Riding a bus to work ( The Republican candidate with a pit-bull face)
The smell of sulphur and perfume came back again.
I did not see anything , I just sensed that smell,
the funny thing is that, it was only me.
The most vivid episodes with these smells were, coincidentally, when some things or events stirred my soul. ( Some people when they get anxious about something ,they pass gas , but it was not my case , that odor came from somewhere else)
And all were related to one single event , unfolding over the last few years.
But lately those smells were more often and strong.
All this happened when I saw, read or heard anything about Illegal Immigration in my adopted country USA.
Over the last two years I saw too much of Gun toting Minute Men, Tea Party (teabaggers) with their don´t tread on me, Joes Arpaios making Mexicans wear pink dresses at the jails he controlled, measures , propositions, John Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern, Bill O Really, Fox News infalamating or inflating ( over blowing facts or events related to Mexicans)events directed to make immigrants look bad,Schwaenegger and other Governors, likePete Wilson, (whom my son called him Pig Wilson when he was 4) all these fiercely anti migrant people or entities.
And on the immigrant side I saw too many marches, protests DEMANDING (???!!!) legalization of indocumented people.
The last time I smelled sulfur and perfume was one day when I was riding the bus to work.
There was a black lady on the bus seating in front( this time NOT in the back) of me and she was chating like most women do, she was the leading chatter.
I was trying to rest and maybe catch some sleep when suddenly I heard this loud laughter from the ladies around me.
I got startled and opened my eyes to see or understand what caused their happiness.
I paid attention to their conversation and learned they were talking about the California Governor candidates.
This lady was talking about a republican candidate a woman.
It was clear nobody on the bus liked any Republicans ( most poor people like blacks or Latinos don´t)
The black lady said: "does not she look like one...just look at her..does not her face looks like a bulldog face??"
She was talking about , saying that she looked mean,cold,dishearted, and she was right , I had the same feelings about this particular candidate.
So I laughed too and realized that we common people have a way to vent our feelings when we know someone is a bad person or powerful.
She then added that this particular republican candidate was a rich woman.
That is a true about many Republicans politicians, most are rich and Conservative .Wealthy people and Republicans go hand on hand most of the time.
Of course not all Republicans were rich.
100 % of the Tea Party ( teabaggers) are Republicans and are most are illiterate people living off welfare and on trailer homes.
Republicans and Tea Baggers hate immigrants.
Not all rich people wanted Mexicans out of USA.
No, some bussines owners DID NOT want us out, since they knew that Mexicans produce a lot more that any other race and they don't complain as much and are very loyal to their job and this brings more money to their bank accounts or have more capital to expand or invest.
Also Immigrants did a lot jobs that nobody wanted to do or were afraid of.
True some of this bussines men or women wanted Mexicans to do their work, but they wanted us out their way once the work was done.
But this was impossible, we just could not vanish after we finish our job.
We could not live an apartheid life.
They love and need our Workforce.
Our notoriety as ethnicity is just about everywhere in public places: stores, roads, fairs, events where people get free stuff.
Mexicans don't blend so easy because with the rest of the population because of their color and their costumes.
The skin color can't be changed, but some customs could, so we could be more palatable to the owners of this Great Country.
Mexicans can be easily hated because: we are not sensitive to our neighbors when we have parties with loud music, come out of parties shouting loud and in spanish, Mexicans drink a lot, hit a car and leave, have flasy cars and and love to show them around , live on cramped dwellings where the rest of the neighbors living on the same block can't find a parking space anymore, they just love to bunch up drink out in the street playing loud Spanish Music and they don't care if people can't get by on the sidewalk, get help from community associations to get cheap rent or food and in Mexico they have mansions , disrupt traffic because of the marches etc etc...
Note that we are talking about Mexicans NOT African/Americans.
What differentiates from the Blacks is that they don't go marching out in the streets.
OH! they did.
What happened? Ghettos, Crime, Drugs,Terror, Insecurity, laziness, insensiblility toward other people, Welfare and Medicare abuse, pregnacies, cockiness, loud people.
Now Mexicans!!! The same?
All these bad habits were nothing new in Mexico generation after generation , thanks to the dictatorship of PRI, they never learned to be sensible to other people's feelings or needs or have a sense of COMMUNITY.Mexico has had a mentality of "Chingas o te Chingan."
