Now that terror has made tightening our border more
popular, we will face another tide of pity for the
Mexicans who are stuck in Mexico.
Please look at the sentence I just wrote. It describes
the exact truth, but when I write it that way it
sounds hideously, screamingly racist, doesn't it?
Yet shouting one's pity for the poor Mexicans stuck
in Mexico demonstrates that a person is anti-racist.
Anti-racists spend most of their time slobbering
and crying over how bad America is for Mexico.
"How would you feel," they shout at us, "If you
had a huge, powerful, rich country on your northern
border like they do?"
OK, let's look at that question. If we were like
Mexico in this respect, we would have a titanic
country on our northern border which had a per capita
income ten times as high as ours. Every day enormous
medical advances would be pouring out of that huge
country at a hundred times the rate we produce them.
And, yes, they would tower over us. If we went
to their country to work and we lived there exactly
like we do here, they would say we were "migrant
workers," and that our conditions were unbearable.
They would cry and shout that no human being should
have to live the way we are used to living.
Above all, they would shout that no one should
have to live the way we normally live in THEIR country!
And they would feel GUILTY about it!
Now let's list a few of the other things they would
feel guilty about.
1) They would beat their chests about the fact
that we only make thirty or forty thousand dollars
a year instead of three hundred thousands dollars
a year like they do. They would pour money down
to us in aid.
2) Our Great Northern Neighbor would kick himself
because we die at the early age of seventy or eighty.
They would pour medical care down here to get our
average life span up above a hundred years like
theirs is.
3) Millions of us every year would be allowed in
to work at ten times our present wages and send
them back here. We would complain that ALL of us
weren't allowed to go up there and make hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year working in conditions
vastly better than we ones we work under here.
4) The Monroe Doctrine of out Great Northern Neighbor
would make it unnecessary for us to defend ourselves
from foreign enemies.
5) Our Great Northern Neighbor would have already
made all the technical and economic advances needed
to show us how we can also attain levels of riches
and health and power we had not imagined were possible.
If you think about it, there are a lot more things
like this we would see in our Great Northern Neighbor.
Mexico spends most of its time whining and pushing
American guilt. If we had a Great Northern Neighbor
maybe we would spend more time learning what it
has to teach us.
