Most Americans see first-hand the disastrous impact of illegal immigration on our wallets, wages and culture.
The annual entry of more than 1 million illegal aliens from around the world, better than 30 percent of them Mexicans sneaking across our southern border, obviously undercut homeland-security efforts. Yet more Americans must understand that Mexico's government, far from being a friend, is actively working to subvert our country's laws and political institutions.
Not since the heyday of expansionist Soviet communism has there been such an organized effort to undermine our nation. If our borders are not controlled and immigration law enforced, will we truly be a "United States" in another 10 years or a completely balkanized, multicultural society with English downgraded as the common tongue? The Mexican government promotes reconquista in the Southwest. Isn't it obvious in many areas that Mexicans are pushing out Americans, refusing to speak English and establishing de facto Mexican enclaves? A growing number of Mexicans despise their northern neighbor. American soccer fans, to cite just one example, have repeatedly witnessed the outrageous behavior of Mexican crowds during the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner," including cheers of "Osama, Osama"-- a reference to the murder of 3,000 Americans on September 11.
The Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior (Institute of Mexicans Abroad) has no respect for the internal affairs of our country. The institute was created by decree of Mexican President Vicente Fox and reports to a shadowy clique within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its vast computer database is used to deploy illegal and legal Mexicans to lobby state legislatures, city councils and county commissions to recognize worthless matricula consular "identification" cards, support granting driver's licenses to illegals, promote multilingualism at the expense of English and help Mexicans and their children sponge off U.S. services ranging from schools to medical care.