Something that did not help is that Mexico has an ancient product which was named a National Pride:tequila, and tequila makes Mexicans feel very proud of being Mexicans and easily forget they are not in Mexico anymore.
When it came to a march for Legalization they DEMANDED to be legalized like they were a real political force, this was reinforced by Mex American politicians who kept saying this time they will achieve victory.
The worst problem was when in the marches came with banners of Zapata, el Che, Virgin mary.
All this scare Americans. They feel uneasy. Is an eyesore.
It looks like a Revolution, and Americans like or promote wars BUT NOT in their own LAND.
Some Americans fear that we are trying to take back what USA illegally took many years ago.
So this the way it was in May 4, 2010. There must be a different approach a more civilized approach, speak to USA on their language: MONEY.
A rude awakening in the Dungeon
Wake up,you asshole!!
It was a very rude awakening, with the source of sulfur odor very next to me.
I guess it was the biggest surprise of my life.
I thought it was my boss that caught me sleeping .
I was about to explain myself telling him-her that I was not feeling very well.
But the sulfur odor and the cussing quickly told me the truth.
Then I saw him or her.It was the Devil again.
I can not tell whatever the devil is a she or a he, since I remember people always said that women were the Devil or that he or she tempted men, but again, some other people saw him as a black charro on a black horse and in some paintings I saw him with very big balls or penis.
I will refer him as a he as most people on the world call him.
I did not have chance to find out his sex.
His face was right in front of me puffing out exhaling his awful mouth breath, mocking me, having fun of my surprise.
I was all by myself, since my co-workers had had break early because they are custodians.
I did not ponder why he and all the people surrounding him got into my break room, the place very apt for a dungeon.
Right there, his face and his pungent breath next to me made realize that he was a very powerful being...
And I got scared.
And he sensed it...and he was enjoying it every second of it.
The moment I recognized him my reaction was just to utter a word
FuckingDevilmotherfucker!!!!!!!
Now, to the devil these insults are like praise to him,I know all bad words are things of the devil, but anyway that was my human form of insulting him.
He reacted to my insult.
But no because the words stung him.
No.
He hated being disrespected.
And I just dared to challenge his might.
His face got red, distorted and his face suddenly had an evil face.
Then he said_"What did you say boy..."
He was using the words and tune , white people used to talk to black people when they wanted to get them for something.
He repeat it.
_What did you say boy...
I remained mute, afraid of what I just have done.
Then he opened his eyes very wide and I knew those were my last minutes of life, he was going to send me to hell.
I shut my eyes very tight and started praying in Spanish even if I am an atheist.
_Padre nuestro q estas.....
Then I heard a Whoosh like a wind draft, I opened my eyes and saw the Devil cut in slices by a white ray and then the reddish slices were smoke and he suddenly vanished.
_What the fuck!! ....I said, and before I kept on cussing ( I don´t know were or when I started cussing, I guess it was a few years after I got married) a voice said
_Relax my son, control your evils ways, don´t make the demon happy , he loves those bad words.
Yeah god had saved the day , at least my day, he had seen what the devil was about to do with me, and since god is everywhere, well...poor devil.
My room is kind a dark,but suddenly it was illuminated with a white light.
It was GOD
I said _"Oh my God!!"( I am an atheist)
And god smiled, he loves being praised or called upon.
I was never so happy to see god, he just saved me from being burned and torn in little pieces.
And there he was with his perfume and naked toddlers with no genitalia.
The devil re appeared and composing himself said to god:
_" come on god, I was just playing I just wanted to teach him a lesson, just a little burn here and there, you know."
_Shut up devil...you know we need him.
This time the toddlers with no genitalia did not play the infamous lire when god spoke.
And the devil this time looked cleaner even if he did not brush his teeth.
They needed me.
By what happened last time I saw these two guys I assumed that they were always together and you will make the same assumption later on another chapter.
So I asked god
_I thought you guys were always together.
_No, _said god_ it all depends what kind of thoughts you have,evil or good.
_So why you came seconds AFTER the devil_ almost kill me?
_I guess you have more devilish thoughts than good.
Well, nothing new, all my life I was told so , mostly by my family.
The words that god said resonated on my brain..they need me ...mmmm
I thought not again....not again these stupid assholes thinking I am the chosen one.
I felt four eyes looking at me with a very clear wish to punish me for my thoughts.
