Mexico to U.S. Immigration: Illegal Immigration or Human Exploitation & Legalized Slavery

Written by Kdsmooth at One Brotha's Mind

Understanding History

First a little history Native Americans had settled the lands of Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. Then Spain in 1682 began occupation the area of Texas and allowed people from Mexico to freely move to these areas in an attempt to dilute and convert the indigenous (Native American) population after 1690. By the early 19th cent Americans were covetously eyeing Texas, especially after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Spain began to allow American settlements in 1821. By 1830 the Americans outnumbered the Mexican settlers by more than three to one and the Mexican government became understandably concerned. Troops were sent to police the border, close the seaports, occupy the towns, and levy taxes on imported goods to stop the influx of Americans. The Texas Revolution broke out (1835) in Gonzales when the Mexicans attempted to disarm the Americans and were defeated. In Other Words: The same settlers/thieves that Mexico was nice enough to allow into the lands took up arms against Mexico and took it. Mexico sent Santa Anna with a large army, which resulted into the Alamo.

Texans sought annexation to the United States, but antislavery forces in the United States vehemently opposed the admission of another slave state. U.S. concern though of British and French diplomats eyeing Texas helped cause annexation in July 1845. The Mexican War (1846–1848) between the United States and Mexico resulted in the cession by Mexico of lands now constituting all or most of the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. So first… thieving greedy American settlers took Texas with guns, and then the U.S. took California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado with more guns. Last time I checked that’s call armed robbery. Not to even mention what was happening to the Native Americans.

American Hypocrisy

1. Americans want to close our boarders to people who historically opened theirs to us.
2. American companies & employers illegally hire Mexican immigrants and profit on the front & back end from the slave wages they pay them. (This has been going on for more than 20 years).
3. A large portion of Americans have been lied too by the U.S. Government, Business Owners, and greedy supremist who claim that “these People” (Mexican Immigrants) are stealing American jobs, and are sucking money from our health care and educational system. Truth: most immigrants work jobs that most Americans wouldn't do even if the jobs were paying the minimum wage or higher. (Examples: farm harvesting, landscaping, low level construction, housekeeping, janitorial, etc...)

American Solution

1. Employers who take advantage of illegal labor to gain a competitive advantage for their own profit should be identified, arrested, prosecuted, and put in jail. They should be charged with conspiracy, extortion, human slavery, money laundering, and harboring and transporting illegal aliens to name a few.

2. There has be no problem with immigrants working in the U.S. for years for slave wages with no benefits and not paying taxes, so the free health care, education, and other services they require are only the restitution/reparation wages from their illegal slave employment. Enforce the employment laws on companies and make them pay lawful wages and benefits to whom they employ. Therefore taxes can be paid by workers no mater weather they are citizens or not. Understand all tax payers help make the U.S. economy stronger, “the more the better.”

3. America was once called the melting pot. If this is still true then there should be no problem with any immigrants coming here and applying for citizenship. The real question is what is the meaning of “melting Pot”? Did it and does it mean assimilation and indoctrination to thinking exactly like Neo-con…..I mean Americans, forsaking your peoples culture and history to put on the non-existent American culture, changing your name, language, and dress. Wait a minute this is starting to sound a little like slavery only with out the free labor….uh oh to late U. S. companies are already doing that.
