Folks, it is not my wish to praise Ceasar but I cannot allow this burial of facts and reason to go on any further. This is not a defense of Trump, nor Pena Nieto, nor AMLO, nor is it a condemnation of those personalities. Please believe that I am certain in my knowledge, and that I have had seventy years and a little more of life, much of it involved with Mexico, Mexicans, Americans and Texans of Mexican and Spanish ancestry, along with a considerable bit of Central American understanding, study, and analysis.
There are those who have accused me of being "hopelessly pro-Mexican", and that is a falsity. A lesser number has said that I am a real live hater of the Latin sub-race…the response must be, "No, I am not". The simple fact is that I was born into an environment that included numerous Mexicans from the "old Country" who were involved in the Bracero Programme of the WWII through early 1950s period. The latter part of that episode were the years of my childhood. From age 0 through age 10, except for school, Mexicans were a major part of the recipe of life on our farm and citrus care business.
My studies advanced my understanding of the pre-Colombian times, and the Colonial Epoch, and the Republican Epoch of Mexico. My eldest brother was a Ph.D. graduate faculty professor of very high regard. He and I had common brainwaves and communicated on a level similar to twins. He was an authority on historical linguistics, climate and geomorphology, and matters pertaining to historical and present day cultural geography.
My wife and I operated an upper-case excursion company that toured all corners of Mexico, and we were in service for well over twenty years in that endeavour. So please take these following words seriously, as truth that is true. The clutching of the chest, and pointing to the sky, and howling about the horrors of "separating the children from the mothers and family" is such a shallow, ignorant, at times purposeful theatric sham that it must be contradicted in the strongest terms.
TO WIT:
The entire event of the flood of Central American "refugees" and/or "migrants" was contrived by the Obama Administration when the State Department was under the command of Hillary Rodham Clinton and later John Kerry. Your humble servant listens to a lot of overnight radio while he stays down at our home in the interior of Mexico. AM radio transmissions reached my radios from broadcast positions located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and Guatemala (2 different big cities), and San Salvador, El Salvador. Those AM radio stations would come in and fade out, but there were many nights and early mornings when their signal was excellent and prolonged. We received Radio Rebelde from the Peoples' Republic of Cuba that unloaded literally tonnes of anti-Gringo and anti-American bilge continuously, with breaks every now and then for long and repetitive replays of Guantanamera.
During the late night, around 22:00 - 24:00 hours, there would be talk shows wherein the guest, frequently and apparently an American consular official would opine and comment about the best way for people from Central America to access entry into the United States. After the initial bilge talk about waiting lists, fees for application for an entry visa, the declaration of intention and purpose for visiting or wishing to enter the United States, the need to have a passport from the country of departure along with other life documentum vitae, the conversation would always turn to the inevitable.
Speaking in conditional tense, it would be pointed out that a person, especially a woman with children, the younger the better, could possibly arrive at the banks of the Rio Bravo / Grande, arrange for passage with an inner-tube driver or similar, and then surrender to the first Border Patrolman encountered, declaring oneself as a "refugiada" (refugee).
One night the 'locutor' (radio host) asked his guest, "But what if the woman has no children? How can she leverage acceptance as a truly needy and urgently concerned person."
The guest responded on that particular night…this time in Guatemala…"Ask around of family, perhaps a niece or nephew, or perhaps a neighbour might be willing to forward a child, especially if there are already relatives in the United States, established."
As one might imagine, I was aware of this trickle of departures leaving the mess and disorder, especially of Honduras and El Salvador, even as far back as the 1980s. The Guatemala thing seemed strange to me because it was not such a basket case as the other two. One reason is because 35% of Guatemala's population is native…still with many who speak little or no Spanish and who seem content with their position and activity. Honduras and El Salvador were in dire straights in 2004 - 2009 and after that things became even worse.