But nothing happened, no punishment came from god or the devil.
It suddenly got me...they were not playing , they needed me.
But , for what this time_
_So , you think you are very smart,,ha!!??_
this was the devil talking.
_What do you mean? what did I do this time ? what it´s going on?
_Well,my son we have a problem here and I think you have the solution.
God spoke without answering my question about what was going on.
I was about to say something when god started to talk again.
_You felt our presence several times before on the last two years, we know you did.
_yes as a .....
I was cut again.
_Did you notice anything in particular when you had this senssation that we were around_
Yes I remember, most of the ti....
I stopped,sensing that I was going to be cut again, but no, surprisingly they were eager to hear my words, their eyes fixed on me.
_Yessss___ said the devil making the word deliberately long and accented so I could understand that they needed my info.
God started tapping his fingers on my desk.
_Go on my son_ He said.
I was afraid of both, devil ans god since both of them punish simple mortals like me.Theirs was a story of punishments to Humankind.
So I opened my heart.
_I remember that when I felt your presence was every time there was news of the Legalization that Illegal Immigrants living in USA want.
_Yes you are right, very right said the devil.
_Yesssssssss____Comanding me to keep going.
_Well it is ok that they want this Legalization....
I noticed that both devil and god could not hide the interest they had on my words.
They got closer to me and were eager to sip every word I said.
_Ok ok go on...
but ...
every time I opened my mouth they were anxious.
I continued.
...._but the way they present their case to to the American People I dont´think it is the right way to sell a product.
_I have some ideas that...
_AHA!!! said god ...I am never wrong!! every time you had those thoughts You took me away from punishing people that dont praise me or believe on me,every time you had those reactions what you humans call The Gravity Law made me come to you.
_Yeah the same here said the devil, you took me away from doing my devilish things..so here we are, asshole knoweverything.
Let see how smart you are, you allproblemsolver.
(The devil was starting to get on me, but I did not dare to react like any of my Mexican Countrymen:very macho)
For what the devil had said I understood he did not like me, and I guess god came to me because he did not like the idea that some one else had ideas about solving all the problems on this shitty world of ours.
Especially a simple mortal like me.
but since god knows everything , he read my mind and said
_dont worry my son,it is not what you are thinking , if we come here is not to treat you like the devil does, don't mind him , you know he is like that.
_ok ,ok, you shithead (grrr!! fucking devil)!!) said the devil we are having too many problems and we thought you could help us in this one.
_yes ,please, said god.( he is more polite, no so when some people don't praise him)
we dont expect to you to understand the mechanics of how we work but really we need your help
and since you are the only one that had that strong force that made us come to you every time you thought of this problem well is logic that we came to you.
_Yeah this a problem that we CAN NOT solve very easy or we dont feel like dealing with it.
Problem_....I thought , these guys consider this legalization a problem_ why_???
what is it to them_???
But I know you can get say no to god or the devil, so I asked _¨what do you want me to do" ???
FLOOOOSHHH!!!
The 1st meeting
Suddenly I was in front of a small group of people having a meeting about the Legalization.
I was surprised , but these people were not, it looks like they were wating for my words.
I went thinking on how the devil or god teletransported me here.
But I stopped thinking about that, now I needed to get out of this one, I was in front of hundreds of people, and if I tried to explain to them that this was a trick of the devil or god; I knew it would not work.
So here I was, with my wonderful ideas about solving everything.
Iniside my head I was thinking what was the best method to stop caring about some issues or how to stop thinking at all.
Then I remember the opening line that all PRI demagogues use.
Those words that I hated so much as much as I hated the PRI politicians.
Comrades!!(This sounded like any politician from PRI school, I don´t know why I spoke like that)
We are gathered here with a hope that united we can achieve a Legalization for many of you here and a lot of Mexican brothers out there, and not for only Mexicans, but also for illegals from all around the globe.
America has been a country of Immigran , since her birth on this world, immigrants made America great.
And that is why I am here and you too to make America great, you and I know all this but most Americans do not, and I think I know how we can make this Americans understand that we can make America great again and that we are not a burden but a great help.
I will start with my name.
My name is Juan Perez Gonzales, I am from a small town on Jalisco, and like many of you, crossed the border illegally, many years ago.
I, like many of you crossed various times and also like you too, have many stories to tell of how was la cruzada.(the crossing)
If all of us gathered here could write the story of those days we could have a diverse book with all the hues of emotions that a human can feel.
