More Mexican Women
Cry Out

The trend is set. BadEagle.com is among the front liners giving voice to the women of Mexico who decry the abuse that massive tresspassing in the north is causing them. The "adventurous" men who join the fantasy invasion and conquest of America are behaving like a horde of irresponsible bandidos, leaving behind women and children to fend for themselves. Then they start other "families" up in the north country. So what happened to that 'good Catholic family' thing Mexicans are supposedly known for?

streets. But despite its charm, more people are leaving every day. Photo by

BadEagle.com first received mail on May 4th, 2006. A second piece came May 9th. I posted a BadEagle Journal Entry May 7, but waited till the second piece before publishing a FrontPageMagazine article May 11. Today, I discovered that National Public Radio has been on this story of Mexican women also. Their first major piece on the lamentations of Mexican women and children was apparently the day after my first Jounral post, and it was called "Migrants Job Search Empties Mexican Community," (May 8). The next day, May 9, they published another piece, "Mexican Migrants Leave Kids, Problems, Back Home." May 12, today, NPR posted "Reversing the Flow of Mexican Workers." There are radio broadcasts available to hear, linked to these articles. It is good to hear from the women of Mexico.
These are all pitiful tales of broken families, broken because of morally destitute men. Never mind the "frustrations," the "hopelessness," and all the other excuses. Whatever the grand vision they had when they left their families, they have not improved anything for them. It is clear that they have simply abandoned them. This is a moral and social outrage. Many villages have become 'ghost towns,' the women way.
And so there are in fact Mexican social workers trying to bring these stories to light. In my FrontPage article, I mockingly asked, "So, where's the voice of international protest here? Where are the feminists when you need them?" Apparently they're beginning to show up, after all.
Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, NPR
Lourdes Garcia-Navarro does most of the writing for NPR on this recent story line. She's certainly a professional. The email sent to BadEagle.com was from one Eva Albavera Viveros. Senora Viveros has sent mail to other web sites and blogs as well. A search of her name reveals a goodly number. She apparently started contacting American sites in April (at least, one Eusebia Florez was passing out her contact info then.)
The point is, of course, that the American media protrays the issue as though it's all about 'human rights' of the tresspassing masses. Completely idiotic as that presentation is in itself, it also completely ignores the plight of the abandoned wives and children deep down in Mexico. That is kind of thing is usually anathema for the liberals. Why, everything is all about "the children." It's all for "the children." And here is the most dramatic, international example of the bewildering hypocrisy of liberalism: for the sake of a racist-based agitation in America, they are willing to dramatize the "plight" of the poor Mexican workers, so cruelly denied American citizenship after having tresspassed American law, after having mocked the American constitution, the liberals are willing to completely ignore the women and children these bandidos have left in Mexico. Who cares how many illegitimate 'anchor babies' they create in America? Morality is never a concern for liberals.
School headmistress Antonia Figaroa Ibanez is
worried about the future of the children in her rural
school. More and more are leaving at a young age to
go north, and the ones that are left behind by their
families drop out early.
Perhaps there is an answer in the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Not that the Constitution is being followed at all in this current trend of rewarding international mass tresspassing, but, it is worth the patriot's consideration.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
This Amendment was ratified in 1868, and of course pertained chiefly to the American Negro population, and did not envision the mass invasion of tresspassers and illegitimate (or legitimate) anchor babies we see today. The implication is that the child is born to American citizens. If the parents are not citizens, the child is not a citizen. There was never a critical need to clarify this implication, however, until recently. What we are witnessing is the law all right, the law of unintended consequences of the subjective nature of a hastily contrived amendment, written by men still reeling from the Civil War.
A Mexican desperado is allowed to mock the laws of the United States? That's one thing. An irresponsible bandido is allowed to dump his family in Mexico (or anywhere else), and be rewarded for that? That is quite another. These people are undisciplined, arrogant, stubborn, and lawless. They think hard work justifies any and every thing they think or do.
They are as abject as al-quaeda. They are as fanatical as Islamic terrorists. And they are more easily used as 'useful idiots' by the Left, because they don't blow things up. They don't try to mass murder people. Their pathetic display of duplicity, waving American and Mexican flags, makes them the clowns of modern society. They are historical baffoons. They are being made a sport by the Left, and they don't even know it. They are too stubborn and ignorant--socially, politically, and morally.
They are slavish in nature. They are very, very low in their outlook. This is tragic, really. They are demonstrating, dramatically, the stereotype of the poor Mexican farmer, afraid to fight, afraid to stand for truth, and self-deluded into thinking they are grand, noble, and visionary. They are merely ignorant and supersitious. They think work sanctifies their ambitions, whatever those ambitions really are. (We certainly can't rely on the Leftist slogans put on their cardboard signs.)
Once again, I ask, Donde esta Zapata cuando usted lo necesita? Where is Zapata when you need him? Where is he who will restore pride in Mexico? Where is a leader among these people?
