What do Hispanic-American citizens say about the illegal invasion?

By Frosty Wooldridge

In this ongoing series with economist Mike Folkerth, www.kingofsimple.com , and author of The Biggest Lie Ever Believed, he writes, Do Mexican-American Citizens Really Support the Illegal Invasion? April 30, 2010.

My friend Mike Folkerth brings a seasoned understanding to the Arizona law and how fellow Hispanic Americans feel.  He gives his thoughts below:

“Let me start with a question; would the current illegal immigration debate have come up during good economic times?” said Folkerth.  “In my opinion, the answer is yes, but the intensity of the subject would be far less.”

“Regardless of the rhetoric being bantered about, history clearly points out that immigration has always been a bone of contention with Americans. I’m talking about legal immigration here. Illegal immigration has always and forever been chastised by the legal citizenship.

“When I say the legal citizenship, I’m including all foreign born who gained citizenship here by legal means.

“As an example, when you have been waiting in line for an hour on a cold evening to get into a first run movie and you note a couple walking to the front of that line and joining some friends; tell me that you don’t mind. Or, tell me that you don’t mind so long as they happen to be of your same nationality.

“I don’t care if they are Black, Mexicans, Caucasians or Martians; I get mad down to my toes. They are unfairly gaining an advantage that I waited patiently for; I followed the rules.

“In another post, I asked how California, Arizona, and Texas elected Republican governors if in fact the Hispanic population of those states sides with Democrats who favor amnesty and lax immigration standards. Even New Mexico supported two term Republican governor Gary Johnson through 2003.

“By and large, those folks who gain citizenship in this country legally and who work hard, pay taxes, and send their kids to American schools, are absolutely opposed to illegal immigration. They followed the rules and they expect the same of others.

“The Mexican American families that I know (which are many) are hard working honest people that I enjoy being around. They don’t want shootings, drug runners, gang bangers and massive unemployment any more than I do. How do I know these things? I asked them!

“Do I want to associate with the Ku Klux Klan? What about Skin Heads or white Outlaw Biker Gangs? Do I want a free pass for Western Europeans to enter the U.S. illegally? According to the main stream news, I surely must, they’re white and I’m white. Oh course the answer to the above questions are all an emphatic NO!

“The good people who make up the majority of the Mexican American families in this country are subject to far more harm from illegal immigration from Mexico than are most other Americans. They are quite familiar with guilt by association.

“Yet the tenor of the main stream news suggests that the illegal invasion has undying support from all of the Mexican-American population. That those U.S. citizens of Mexican heritage see the enforcement of the laws (the same laws that they adhered to), as racism and profiling. Hogwash!

“Such deceptive reporting is damaging to the majority of our Mexican citizenry who no more agree with the illegal invasion than I would with an illegal European invasion.

“This entire problem was created by our Federal Government that failed to enforce the basic laws that protect the sovereignty of our nation, our states, and the general welfare of our citizens; which by the way, includes protecting our Mexican-American citizens. Geez!

“Spinning the attempt to enforce critical immigration laws as profiling and racism is nothing more than an effort to the shift the blame away from those who created the problem through purposeful non-enforcement. A federal policy of growth at all costs, legal or illegal, does have its drawbacks.”

If any of us, no matter what our race, creed or color might be, refuse to engage our U.S. Congress as we have not for 30 years as to the population/immigration equation—our children will find themselves living in a terribly degraded America where the American Dream will be described by the history books as a ‘fleeting fantasy’ from the era of 1950 to 2010.