But that is not why I am here.
Later, many of you,, might hate me or will call me racist or renegade of my own race, so don´t expect the traditional slogans or catchy phrases like si se puede or el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido ( a united people will never be defeated)
One thing yes it is true SI SE PUEDE (YES, WE CAN) and those 3 short words is the idea I want to convey to you.
I hope that after listening to me that will be convinced from the bottom of you heart that YES WE CAN.
My first question Can anybody living in Mexico just by wishing, could come to USA?
CAN WE? yes we can,, and we could ... that is why we are sitting here right now ,but it cost us sacrifices, money and suffering.
All started with an idea, a hope ,when you want it to come here, you made figures and said yes it can be done...and you did it, you came to USA for a piece of THE AMERICAN DREAM.
Just think for a moment that you still are in Mexico.
Make numbers and tell me how much would it cost to come from Mexico and be be here in the USA where you are seated right now.
How much would you need?
How many of you have relatives or friends here in USA or Mexico that would help you to realize your dream?
LA MIGRA!!
Since you left your city, town or hamlet how much did you spent?
give me numbers including transportation,food,coyote,mordidas, money left to your families while you could make some money here in the USA.
I have a number but I want to hear from you to see if we agree on that amount.
All people gave me numbers and they went from $2,000 to $10,000 dollars.
So I figured that a good average would be $5,000.
I spoke
So we can say that we could easily spend $ 5,000 dollars to come to America...right?
Ok , I can see that most of you agree on that amount.
Keep on mind those $ 5,000.
So, if la MIGRA came right now to this building, I guess we´d have to pay those $ 5,000 or more to comeback to USA..right?
When I said that, I saw lots of panicked eyes, some even looked to the exit door ,I felt the uneasinnes.
I continued.
Don´t worry, the migra is not coming here, sorry if I scared some of you.
I said so you can keep on mind all the troubles you would have to go trough if there was a raid here.
Rememeber I asked you to keep on your brain those $ 5,ooo ?
The very reason I came here was to ask you How much would you pay to to the Goverment to let you stay here?
How much would you pay to live peacefully and go freely anywhere on the USA just for pleasure or for work?
How much would you pay so you can have a legal right to work?
How much would you pay to have a driver license?
By ¨coincidence ¨they mentioned the same amount as before $ 2,000 to 10,000.
Can any immigrant gather all that money?
May be you don´t realize that you come with maybe $ 2,000 in a jiffy.
How many of you made new friends here in this country?
How many of those friends are willing to help you to come up with $ 5,000?
I know of few ones that I gladly would help them to come up with that money.
I tought of my friends Fernando and Rocio.
Like the first time we came here to USA we relied on friends to help us because it was then a big hope, now again it it is a big hope.
How many of us have land that we don´t cultivate any more? How much can we get for that idle land in Mexico?
My question is... Can we do it?
How many of you made good money because you got help from community agencies here in USA? How many of you built good houses in Mexico because of that help?
We Mexicans know that many did their money that way.
Only 20 years ago the American People were ignorant about those things, but technology taught them some things about us. Now they know that we pretend to be poor to get free stuff.
It;s not your fault , that what you learned for generations. The PRI dictatorship promoted that.
Now they know too that some people abused the system doing the things I just mentioned.
That is why they hate us.
Now is time to teach them something else:that no every Mexican is a human being needing handouts or help from them or community agencies.
Now is time to teach them that we are a new breed of Mexicans .
Now is time to teach them that not all Mex are prone to cheat if they can.
Even people living in Mexico has the same things ( commodities)that Americans have (and they are paid in pesos not dollars) ....that means that Yes we can
Si se puede!!
Lets show them that we Mexicans can think too and offer sollutions to help this country!!
We have to erase of their brains the idea that all Mexicans are lazy people squating under a cactus!!
Do you think we can come up with $ 5000 in case WE OFFER that kind of money to the goverment?
What about if we offer to pay that amount cash or in 5 year payments?
I we offer to pay that amount... do you think the economy of this country would have a boost?
Do you think The American People would like what we offer?
I made a special remark on the word OFFER all the time.
Can we do it? can we change the perception that American people have of us?
Lets give an offer that even non brainers like Tea party people can't refuse.(or understand)
when you left Mexico you had to made sacrifices to get here...well now is time to give back something to the country that gave us more that we could have in Mexico.
