What's up with a government that sides with Mexican illegals?
By Charley Reese
Columnist
Published in The Orlando Sentinel on May 25, 2000
It's probably time we realized that whatever self-government we
have left in this country is with our local and state
governments. The national government seems to have cut us out of
the loop. It even shows signs of hostility to us.
Take, for example, the current situation on the Arizona border.
Some ranchers there, whose property abuts the border with Mexico,
have grown tired of seeing their property used as a dump and
highway by illegal Mexican immigrants. They have begun to make
citizens' arrests.
Now every American has the right to make a citizens' arrest, but
the U.S. government is up in arms. About the abuse of the
ranchers' property? About the Mexicans violating our laws and our
borders?
Oh, no, they are upset with the ranchers. The U.S. attorney there
states that he's researching the law to see if there are any
charges he can bring against them. Some hotshot Mexican official
has hired an American law firm to sue the ranchers.
Now let's get this straight. It is the ranchers who are being
victimized by the illegal immigrants. They are upholding the law,
while the U.S. government's entire sympathy seems to be with the
Mexican illegals. It shows hostility to the ranchers who are,
after all, doing what the U.S. government is supposed to do.
As for the Mexican official and every other Mexican official,
they should create a country in which their people can live and
earn a decent living instead of being impoverished and exploited
by a crooked government and its goons. The gall of Mexican
government officials complaining about the treatment of Mexicans
in America. They are treated better here than in Mexico. That is
why -- surprise, surprise -- they come here.
The true tragedy of Mexico is that the Mexican people love it so,
but the country, or at least its government, has never returned
their affection. About 20 families own most of the country, and,
of course, for the past 50 years it has had pseudo-elections
while being governed by one party.
A few months ago, two Mexican army vehicles charged across the
U.S. border, knocking down a fence and firing on U.S. Border
Patrol agents who were on horseback. When reinforcements arrived,
one of the Mexican army vehicles fled back across the border
while the other surrendered.
But guess what the orders were from Washington. Let them go and
give them their weapons. It was all a mistake. Some of the
rank-and-file Border Patrol officers don't think for one minute
it was mistake. They think that the army vehicles were intent on
delivering drugs and the one that fled took the drugs back to
Mexico.
The Arizona ranchers have a similar view of the Mexican
government, and, in fact, through the years I've talked to agents
with the Drug Enforcement Agency and Customs and Border Patrolmen
who all agree, despite the Washington chatter to the contrary,
that the Mexican government is up to its armpits in the drug
trade.
At any rate, Americans ought to get sick and tired of the Mexican
government pushing its problems off on us. It is the Mexican
government's responsibility to create an economy in which its
people can make a decent living and live a decent life. Instead,
it exploits the hell out of them and sends them across the border
to earn money to send back to their families in Mexico.
It is not the Mexican people who are at fault here. They suffer
from bad government, as indeed do we on the national level. Nor
is it the fault of the rank-and-file Border Patrol officers who
are not being supported by their own Washington bosses. It is
certainly not the ranchers who are at fault. But if you just
watch, you can see example after example in which our national
government shows a hostile face to American citizens.
