This is a multi-facetted response to the new burning issue. Upon hearing of the notion within the White House that the President is willing to allow the legalisation of up to 1,800,000 "dreamers" who were brought into the United
States as minors incapable of controlling their supposed parents control.
El Gringo Viejo's first reaction, as a noted connoisseur of American political and cultural matters. was total revulsion and negation. We must come to a point someday when crossing the border illegally with the intent to remain in the United States and to take advantage of social support programmes is considered a felony, punishable by five years in prison, and many hours of highway litter clean-up.

These days are not the days of the Nineteen-teens through the 1950s. Mexico's upheavals, involved with the Revolucion de 1910 and the Cristero War of the 1920s left Mexico with a bone-pile, along with the Spanish Flu, of some 1,300,000 dead (one-fifth was from the Flu). That number seems like a lot, but when it is considered that the population of Mexico in 1920 was probably less than 20,000,000 people one must recognise that losing over one of every eight people in less than a generation really is a bit much for a human to endure while psychologically remaining within the realm of sanity.
Many of you know that I am a landholder in Mexico. My boss and I own a tract that is the equivalent to very slightly less than 3 English acres, and which essentially fronts upon a spring-fed river that has never been known to go dry since the arrival of white men...around 1539. No one took up residence at that time, because there were too many peccaries, bears, and other such impediments to a tranquil life...including Comanches, Kiowas, Lipan Apaches, and Kickapoo who raided from places very distant to the North.
On that tract, we built an adobe home, complete with the required red, split-tile roof that has been so much the vogue during the preceding 700 or 800 years in Tuscany and southeastern Spain. Our place was made of the same mud that was on the ground we bought.
Purchasing and qualifying to be a purchaser was fraught with legal, smeagle, beagle eagle. But, actually, since I am a "foreigner", we received better treatment than the common slob Mexican who just wanted to buy or sell a 2,400 acre ranch. Better treatment required a payment of 400 USD to the Secretaria de Gobernacion which was paid by cash, (later payments were payed via credit card) and the certification that the previous owners had no liens against the property.
Attending these requirements was the need to obtain (in those days) a permit to be a "residente - no imigrante", and to up-grade my Mexican passport from Turista-visitante to "Residente - no imigrante". That was another 150 USD, and it had to be renewed every 360 days...not 365, but 360 days. Further, once obtaining that Mexican passport, I could not leave the United Mexican States unless I was holding a permit from the dispensing office of the Secretraria de Relaciones Exteriores, whose office is full of posters advising the "migrants" from Central America to not go to the United States without Documents.
At that time I joked briefly with the female administratrix of the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores office in Ciudad Victoria, declaring, "These folks coming up from Central America are not migrants nor immigrants, they are people looking for public assistance and to have a baby on Gringo soil."
She retorted, very dryly," These people coming up from Central America are human beings looking for the last chance they have."
I did not yield. It was quickly suggested that Texas stood up to the the largest, best-trained, and most well-armed army in the New World. I pointed out that the Texian resistance received significant help from Latins who had everything...everything...to lose. The vast majority of the Latin element stayed in, fighting and supporting Texas and the republican cause against the Centralists. I suggested to her that the last chance she was talking about could soon pertain to Mexico and Texas, because of the Mara Salvatrucha and other soul-less gangs who greatest desire was and is to kill people with the greatest suffering possible and to take their goods and money.
She, reasonably, retorted, "We do not send these people to you, you invited them." I remembered when we had the laundromat in Mission, Texas after the 'normalization' of the illegal aliens took place in the latter 1980s. Each day, there would be five or six passes by the Border Patrol to make certain that our staff had citizenship or legal status. In the meantime, while they were checking my credentials and those of our manager, a steady flow of people were entering the neighbouring office...a general practitioner, who was certifying that the previously illegal person had no tuberculosis, venereal disease, leprosy, or other communicable diseases.
The last amnesty of the latter 1980s was a sham. No one had any intention of enforcing the constrictive rules. The only rules that mattered was the requirement to bring literally hundreds upon thousands of previously illegal aliens and two to eight relatives per newly "amnestied" person, over the Rio Grande. This is not a joke.
And here we are again. The problem is that the Mara Salvatrucha are everywhere. They own many of the people who declare themselves to be "Dreamers". They literally own them. If it is not the Mara Salvatrucha, then it will be the Calle 18 gang from El Salvador. They are all the same. Membership is not awarded in most cases until a potential member is beaten to a pulp, and who then gives permission to the rest of the gang to rape his sister and dis-member her. Other sub-gangs are less sanguine and require only that the gang member murder his mother.
This business of "Dreamers" borders upon the psychotic. Perhaps 30 per cent of those being designated as "Dreamers" might qualify as being poor, innocent children who were forced to accompany their illegal alien parents to the great pool of opportunity where the Statue of Liberty is. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, that was true.
Now however, those who come to stay are after Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Section 8, Food Stamps, Medicaid, free year round school lunch and breakfast...etc.etc.etc. There is a lady who has a maid, for instance, not far from people whom we have known personally for many, many years....50 years...and this lady is not in the fullest of neither intellectual nor physical alacrity, and she depends upon this "maid" for considerable attention.
So far, this maid has had 3 babies, all miracle babies...and the maid is soaking the system for several score thousand dollars each year. After all, the pinches gabachos (damned anglos) arrested him (her illegal alien boyfriend who appears every month when her AFDC allocation comes out) just for driving around after a few beers...for the third time...and it has left her with children who are intellectually "challenged" and physically "challenged". The Medicaid bill to the taxpayer? Well over 1,000,000 dollars, per year, for this maid and a couple of others who lurk around the edges of this little old lady's feeding pond.
And now this "maid" complains that they have suspended "free" transportation to the medical facilities where these "challenges" are being "treated". This situation is repeated in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, population 1,700,000 in four counties, Hidalgo being the largest with 1,000,000.
This is what is known as "anchor baby syndrome". For so long as the babies remain under 21 or 18 years of age (conditions vary) neither they nor their parents, mother, main caretaker, or an extraterrestrial sasquatch can be "exported". The babies are normally "caught" in a midwifery normally staffed by "trained" midwifes who apparently have some connection with the liberation theology part of the Roman Catholic Church. It has been going on for many generations. A baby born upon sacred American or Texian soil is an American or Texian. It is the law, and that law must be erased.