Lets talk to Beck, limbauhg, stern, o reilly non brainers like tea partys , birthers. minute men and all republicans lets tell them here ,we mexicans have $--------- in American dollars ...can this help America?
And besides of that money we could give an extra $ 200 (tax) each year for the next ten years.
I could tell that the seed was sown in some fertil soil.
I said some.
Not all attendants had happy or hopeful faces.
I guess many years of---------------- did not help.
Many of the attendants did not want any changes, they were still used to have handouts , or cheating taxes, or putting their sorry face to get something.
The easy way.
Corruption and apathy had rooted deeply on some of my people due to many generations being the same way.
The ones with gloomy , long faces are the ones that are the same as Republicnas , dont´want changes or are afraid of them.
Or maybe this fellow mexicans think of me as another politician like the the PRiistas they are used to in Mexico.
Those are the ones we need to convince, those that are tired of the same all politics and chicanery.
Most of you understand that yes WE CAN, but some of you them will need help.
This people that don´t believe tha YES we CAN are the same as our enemies the Republicans.
This people are the first ones that will call me racist, renegade.
These are the ones that could end our dream .
Lets help them.
Lets make them understand that if we are united we wont be defeated.
Lets learn from history,I don´t know how many of you are aware of the fact that many years ago Spanish came to Mexico and found us divided and that is how they conquered us.
Lets be intelligent this time, lets all Mexicans be one solid front against beck, limbaugh, etc etc
I can tell by your faces that many of you got the idea.
Problably you are ready to go out in the streets and start shouting yes we can.
Yes we can, no doubt about it.
But it is not so easy.
Lets change our ways first, lets not scare the People we are asking a favor from
I know there is many people out there that have spent a lot of their time trying to get this Legalization trough, but years has passed and they have not suceeded and at the time we are having this meeting I don´t see any hopes that we are close to ge anything.
Lets find out what it is the best way to present our idea to the American People and (mainly) Republicans.
(and Teabaggers, Birthers, Minutemen, Rush Limbaugh, O'reilly, Fox News)
2nd meeting
The Great Idea
Comrades, I am going to be direct with you, no dilly dally
with this matter of Legalization.
We already identified our main opponents.
Our enemies, the people opposing this Legalization are
mostly
¨White
Republicans
Illiterate (tea party people)
Rich racists (minute men)
Older People
Fox news and their fear mongers stars.
Disgruntled People who hate our president Obama and think he is an
immigrant or socialist people who finds an easyPoor, ignorant white people living off Welfare ( Tea Party) scapegoat for most of
their troubles , specially now days.
( don't feel bad this is nothing new. for thousands of years in all cultures , this has been
happening)
.
As you can see we have many enemies.
All of these people share one thing in common: They are
republicans and for several generations have been leaded by fear mongers
politicians. The fears they felt they it was projected to several generations of mostly illiterate people who are easy prey for them.
For many years humans have demonized or
idolize the unknown or make up something to live with or accept it.
This people I just
mentioned are remnants of the cold war era, specially old white people and
people who have not been exposed much to culture or are plainly racist.
One thing they have
in common they all fear communism, socialism or radical changes or anything new.
Lets wear our
enemies shoes, be in their places and think what would you do if they see
people on the streets chanting slogans that they consider socialist or communist
When they see you with El Che t -shirts,banners DEMANDING legalization , banners with a Virgin banners in Spanish.
They don't understand this and humans what they don't understand they fear it.
So, do you think
this people would be sympathetic to our cause?
No, no when they are
afraid.
It is not their
fault, we have to blame many already dead
politicians who instilled fear for several generations.
They won´t be sympathetic to us now that they feel President Obama is a demon leading us
trough the path of Socialism.
One more time I need to remind you this: For many years we have great
enemies, politicians or personalities who use the tactics of fear for their own
use.
But they never saw thousand of Mex together and DEMANDING something.
Our enemies use use (scare)
the most vulnerable American People elder and red necks non brainers.
Elders and red neck
are prime weapons used by this politicians using their scare tactics.
So, we
have identified the enemy, we now know why
they react against us.
Don´t be so quick to
say that they are just racist.No.They are afraid.And that, fear, we both our enemy and us have in common.It's just human. We are afraid too,
that, we have in common with them.
