Do Americans think Mexico poses an existential threat?

Post Reply New Topic

Mexico has been home to one of the richest men in the world, exotic and fine food, European architecture. There are Caucasian expats to Mexico, and fairly-complected Mexicans with green eyes and reddish hair. There are regions in which the culture is manorial, and undesirables are not seen or tolerated.

The US is using financial sabotage against them, and, as a sort of blowback, they are using problematic people to sabotage and colonize the US.

I remember seeing Islamist shop owners, with pics of ayatolla Kumeini, ramping up their Americana, and coming to the 4th of July, following 9-11.

Now, suspect people groups, not limited to Mexicans, have come out of the woodwork, to act friendly, all of the sudden, and, for the most part, would cooperate with legitimate racists, in hopes of better treatment.

The advantages, which were given to them, through no fault of their own, through no activism, and without earning it, per se, are all still apparent, in the eyes of long time residents. So, prejudice still persists.

It is prejudice, and that's how the prejudice is playing out.

Minorities are generally improving their behavior, and would makes amends, if it was in their power.

What Obama carnage when he made a deal with them that seemed to indicate improved diplomatic relationships?

I think the main issue is that Mexico is corrupt thanks to the drug cartels infiltrating all levels of government. Because of that, many people have felt the need to leave that country, even if it meant climbing a fence and walking through the desert.

It also seems that people who come from Mexico take longer to assimilate into American culture as they appear to take longer to start speaking English. While there is no official language of the US, English is the most common language, so most people who have come here have started speaking it instead of the language of their country of origin. That's why Mexico is seen as an existential threat, as people from other countries have assimilated faster. There is a bit of racism as well, since there are people from other countries who overstay visas, so when they don't go home, they're technically illegal aliens, just as someone who crossed the border is. Many Europeans who are actually illegal aliens have entered on a visa, but didn't return when it was expiring, but since they often look white and speak English, they tend not to be considered as big of a threat as some "Mexican" is.

In the southwest, there are even people who are of Mexican descent, but their families were in the area when it was originally part of Mexico. The thing about those people is that they've quit speaking Spanish generations ago, and aside from their skin color, speak English without an accent that a new English speaker would have.

By and large, Mexicans are people who want to better their lives. The only way many of them can do this is to come to America, get a crappy job, and send it back to their families.

A crappy job in the US pays at least twice as much as a pretty decent job in Mexico.

I heard one story, in which a notorious, Communist country was going to make their own crime show, to compete with the popular, American series. The press release was just a stunt. They said it was cancelled, because they don't have any social problems.

In my county (not far from San Bernardino)--

We visited attractions, in the immediate area, hear some of these placenames in every radio broadcast..

One family member reported seeing exposed bone, in a medical office, presumably MRSA. The walls of the hospital are smudged and dirty.

We are told that willingness to work does not entitle us to first world living standards. I say, again, that we have problems with sanitation.

Oh, nevermind. I take it back. I recant. It could never happen, here.

They have no problems, soaking their lawns, in drought warnings, being at the front of every line, and receiving every benefit. The kind, gullible people in this forum don't comprehend the concept of competition.They would rather be full time rulers of a ruin, than to have it all redistributed,equally.

What I am discussing is tribalism, favoritism. It might just be unfair.
