Is the Mexican Government gaining great power and influence?

Question

In America through all of the illegal Mexican immigrants in America?

Answer 1

I can't can't help but laugh at the 'power and influence' part of your question. So lets take an inventory of how Mexico stands today.

First they refuse to support their poor uneducated citizens and encourage them to go to America, so we can support them.

They squander their vast oil revenue on the few elite rich and government officials.

They are ruthless in the enforcement of their southern border and deported over 250,000 Central Americans last year.

Their foreign policy consists only of criticism of the US for trying to secure our border the same way they do on theirs.

So no I don't  see Mexico making any progress on the world stage.

Answer 2

they are i'm so scared

Answer 3

I believe so, I heard something about Texas housing slump being great for the Mexicans to take back the state.  I haven't had time to research it.  But, living in TX, they're taking it over day by day.

Answer 4

Their gvernment must be doing somethig right because gas there is just $2.27 a gallon and alot of Texans are fleeng across the border to fill up.

Answer 5

They are trying to.  The Mexican American Population is beginning to realize what is happening is really not good for them.  I believe what they got to this point, they will lose as quickly.

They are currently spending a great deal of money.

Is it Assimilation or Invasion?

by: Phyllis Schlafly

November 28, 2001

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, support for the United States has poured in from around the world, but the response from Mexico has been decidedly lukewarm. A Gallup poll reported that 78 percent of Mexicans oppose contributing troops to a multinational coalition, and we have seen no indication that Mexico will modify its oil policy of acting like a member of OPEC.

While there is no evidence that the 9/11 terrorists entered over the Mexican border, the trial in El Paso of an Iraqi smuggler produced evidence that he alone brought more than 1,000 Middle East illegals into the United States via that route, charging his clients $10,000 to $15,000 each. Border Patrol agents have confirmed the increase in illegal aliens coming from the Middle East across our southern border and the fact that Arabs pay up to $50,000 each for a "coyote" to smuggle them into the United States.

The 9/11 events have temporarily shelved the foolish proposals to grant amnesty to three million Mexicans illegally living in our country. Unfortunately, there is no indication that Mexico has retreated from its longtime goal of opening the U.S. border.

In Chicago on July 27, 1997, then Mexican President Ernesto Zedilla told the National Council of LaRaza, "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders." He announced a Mexican constitutional amendment that purports to allow Mexicans to retain their Mexican nationality even though they become U.S. citizens (which is contrary to the U.S. naturalization oath).

When President Vicente Fox came to the United States this year, he reiterated this line, proclaiming that "the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders" and includes migrants living in the United States. He called for open borders and endorsed Mexico's new dual citizenship law.

Some Mexicans use the term "reconquista," which is Spanish for reconquest, to describe their desire to see California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas acquired by Mexico and named the new country of Aztlan. They are teaching their youth that the United States "stole" those areas from Mexico and that they should be "returned."

The United States acquired the Southwest a century and a half ago in three ways: part by the 1845 annexation agreement with Texas, which was then an independent republic, part ceded by Mexico in the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo after the Mexican-American War, and part by the 1852 Gadsden Purchase

Mexico's claim to the Southwest originated with the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas, which drew an imaginary line on the map to divide the Western Hemisphere between Spain and Portugal. Because geography had so many unknowns at that time, Portugal got only Brazil (which is why Brazilians speak Portuguese).

Other countries never recognized this treaty, and Americans consider it ridiculous even to talk about giving the Southwest to Mexico. Most national borders all over the world have come about as the result of war.

Mexicans obviously have no thought of invading the Southwest with troops, so their hope is reconquista by migration, both legal and illegal. According to Mario Obledo, founder of the Mexican American Legal Defense & Education Fund, "California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn't like it should leave."

An amnesty rally in the Los Angeles Sports Arena on June 10, 2000 attracted 25,000 people. In demanding amnesty for illegal Mexican aliens, the speakers proudly announced the names of at least a dozen unions in Los Angeles that are now headed by Mexicans.

Vicente Fox presented Mexico's Congress with a five-year development plan to eliminate the U.S.-Mexican border. He said he plans to serve "the 100 million Mexicans who now live in Mexico and the more than 18 million who live abroad," and to "strengthen our ability to protect and defend the rights of all Mexicans abroad."

Juan Hernandez, appointed by Fox as special liaison to Mexicans abroad, lobbies to get U.S. driver's licenses issued to illegal aliens and defends the Mexican government's issuance of desert survival kits to those sneaking across the border. On ABC's Nightline on June 7, he boasted: "We are betting that the Mexican-American population in the United States ... will think Mexico first."

Fox's five-year plan calls for building a larger consular presence in the United States, and this is already in operation. In U.S. areas with large Hispanic (including illegal) populations, the Mexican consul donates to the local public schools the same textbooks that are used in every elementary school in Mexico, grades 1 through 6.

The books, written in Spanish and including all academic subjects, teach that America "stole" the southwest from Mexico and that Mexico is entitled to take it back. The Mexican government considers these textbooks a symbol of Mexican national pride, guarantees a set to every Mexican child, and makes it a crime for anyone to sell them.

The only reason we learned about this Mexican plan is that one school in Santa Ana, California, decided to sell the books at a book fair and the local Hispanics kicked up a fuss about it. The school apologized to the Hispanics for selling the books, but should have apologized to the students for accepting the books in the first place.

The question we should ask our Mexican immigrant friends is, are you assimilating or invading?

Answer 7

Hardly. Mexican-American relationship have always been unequal; the United States has since its founding always been more stable, more wealthy, and more militarily powerful than its neighbor to the South and has always been able to influence Mexico in a way that Mexico has never been able to impact the United States. While some people believe that Mexico is conducting some silly plan to somehow colonize America by sending immigrants into the country, history has shown that the United States has and will probably always have the upper hand in U.S.-Mexican relations. To imply that Mexico can take over the U.S. through immigration would be like saying that America is an Irish colony due to the influx of Irish immigrants in the 1900s or a German colony due to the influx of German immigrants (or, for that matter, an African colony due to the influx of Africans imported into the country for slave labor).

The fact of the matter is that America has always been able to absorb and integrate immigrants into the nation's collective culture and there is no reason (other than nativism and racism, of course) to believe that this will somehow change for Mexican immigrants.

Answer 8

No too much, Mexico sends it's trash north to break the law, the rest stay in Mexico.

Answer 9

Yes, it has always been part of the plan. The Mexican Secret Service started by Santa Anna purposely sold half of Mexico to the USA in the mid 1800's. They knew the US was going to develop strongly economically. So in the meantime they've been sending Mexicans crossing illegally to eventually take over the sold part once is fully prosperous and developed. So far is working.

Answer 10

What??? LOL!!! Omg..... why don't you come down here and find out? You folks are a big scary trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live here and the Mexican Government has no influence what so ever in their own country because they are so corrupt!!!

Slew... uh no.... ..the Mexican Government uses the money to take trips to France, while there are millions of people here  without running water.

Razor Jim I am really impressed that you know that, I usually don't agree with you, but I am glad that you see that, I just wish you would open your eyes as to why people are going up North to make a better life for themselves.

If people here walk outside and say they want the laws to change for the better, you see them shot 2-3 days later in the face and left on the side of the road BY THE POLICE that got paid $100 bucks to do it by  some political leader.

Answer 11

I believe so.  I have suspicions the immigration groups that are responsible for the protest and organizing illegal immgirants to vote  are funded in part by the Mexicans government, but it's my personal feeling.