We fear Police,
Migra, KKK, Minute men, Tea Party, discrimination .
we feel the same
fears that Jews felt when Nazis came to power.
And we have a the
son of a Nazi as Governor of California.(Himself a Nazi Youth)
And we have more
states going the same way that Governor Wilson of California started with his
Proposition 187. So we know FEAR. And our enemy too, I just told you what are their fears.
They are afraid of
changes and President Obama is doing some changes, he is stirring their peace.
They already
have a big worry and we add one more worry to their psychological
affected brain.
Why instead of scaring them with El Che, Virgin Guadalupe or other offensive (for them) banners, why don't we come with a big check offering a way to solve this economic crisis?
So, we and them, the
American people are afraid.
WE are a nation in Fear!!!! The Great America is in Fear!
We Mexicans for many
generations were stripped off of our
pride as a race and also made believe that we were dumb, this done by Spanish
Conquistadors using a cross as their weapon.
This was psychological abuse.
Americans were also Psychologically abused too by many years of politics of fear and by
politicians that thought that the White race was better that any race and they
had the right to expand and take any land necessary to teach their ways.(or
impose)
Spanish had exactly
the same idea many 500 years ago when they came to Mexico.
But we live in a
world where we need each other, rich and poor we all are essential to each other.
We live in a land
that even if was Mexican , now,like it or not is American.
And this American
people speak a very different language
than ours.
Capitalism is their
Language, money.
The only Language
that might ease their fears is the language of economy, a strong economy that
will make us and make them live in harmony.
America has always
been a capitalist country. that means money is first.
So, lets speak their
language.MONEY, economy.
Republicans
paid one of their delegates to go see a nude dancer, don´t you
think they have somebody in their party that can do simple math like multiply $ 5,000 X the number of
alleged illegals? That plus a special tax, and some other socio-economic
benefits.
Don't ask a Tea
party member to do this math...he or she
would not be able to figure it out.
This dream we want to acomplish it won´t be so easy, there is a lot more to come to convince our opponents to stay away from the politics of fear, hoping that they will see the reality.
The reality is, We immigrants can help the economy, not BRAKE it.
Another Meeting
So, here I was again on another meeting set by god´s people , by this, I mean church people.
I did not feel very confortbale around in this place( a catholic church) or around this people.
Not many people had shown from the last meeting.
So I started asking people if they remembered what we spoke on the last meeting.
The few ones that were on the last meeting all came with the same answer
¨We can help the failing USA economy , and we have to have a different approach to present our case to Republicans and groups sponsored by them like Tea Party, Minute men, and Fox News and other Republican media.
Good!
The main idea was sown in their minds.
But I knew that many years of politics of fear instilled by Rebuplicans, peaked to the utmost levels in the 50´s.
The most visible masterminds were Mc Carthy and a gay FBI chief Edgar Hoover.
Many Americans that grew in tha era are still alive, now they are mostly old people, wich for this kind of politics are prime prey.
Many of the original politicians that started the cold war were still around like Jesse Helms, Ronald Reagan etc etc
Then came their clones who were at the present are the most ardent anti-imigrants Pete Wilson, Arnold Schwaznegger,(add more names)
So this meeting would be about securing a victory.
How?
With more than one sweet idea about helping the economy.
so that was the agenda
1 Present more than one idea to secure our victory, ideas that Americans could not pass by or resist.
2 Ingrain in my people´s brain the idea that we Mexicans could change the concept Americans had of us about being people waiting for handouts. Those 3 words SI SE PUEDE would a real meaning.
3 Talk to my people about changing their old ways or habits of corruption and machismo.Only this way Americnas would see us a civilized people worth of living along them witout being an annoyance or being a threat.
Countrymen we identified what identifies America:Money.
This means we are learning to speak their language:Money.
Do you know what other things would make Americans happy about us?
What other things the Republicans blame us?
Drugs.
We immigrants can offer the American people something that they can refuse: Help with the War on drugs.
I know, and you too, that somehow they are the most guilty ones since there is a big demand (?) market (?)coming from America.
If there was no demand (?) for drugs, I think many Mexican criminals would not get greedy and our country would not be in this bloody chaos.
Guess all the weapons those criminals use to kill innocent people where they buy them?
Guess who allied with narco traffickers in Central America and Cuba just to stop one of their greatest fears: Comunism.