It is absurd. It is nothing like the 1930s - early 1960s. I put a 'period' at 1960, because that is truly the time when the feudal, antique, Southern gentleman, Mexican elegance, etiquette, deference, and traditionalism ended. It finally died with acid rock and "relevance" and "equality". Equality, equality, equality, and marihuana and dope was the answer to all the ancient questions.
There is no such thing as equality as it is defined to-day. Had I been running at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, there is no doubt that I would have lost to the German...I would not have been his equal. Jesse Owens was more than the German's equal.
______________
Therefore, allow us to proceed:
To begin, every day, over 1,000,000 Mexicans cross the Southern frontier. Every day all of them go back. Some have tourist visas, some have work permits, some are American citizens by their mothers and Mexicans by their fathers. The range of POE (ports of entry) covers from a bit beyond Tijuana all the way to Brownsville. The lines, especially during the day, at these crossing points are, at times, endless. Pedestrian entry for people intending to make a "visita fronteriza" are also nearly endless. But the lines move. We have not found piles of bones standing in line or a skeleton sitting behind a steering wheel.
Some might cry out, "To Hell with them all, I don't care if their mother is the Virgin Mary!!! Throw them out." Others say,"We need these people over here to do significant temporary odd-jobs on cotton, vegetable, and citrus plantations in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (these are not 'plantations' such as one might envision during the openning scenes of Gone With the Wind; the word plantation merely means "...a planted area.").
Please understand that in Mexico City, at the Embassy of the United States of America, there are "coleros" (persons who form a long line of petitioners) who work, standing in line, with two or three briefcases, moving ahead a few steps per hour, until after three, four, or seven days the lady behind the bullet resistant glass says, "We have to leave early to-day". The 'coleros' are frequently graduate lawyers who handle immigration matters for several clients, and criminal cases that pertain to something that involves both Mexico and the Republic of Texas, and/or the United States.
People coming to take advantage of "social safety nets" and income transfer / vote buying schemes should be deported upon arrival. People coming to drop an "anchor baby" should have the baby removed and placed for adoption, and the mother deported to some very distant corner of her country of origin.

