Incoherent illegals

One of the strangest things about the Mexican nationals who are swarming over the border is how incoherent some of them are. I realize most of them were too busy working on May 1, the international day of communist "liberation," when the others decided to parade in Los Angeles, Denver, NYC, Boston, Portland, etc., in protest of immigration raids and anti-illegals politics.

As VDH says, their feet were at odds with their heads: "The feet say ‘I’m running as fast as I can from a failed Mexico to get to El Norte,’ and the head responds, ‘I want to arrive in a place with revolutionary social fervor just like Mexico.’” Maybe it’s a language problem?

Jamiel’s Law

The killing of the Shaw boy–by all accounts a straight arrow with promise–by an illegal Mexican immigrant gangbanger just out of jail, is very sad. But, hey, L.A. is a "sanctuary city" with a Hispanic mayor and a liberal daily who both promote illegal immigration from Mexico. Undocumented workers, they want us to call them. When they work. Most of them do, here. Taking jobs whites don’t want, they like to say. Bull, I say. But the street beggers here are always black or white. Never Hispanic. Gangs? A few. Nothing like East L.A., of course, but where else is like East L.A.? Calcutta, maybe. But while Austin is not officially a sanctuary city for illegals, that is definitely the political preference. This stuff is getting way out of hand, and, like so many other American trends, the backlash seems to be getting strongest in California. Maybe Shaw’s death will do some good, so to speak. Bless his heart. Cobb, who prefers Mexican national to illegal immigrant (might as well be specific) has a lot more.

UPDATE:  Austin, indeed, is not a sanctuary city in the sense that police jurisdiction over them is limited, but is in the sense that no public services may be denied them based on their illegality. 

Absolut: Lowering market share

Want to cut sales of your vodka? Suck up to Mexico and its policy of illegal northbound immigration while insulting the USA. Congratulations, Swedes. This is one more step on your road to becoming an Islamic republic, where drinking isn’t even allowed.

UPDATE:  Scott has the perfect alternative. Tito’s is fine vodka, in addition to the cache of being a Texas product. Leave Absolut to the Mexicanos.

MORE: Jessica’s Well has a funnier version of the ad. Texas humor, anyway. None better. And this, less xenophobic, one.

Where’s the fence, George?

W now says he will complete the six hundred seventy miles of Mexican border fence authorized by Congress by the end of this year. That’s admirable. But I’ll believe it when I see it.

Bad Barry

Mr. Hope and Change is a phony and a liar when it comes to NAFTA. No surprise there. Just wait’ll his political fixer pal Tony Rezko goes on trial. But I wonder if he really does hate America. I think he’s headed for defeat in the general election in the heartland, anyhow, but that would cinch it. Meanwhile, his secular preacher routine is getting a little frayed.

Mexico’s U.S. colony

We’re the colony. So when Mexican President Calderon visits, he ignores our president and congress, and visits his colonialists who send home each year double the money Mexico makes from tourism:

"And while he assured the audience at Harvard that he has no interest in sending more Mexicans to the United States and that he only wants to protect those already here, you’d have to be incredibly naïve to believe that. Mexico has no real economic incentive to secure the border and stop the cash flow."

And, so far, we have no president or congress willing to do it, either. So how does it feel to be colonized, eh amigas y amigos? Ya Basta!

Missing in Mexico

The commenters at Mark in Mexico are trying to figure out what happened to him, missing as he has been since July, 2007. He wrote enough about Mexican official corruption to easily, and fairly, believe that someone in a high place could have decided to eliminate him. Journalists go missing in the Mexican MSM all the time, after all. Click on the comments at the bottom of the linked post to see what progress the commenters are making. None, so far. Maybe you can help.
