The enemy within has been inside our borders for quite some time. Mexico, by its very nature, is always embroiled in revolution, lawlessness, and intrigue. If you were a boy, growing up in Texas, you had to take that obligatory trip to “Boy’s Town” when you were in high school, and the very reason you did that was because of that lawlessness that enabled you to buy just about anything you wanted. Now, I’m going to get racial here for a bit. When I say, “Mexican,” I mean Mexican! People of Latin decent who were born and raised hereare American just like people from Germany, England, or Spain. Their ancestors came to these shores because the old country simply didn’t work, and they were looking for something better. These people are no more “Mexican” than Queen Elizabeth. Right down to the food they eat. For the uninformed, that stuff you get at Taco Bell is not “Mexican” food, that’s “Tex-Mex,” a blend of Texas cuisine with certain spices thrown in for flavor. The fierce nationalism now flowing up from the border is as alien to these Americans as an invasion from China. While they honor traditions of family they cling to America just as the Italians on Mulberry Street in New York had festivals, but were fully aware that they had made that long boat ride for a reason!
It is not a bad thing to honor your culture, but when that culture tries to replace the very fabric of society it becomes subversion, and that, my friends is the enemy within! Before I go on, I’d like to address the people of color out there on a fact. You may think that this is a “white man’s” problem, but in the view of these interlopers you are just the “black white man.” We may have come here in different boats, but we’re in the same boat now! These people have been coming up here for years. They pick the vegetables, mow the grass, and in our racism we think they are no threat. They lower wages along the border, but that’s of no consequence to the CEO of HEB as he reaps the benefits of cheap labor. That’s bad enough, but it really doesn’t touch mid-America that much, and the ante has been upped. These minions want to extend the border of Mexico through Texas to California and beyond. And there is no room in “New” Mexico for us!
It is interesting to note that the cartels don’t do dope, they sell dope to Americans, line their pockets and laugh all the way to the bank. Yeah, there’s a drug war, and El Chapo is winning it. And looking down our elite noses, still covered with cocaine at people like him will be our demise. You look at all the great criminal enterprises down through the years and are amazed at people like Al Capone, or Dillinger, just look at El Chapo. This guy constructed a subway under a federal prison, with air conditioning, waved “bye bye” to the cameras and rode to freedom, and if you think the local people didn’t help then I’ve got a bridge for you, and it’s on sale. This is not Carlos Mencia cracking jokes about his unemployed cousin mowing his lawn, this is a man who is organized, focused and rich! This is the enemy within.
A wall won’t fix this. New immigration laws won’t fix this. Resolve will fix this. You need to listen to people like George Rodriguez. He, and other Americans of Latin decent know this issue, and will school you. So stop grouping these Americans with our real enemies hidden in plain sight. They are not funny little brown people with accents, they are a force to be reckoned with. They are the enemy within.