Why were things worse? Simply put, it was because of the growth of the horridly depraved gangs of subhuman murderers, extortionists, rapists, and generally violent individuals. These gang members knew from their older brothers that causing havoc in the home country was fun, but only in the United States could a MaraSalvatrucha XIII or Callejon 18 really get down and boogie…murder, robbery, torture, drug trafficking, prostitution of children, extortion…almost always of their own "carnales" (same meat and blood).
Every now and then they would venture out and harrass the Mexicans and the Angloids, but they concentrated on terrorising their own people into submission. They are found in Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and lamentably many smaller cities and towns that have long been famous as citadels of tranquility and blessed boredom.
Even the Mexican drug cartels had trouble with these types. One time, a group of MS13 were contracted to guard a group of "migrants" (future illegal aliens) outside of San Fernando, Tamaulipas…this about 10 years ago. During the detention, inside a barn with no facilities or food or water, the custodians demanded of the "migrants" to volunteer to "mular la mota"…a slang expression meaning "to become marijuana mules for the cartel".
The detainees demanded to be taken to the border according to the agreement that they had made and paid for. After a 18 hour session of tequila, beer, and weed, the six MS13s slaughtered the entire group of 75.
Only one person survived. That individual remembered that there was a Mexican Army facility some miles back to the South, and he made his way there, although he was wounded.
Some locals gave him a ride to that military facility south of San Fernando, where he made his report and received needed medical attention. A detail en force departed, and encountered the barn on the ranch as described, with 75 dead "migrants" inside. Later that day, there was an encounter between a company of Mexican heavy infantry up near Reynosa (McAllen's sister city) and a group of about 25 MS13 types and certain allies…two soldiers were wounded and 9 MS13 were killed, with the rest being wounded and captured. Those who survived were transported to Mexico City for debriefing, then incarcerated.
Later it was divulged that over the years most of those individuals had been killed in prison due to their contentiousness and violent disposition. That has been their record in the prisons of Honduras and El Salvador as well. Pointless violence, violence, violence.
Moving right along to processing the illegal alien arrivals, we should point out that many, many children and other minors came in without any adult relative…auntie, sister, grannie, or male equivalent. In fact, adult males doing much of anything to "help" the invasion of illegal aliens from 2012 through to the present constituted less than 2% of the total tsunami of humanity that came into just Texas alone.
Recently released data, as of the 10th of July, 2018 shows that a minimum of 20% of the children of 5 years of age or less who were separated from their "mommies" had absolutely no biological relationship to said "mommies". This fact was developed by DNA analysis. Another grouping showed the "possibility" of collateral relationship of another 20%.
The fact is that people who remained back in Honduras and El Salvador were (1) "loaning" their own children, for a price to a woman to use as a ruse, or (2) having their children ripped away by MS13 operatives kidnapping tots and infants to thrust upon a supposed "mommie", once the "mommie" or her family came up with the price for the child, or (3) older children were being kidnapped and marked…and we are talking about girls aged 8 - 10 years of age…for service into forced prostitution when the time would be "right". This in fact was and is the actual facts of this "migration".
On top of that, even the ones who had "legitimate" concerns about health and safety for self and offspring were almost uniformly dull, unappreciative, sullen, and even contemptuous of volunteer gifts of food, money, clothes, or reading material, etc. This matter of "separating families" is absolutely one of the largest red herrings ever presented to the body politic. It is a mendacity truly engineered by people who have not the slightest sense of the value of truth in the discourse between citizens. The leftist opposition to normalcy seems to be willing to leave no stone unturned in order to forward the purpose of nihilism, socialism, and the steady degradation of America as the true beacon of hope, progress, and the opportunity for the fullness of life.
So many people…Mexicans, and other foreigners…come into this country legally, AT GREAT EXPENSE and TIME and TROUBLE…and leave and return, and leave and return…compliantly, daily, going about their daily business, tourism, shopping, and such legal and pleasant pursuits, and yet we are supposed to give special deference to people who jump the line, pay nothing, and then disappear into the ether of the "population unknown and unseen". Shame on the "progressives" who delight in the passive enslavement of hundreds upon thousands of people who genuinely should be shouldering efforts to improve the homeland they chose to abandon.
Enough!