The only equality that we can truly work towards is the employment of the cultural rule that all men / women are to be equal before the processes of the law. Social democracy and equality is absurd upon the face of it.
So...here we are. The average slob like me, or 1st Lieutenant Jose Garcia who came over from Mexico during the middle of World War II and volunteer for the American Army, who fought long and hard, with only three or four "minor" wounds; a Bronze Star, and then a Silver Star, two Purple Hearts, a French commendation, and an Honourable Discharge. All that gained him the opportunity to accept or deny the offer of American citizenship when he was mustered out in 1947, and decided to take the offer of American Citizenship. He was buried in Reynosa at the public cemetery, because he felt that a person should return to the soil that birthed him. Or maybe he was buried at McAllen's old staid and still elegant Roselawn Cemetery....or wherever. The thing is Jose Garcia should never be, and cannot be refused entry.Many of you know that I am a landholder in Mexico.

Equality, equality, equality, and marihuana and dope was to become the answer to all the ancient questions and gradually corrupted almost all social propriety.
Only problem is, gee whiz, there is no such thing as equality as it is defined to-day. Had I been running at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, there is no doubt that I would have lost to the German...I would not have been his equal. Jesse Owens was more than the German's equal.The only equality that we can truly work towards is the employment of the cultural rule that all men / women are to be equal before the processes of the law. Social democracy and equality is absurd upon the face of it.

Therefore, allow us to proceed:
To begin, every day, over 1,000,000 Mexicans cross the Southern frontier at official crossing points, with entry documents in hand. Every day, all are almost all of them go back. Some have tourist visas, some have work permits, some are American citizens by their mothers and Mexicans by their fathers. The range of POE (ports of entry) covers from a bit beyond Tijuana all the way to Brownsville. The lines, especially during the day, at these crossing points are, at times, endless. Pedestrian entry for people intending to make a "visita fronteriza" are also nearly endless. But the lines move. We have not found piles of bones standing in line or a skeleton sitting behind a steering wheel.
Some might cry out, "To Hell with them all, I don't care if their mother is the Virgin Mary!!! Throw them out." Others say,"We need these people over here to do significant temporary odd-jobs on cotton, vegetable, and citrus plantations in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (these are not 'plantations' such as one might envision during the openning scenes of Gone With the Wind; the word plantation merely means "...a planted area.").
Please understand that in Mexico City, at the Embassy of the United States of America, there are "coleros" (persons who form a long line of petitioners) who work, standing in line, with two or three briefcases, moving ahead a few steps per hour, until after three, four, or seven days the lady behind the bullet resistant glass says, "We have to leave early to-day, come back to-morrow" or "Yes, your appointment is for to-morrow at 09:30."
The 'coleros' are frequently graduate lawyers or trusted runners who handle immigration matters for several clients, and criminal cases that pertain to something that involves both Mexico and the Republic of Texas, and/or the United States. Whenever the American Embassy is needed it is almost certain that time and money will be required and long wait-lines endured.
The "immigration issue" is almost totally misunderstood by almost everyone. It has become even more fuzzy due to the new phenomena, provoked and endorsed by the previous administration, that urges women with young children to come to the Rio Grande and search out border patrol, customs and immigration personnel so as to be arrested and detained and processed, and then allowed to enter with "dependent and at-risk minor children". They continue on to places where "...they have relatives waiting for them".
Oddly, during these times, there are actually more Mexicans going back to take up residence than Mexicans coming across illegally to the United States. The return rate of those Mexicans who enter with temporary work permits is almost 100%. The mix of Central Americans, Red Chinese, middle-easterners, and others make up a greater portion now of the illegal entry group, with the Mexican group being larger, but outnumbered by the aggregate of the other groups. This has been the case since about six years ago.

People coming to take advantage of "social safety nets" and income transfer / vote buying schemes should be deported upon arrival. People coming to drop an "anchor baby" should have the baby removed and placed for adoption, and the mother deported to some very distant corner of her country of origin.
More later...there is so much to say...so many currents in the turbulent waters...
