The problems of Europe and the situation we face with Mexico are not comparable.

Let's get down to the heart of this issue and delve into what nobody wants to talk about: Mexico.

Mexican government is nothing but organized corruption incarnate.

Despite being called a republic, (indeed the official name of Mexico is Estados Unidos de Mexico), with a democratic government styled after our own, Mexico is actually a defacto oligarchy, run by 19 families of billionaires who manipulate every aspect of the federal, state and local governments of Mexico. It is one of the most corrupt systems of government the world has ever seen. Bribery and mortal intimidation are the tools of this oligarchy to remain in power.

Mexico is not a republic, it's not a democracy, it's an oligarchy, let's call it by its true name, The Mexican Oligarchy.

You must give these devils their due: The ruling families have succeeded beyond imagination. The mass migration of Mexican poor people into the United States of America is the Mexican Oligarchy's solution to one of the greatest threats to their own survival.

The oligarchy has nothing to gain and almost everything to lose if Mexico starts developing an educated and prosperous middle class. Just as the American corporatists here at home are doing everything in their power to kill the American middle class, so it goes in Mexico.

The Mexican Oligarchy views a vibrant middle class as a potentially dangerous group because if there are enough of them, they will eventually demand that power be shared among the elite and themselves, with more costly benefits thrown in for the poor masses.

The Mexican Oligarchy is at the "corazon" of the problem of illegal immigration into America. It works for them on every level you can find. And until Americans realize how they are subsidizing the Mexican Oligarchy by accepting the refugees, we will never get a handle on this situation.

You must envy how clever the Oligarchy is. First, they create an economic crisis in which the poorest of the poor are actually starving to death. Then they open the northern border and don't lift a finger to stop those who desperately need to find work, or die.

But there's more! The windfall for the Mexican Oligarchy is two-for-one: Not only do they get rid of their poor people, who they would otherwise be forced to feed or risk international shame, but in addition these poor people who make it to the United States of America work their asses off and every payday they head for the nearest tienda or carniceria to use the "Envios de Dinero" to send U.S. dollars back to Mexico to support their poor relatives who depend upon them for their very survival.

So the Mexican Oligarchy is actually using its own poor people as little individual profit-centers, each one of them exported as near slave labor and the slaves in turn send money home. What a deal!

¿Quién ganar?

Everybody but YOU, that's who.

The Mexican Oligarchy gains for the reasons mentioned above. But Corporatist America gains because it gets near-slave labor workers and has a tool to break the back of any labor organization in America simply by letting in more slaves.

¿Quién pagar?

You, that's who!

The burden of this system falls directly upon you, the American middle class. You are subsidizing all of this indirectly, by being forced to lower your own standard of living to compete with desperate poor people who live so close to the edge that anything they get looks like "up" to them. If you work for a living in this country, you can't tell me you are better off now than you were ten years ago.

Until Americans stop all this squishy, touchy-feely crap about the poor undocumented immigrant and start to focus on the hard-nosed facts of where this migration is coming from and who benefits most from it, then you are going to watch your standard of living decline even more while your middle class whithers away. So come on all you bleeding heart liberals, support the Mexican Oligarchy and the American Corporatists. You're doing their work for them and they should thank you. But they won't thank you, they will continue to suck you dry and reduce you to the same level of impotency and slavery of the Mexican migrant worker.

That's the whole gist of the Republican hypocrites. We will dictate how YOU are supposed to conduct your lives because we are the billionaire leaders of this country. Why is it that we just can't beat that into your stupid heads?

They can't find Bin Ladin. Ninty-nine percent of the cargo containers coming into the United States go uninspected. There are literally thousands of human beings of unknown origins just waltzing into our country every week, unchallenged. And yet...

And yet the NSA, the CIA and the FBI among others are cleverly trying to make sense of nearly 300 million telephone records of ordinary Americans, hoping that they will see a "Pattern" emerge from some computer algorithms and that this high-tech system is going to prevent some moron from blowing up a city.

All the computer programs and all the telephone records of grammy Smith and uncle Hubert aren't worth crap unless you've got some people with brains who are running the security show. It's depressingly obvious that who ever came up with this "Patterns" scheme couldn't find his ass with both hands, let alone a pound or two of plutonium buried in a shipment of Chinese lawn chairs headed for Wal-Mart.

There's only one plausible reason why the Bush administration wants to spy on Americans. He's taking over. Goodbye freedom. Hello police state.

Meanwhile, the MSM is reporting that Tom Cruise has jumped up on another couch and that Brittney is having another baby and that Nicole Richey is too skinny.

Nice to see where our priorities are in this country.

Bah!