I think Mexico should sue America because they inderectly are causing many deaths and terror in Mexico and more drug addiction.(does someone here knows a story where drugs affected families or neighbors? here in USA or Mex)
Now drugs just don´t come to America, some stay in Mexico, and our more weak people abuse it.
Our poor or young people suddenly have a way to make easy money.
They want to buy the products they see advertised just about everywhere in Mexico , by the way American products.
It sounds crazy but America has allied herself in different eras with traffickers all over the world to suit her best interest.
Learn something countrymen, America has sold weapons to Mexican criminals that have been killing and terrorizing our families in Mexico.
America armed narcos ,believe or not they did ,they gave free weapons to narcotraffickers in Nicaragua and other Central American countries, Cuba and many other countries so they could help fight Comunism.
Any of our countries can't have a prolonged war because they just ran out of money , ammunition or weapons, but enter USA and these war gets prolonged for years and years killing hundres of thousands of innocent people.Our own people.
What do we learn here?
America fears Communism, Socialism or any things that means change.
See how viciosly the Republicans are attackink President Obama.
Now more tha ever the American People are scared.(well ,I mean the elder and tea party people and some other weak minded people)
They are Scared even of they own president.
So we don't have to act or speak in a way that resembles Comunism or Socialism when we ask something from them in their own country.
We don´t want to scare them, again ,lets speak their language.
How about instead of coming with Virgin Mary or El Che images we come with an offer of helping the American economy by paying _as we said before _$ 5,000 ?
Yes they will be happy , but that is not enough to ease their fears.
What about those $ 5,000 get reduced if we let them know of any traffickers we know , heard of here in America or Mexico?
It woul be nice that for every criminal turned in they reduced those $ 5,000.
This would be done anonimously.
I know most of you, in your circle, know or have heard of a narco terrorist.
Let help us stop the terror they brought to our people in Mexico, let us make the American People understand that we Mexicans and Americans have the exactly same problems.
Lets help stop these Mother fuckers terrorists.!!!
Lets show the American people that we can do something about it!!
I know we can...CAN WE?
Silence.
My worst fears had come true: My countrymen were not ready to really fight to achieve their dream.
They were so used to Narcotrafficants and to let them be.
They were the untochables, the unmentionables.
I had had heard too many times the phrase ¨let that people alone, don´t get associated with them, stay away from them"
Then these people were idolized by many Mexicans because there were many ballads (corridos) composed for them , glorifying the murders of lawmen or rivals.
Also the silence was caused by many years of procastrination when it came to civic action.
My countrymen were and some still are used to say Why don´t the Goverment do this or that?
My Countrymen were so used to someone else speaking for them in order to achieve something.
I wondered how many got used to the american way and had a will to change their old ways, I wondered if they were ready to be part of America.
I sensed that this was what scared some many americans If we got legalized then America would be another Mexico.
This my countrymen could not understand that america had her own ways of being and they did not want to lose any of those ways, and here we were, In America, with many Spanish speaking radio stations playing corridos glorifying murderes and something worst, playing LOUDLY on the streets.
This looked a lot like the black ghettos of America, because coincidentally Mexican Narcos acted the same way as the black gangsters, showy, cocky, un-civilized, unsensible to other people.
It was terryfying thought to think of the possibility of raising the amount of Black and Mexicans gangsters terrorizing the cities.
Can my Countrymen change their ways?
Other cultures adapted more easily to America, not Mexico, and that scared many people , specially on this times of unexpected changes.
I sensed that now I was perceived as an asshole and a racist that renegaded of my own people even if I had not spoken yet
of our national pride the tequila.
I dared to no speak about it.
But at least I let people know that Americans are afraid of our ways.
I sensed that some were going to say something about how they knew some Americans having the same or worst defects than my people.
so I spoke I know that Americans are not perfect, they are just humans , and that´s exactly what we try to achive , let them know that we are humans like them, with sons that we try to raise in a good way, worries, happiness , sorrows,(same feelings)
Yes , they are the same as us.
But this is their country.
For many years in different cultures immigrants are always blamed for everything.
But nowdays Americans are scared.
And they are in bad economic woes.
And they are being manipulated by fear monger Republicans like in the 50's.
Can we stop scaring them?
Can we show them some positive changes ?
Can we show them that we are not what they have always assumed?
CAN WE?
only a few shouts of SI SE PUEDE.
