Posted by The Watchdog - April 6th, 2006 \nDavid M. Bresnahan\nApril 1, 2006\nNewsWithViews.com \n\nDear President Bush: \n\nI’m about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like\n to ask you to assist me. I’m going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico,\n and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.\n I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. \n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I’m on my way over?\n Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: \n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need,\n       whether I use them or not.\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their\n       school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government\n      services.\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won’t make any effort to learn local\n      traffic laws.\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to\n      leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a\n     gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments\n     from the locals.\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any\n      labor laws or tax laws.\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical\n      word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. \n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people\n who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won’t mind returning the\n favor if you ask him nicely. \n\nThank you so much for your kind help. \n\nSincerely, \n\nDavid M. Bresnahan\n\nPosted in Border crossing, Pro-Illegal Groups, Mexico

The story of "la Llorona" is very popular in Mexico. The story is of a young Mexican girl who falls in love with a Spanish officer with whom she has 2 children. The Spanish officer then falls in love with a rich women from Spain. The Mexican girls approaches the officer with his two young children and stabs them to death in front of their father. The young women is sentenced  by the court to death by strangulation with a tourniquet to throat, where she suffers a excruciating painful death. She now walks at night through the dark  streets of Mexico City crying as she searches  for her children. \n\n"Del mercado al convento, de  calzada de Iztapalapa, las buenas gentes se han recogido antes del toque de queda de medianoche. \n\nLas calles están desiertas de almas...vivas. \n\nCon el campanazo de las doce, una mujer vestida de blanco, la faz cubierta por un velo ligerísimo, se aproxima por el oeste. \n\nVa de una calle a otra, sin seguir un patrón específico, pero siempre con rumbo a la Plaza Mayor. Allí se arrodilla y besa el suelo. \n\nUnos dicen que flota; otros, que no tiene rostro. Son pocos los que la han visto, sin embargo. Los más, han escuchado su quejido lastimero: \n\n"Ay, mis hijos". \n\nY con éste, han tenido suficiente."

I suggest reading Everyday Life and Politics in Nineteenth Century Mexico: Men, Women, and War by Mark Wasserman (2000).  You will find the answers you need in there.  \nAlso, check out this website: http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/travel/dpalfrey/dpcolonial2.html

Pretty well written. Strong and to the point. Interesting parallels. A little generic but not badly done.\n\nHowever, yes, I did like it.

This book is Harper Lee's masterpiece. I like the symbolism it inculdes very much. Are you a good reader? Did you read the Da Vinci Code? Tell me what you think about it.

I loved the book. \nIf you remember, they wanted "Sameness", also if you recall the purpose of "Sameness" was to make sure people didn't make the wrong choices, in turn they eliminated all choices, using strict rules and relinquishing the ability to see color.

I think its been long forgotten....I have read it as well, and know about the violations.....Perhaps that is why there is some hidden animosity from the Mexican govt. towards the US govt....They don't want to drudge up the past, because the last thing they want is a war with US....We are neighbors....

I have read this book a couple of times and am looking forward to the movie.\n\nI think it is a great piece of fiction.  Sure, there are some truths in it, but for the most part it is pure fiction.  I have been to many of the sites that he pointed to in the book and some just aren't the way he stated.\n\nI think that it makes baseless claims about Jesus being married and having a child, and a few other things, but that is his perogotive as a writer of fiction.\n\nI am Catholic and am not in a hissy or upset or mad that the book was written, but I am upset and mad when people use it as a basis to trash my Catholic faith.  It is FICTION!  He says so himself!  But regardless of being true or not, I look at it this way, if Jesus was married and had a child, what better roll model for me, as a Catholic father to have?

**52ND----(Above)\n\n    The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) are aiding and abetting this effort. "  \n\n\n               Gramsci, a young communist who died in one of Mussolini's prisons in 1937 at the age of 46, conjured up the notion of a 'quiet' revolution that could be diffused throughout a culture -- over a period of time -- to destroy it from within.  He was the first to suggest that the application of psychology to break the traditions, beliefs, morals, and will of a people could be accomplished quietly and without the possibility of resistance. \n    \n\n---------" Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice"---------------------: John Adams\n\n                  My goodness we are being invaded by dishwashers, cooks, fruit pickers,hotel workers. And MS-13. And try to sell the image of the sweet, hard working Mexican people someplace else because I know better\n\n----------"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."-------\n ---------- Edmund Burke   \n\n\n                  And what do you think you'll have when you destroy the American people and the American infrastructure?. \n                   Do you think you'll be free? Do you think you'll be masters of your destiny?  \n Think again because the people that you are supporting - the illegal invaders to America aren't educated enough and they aren't smart enough.  They will turn America into the same kind of country that Mexico is - a fascist state with a tiny minority controlling all the wealth and the rest of the people in abject poverty.  They will be slaves - they are slaves and what this country is doing to them is an insult to them but they aren't bright enough to figure that out - and apparently you aren't either.   \n                   Wealthy farmers and landowners have always considered the slavery as a birthright.  Since the Civil War, it has been denied to them, but they got it back with the WTO GATS agreement.  \n                   And therein lies the strategy for addressing the question of illegal aliens, the so-called ‘guest worker’ programs, the sale of American citizenship for profit and the destruction of the lives of American citizens who are being crushed financially, emotionally and spiritually by the WTO trade agreements.  \n                   We have to start calling it what it is - Slave Trade and we need to dig out our blue uniforms and fight the war against the Slavers once again. \nAin't dat right Mass'r Specter?
