Many people have argued that the illegal immigrants are an invading force, sent by the South-American (and Mexican) governments to take back the land that was stolen over the last 500 years.
Latinos are quickly becoming the largest minority, and its safe to say that each year we incorporate a little more Latino culture into our own, for good or bad.
Well, if this is an invasion, what is our government doing about it? Its worth mentioning much of the reason we've not succeeded as quickly as we should have is that we're having trouble securing the borders in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Is this another "Bush Blunder" to be piled on top of one of the large volumes of piles of mistakes made in the past 6 years?
Maybe this is the one Bush strategy that's worked. Maybe this illegal immigration is by invitation.
President Bush, in 2005, signed the "Security and Prosperity Partnership" along with then Presidents Vicente Fox, and Prime Minister Paul Martin. The SPP (which has not been submitted to Congress for review) official purpose is to provide:
"the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. It includes ambitious security and prosperity programs to keep our borders closed to terrorism yet open to trade."
If President Bush's long-term U.S. goal was to merge into a European Union style government, this makes perfect sense. Merge the people, then merge the government. Wouldn't that make it that much easier.
The Canadian and U.S. cultures are pretty much the same (basically), so the real hard part is integrating the Mexican culture into these. It takes a long time, with the need for tangling alliances (Read Jefferson), and cooperation from all parties.
The Mexican Government seems to be cooperating, at least. They give instructions to possible border-crossers, and don't even try to hide it. But this wouldn't be possible without the consent of the Commander-in Chief, who could declare this a National Security Risk, and use our valued troops for defending our homeland.
Isn't that what they've been told they're doing 7,000 miles away?
