| Dupe entry: The Second Mexican War (good read) |
| 2007-06-18 |
 From early 2006, but still relevant I'd say.By Lawrence Auster The Mexican invasion of the United States began decades ago as a spontaneous migration of ordinary Mexicans into the U.S. seeking economic opportunities. It has morphed into a campaign to occupy and gain power over our country—a project encouraged, abetted, and organized by the Mexican state and supported by the leading elements of Mexican society. |

| #5 There's a difference between the Mexican elite and the mob? |

| #4 #3 'moose: "that power should either be held by the elite or the mob--with no middle ground" What the hell, let's go with the mob for a while (after our southern border is secure) - theie elite haven't done so hot. |

| #3 This pales in comparison to what might happen if Mexico continues in its path to possible civil war. It is a recipe for disaster. Drug cartels with billions of dollars financing the troubles. Indians (indigenous) really getting resentful (the Yaquis revolt came close to overthrowing the government in 1910.) Tremendous disparity in income, with a handful of wealthy families not just controlling almost all of the wealth, but intent on keeping the poor, poor (unlike the laissez-faire US wealthy). And Mexico, like much of central and South America, has a philosophical cancer metastasized from Old Europe, that power should either be held by the elite or the mob--with no middle ground. |

| #2 Acercamiento? "Closeness", I reckon is as close as I can get that in English. Sounds like a term in the same vein as Perestroika or Glasnost. |

| #1 Duh™! I wondered why it wouldn't be posted and why I kept getting that error message; it turns out I already posted it in february 2006, when I added to my bookmarks (I emailed to a couple US fellows recently, it's why I wanted to post it here, didn't remember I already did). Sorry. |
