, there is Germany.” and start encouraging us to put the Fatherland first?
In a country were people get angry about China laying claim to Taiwan and Tibet, we cannot rouse ourselves to stand up to Mexico’s de facto claim to a fifth of our country.
The Establishment will ignore this until Mexico officially annexes the Southwest–hell, they might ignore it until the Mexican army is outside DC–but where is the popular opposition? You’d think people would taking to the streets at this point.
2 Comment by Kirt Higdon on 5 September 2007:
I guess I could get very upset about this Mexican claim were it not for the fact that the US maintains more than 700 military bases in more than 100 countries and routinely bombs, pillages, conquers and occupies any country whose behavior for any recent doesn’t suit the US ruling establishment. This is indeed an area where we might want to get the 4X4 out of our own eye before removing the speck from our neighbor’s eye.
3 Comment by Jeff Willoughby on 5 September 2007:
KH: You certainly have a point, and as a hardline “isolationist”, I want our troops out of those countries and our military adventures ceased immediately.
Mr. Buchanan’s views (which I take from what I have read of him) are similar, at least in opposing the Gulf Wars and most other US imperialism.

Shut up and learn Spanish.
5 Comment by robert m. peters on 5 September 2007:
If the Poles and the Czechs had been as “flexible” about these ethnic and border matters as we apparently are, then Hitler would not have found it necessary to invade those countries with military force. A morning would have simply one day dawned in which the two countries, or at least substantial portions of their territory, were German. Da, wo das deutsche Volk ist, ist Deutschland! I cannot say that in Spanish, but I believe one gets the drift. Not only are the barbarians among us, but they have become our legions. None other that Senator McCain, tonight in the “debates,” proudly spoke of the green carders who had become U.S. citizens by virtue of their service in Iraq, most of them Hispanic/Mexican. We have gone from a professional army to a mercenary army in short order. The only “good” thing about all of this is that it is a sign that the empire is aging, and its demise is to be anticipated; however, what replaces it should become paramount as we who claim a sense of place and purpose watch it begin to crumble around us.

I say, go on Mexico. You think Americans are some sort of dumb rednecks. Well, try them. I urge you to try. Don’t be surprised to find yourself humiliated in the end.
You see, Americans have been nice to you up untill now. They wellcomed you into their country, they gave you freedom, wealth and order, they gave your children the opportunity to be the best they strived for. And now you stab them in the back.
You have no honour.

You know this sounds vaguely familiar…. as if *gasp* the US was field testing this very thing in a couple other countries… oh wait what do you know… it is…
http://www.focus-fen.net/?id=f1427
Substitute Mexican for Albanian and those words sound almost exactly the same.
The Albanians plan to take pieces of Serbia, Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro to Form a Greater Albania…
So does that mean I can look forward to a Greater Mexico sprouting up to engulf the South Western United States? I’m asking because if the US succeeds in creating Greater Albania I want to know how Hypocritical its going to be to stop Greater Mexico…
Will China come in and occupy the U.S. telling us to stop Ethnic Cleansing the Texicars? The Arizonians? and the Californicars? We should respect their right of Self Determination!
After being under the yolk of the U.S. and constantly being oppressed by them there is no going back for this proud majestic people… They can not accept anything short of Independence….
Although still formally a part of the United States, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California, (where there is a 90% Mexican Majority of the100 Million people within) are run by the UN and the North Pacific Treaty Organization after an NPTO air strikes ended a US Military Crackdown on Ethnic Mexican Seperatists.
Up to 500,000 people, the majority of them ethnic Mexicans, are estimated to have been killed in a conflict between ethnic Mexican insurgents and U.S.forces….
God I love Sweet Irony we are truly going to reap what we’ve sown if events such as these continue to unfold!
…
*sigh* I had better make plans to find an English speaking region to live in after investing so much work in perfecting my vast lexicon I would hate to have to start from scratch… well London and the U.S. are going to be out of the question if this keeps up… maybe Canada eh?

Everyone:
Most of you people posting here are nazis. Whites are the biggest villains and murderers in world history. Real statistics show that whites also are the biggest perpetuators of crime.
I say that we let 50 million Mexicans immigrate to the U.S. and make it a better place.
You just don’t get it. Real conservatism is about open borders, political correctness, white self-hatred, civil rights, and voting rights for minorities.
Yours,
Sid Cundiff Clone

It ain’t just the Southwest, boys. The Southeast is eat up, too. Carolina Norte is becoming Nuevo Monterrey.
The South is so gone…how depressing.
11 Comment by Big M on 6 September 2007:
So, if there’s a Mexican in Sweden, Sweden will be taken over? You could take that statement in any number of ways. However . . .
Make no mistake, if I were in power, every single person in the military would be brought back within this country’s borders, and their first job would be to seize the assets of every illegal alien in this country, and then boot them out, and kill anybody that resisted.
Yes, I know, the early American settlers did a good job of coming into somebody else’s land, but there was no functioning nation as such, and certainly no functioning military. I’m not trying to mitigate what Americans did to the natives, as well as instituting slavery on the continent for 300 years.
And it’s high time that somebody waked up the stupid in this country, and pointed out that the children of illegal aliens are NOT — repeat, NOT!!! — U.S. citizens. If you doubt it, why don’t you actually read the first paragraph of the 14th Amendment? It’s as plain as day. It’s also as plain as day that the federal government, as well as the state legislatures, have sold you and your progeny down the river for contributions from businesses and corporations that want cheap labor.
So, regardless of Calderon’s statement, the people of this country should lock and load, and clean these people out of here. And then they need to reload, and start marching toward a certain city located on the East coast.

The leading pro-immigrant group in Virginia opposing the recent restrictions on illegal alien access to benefits in Prince William County, VA is called “Mexicans Without Borders.”
Telling.
13 Comment by Michael Kenny on 6 September 2007:
The thought crosses my mind that if the Mexicans took over Los Angeles, the first thing they would probably do is translate the name into Spanish!
14 Comment by Grumpy Old Man on 6 September 2007:
El problema, señores, es la falta de cojones que aflige la clase politica norteamericana.
Translation: Gentlemen, the problem is that the American poltiical class has no balls.

“And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate white people because that in my estimation is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet to solve this problem.”
- African Studies professor, Dr. Kamau Kambon
“The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists. Make no mistake about it we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as ‘the white race’ is destroyed–not ‘deconstructed’ but destroyed.”
- Jewish professor at Harvard University, Dr Noel Ignatiev

You people lost America a long time ago when the Southerners fought the Federalists in a bloody civil war over states rights and or slavery(meaning African Americans).The Jews now tell you who to vote for what stocks to own and what people to shock and awe!!
18 Comment by Tim Manning on 12 September 2007:
While Pat Buchanan is right on target, the greater enemies of our freedom and national identity are those who are permitting this and similiar things to happen. People actually continue to vote for those who continue to betray us.
