Mexicans, You are Marching in the Wrong Country

By Randall Nunn (04/29/2006) The upcoming demonstrations and boycotts of U.S. businesses by the illegal immigrant community and their supporters on May 1 would appear to be a huge public relations blunder by the protest organizers. Even the Mexican government has realized this, saying, unofficially and on condition of anonymity, that they were in favor of "a more moderate tone." One of the representatives of the illegal immigrants was quoted in a Dallas newspaper as saying the Mexican government should not tell the protesters what to do because they have to "defend their rights" on their own. Just what "rights" do people illegally in this country think they have? Usually in this country the press and the liberal community spend a great deal of time and energy analyzing the “root causes” of criminal conduct in an effort to explain it and justify leniency no matter what the offense and circumstances. In this case, there is a lack of such analysis. If there was such analysis, it would soon become evident that the reason for the mass exodus of Mexicans from their country is the corruption, incompetence and failed policies of their own government. Rather than working to replace the corrupt and incompetent leaders, their response is to cross the U.S. border and take all they can from a country whose political leaders do not have the will to stop it.
