Has the time come for another Mexican Punitive Campaign? In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered General John J. Pershing to lead an invasion into Mexico, against Pancho Villa's forces. Villa's bandits were making constant incursions into the United States and regularly robbing, raping, and killing Americans living in towns along the border. These criminals operated openly due to rampant corruption among Mexican political and military leaders. Though Pancho Villa is no longer invading U.S. towns, Mexican drug dealers, human smugglers, and violent gang members are coming across the border in droves, often with the help of Mexican authorities. ... www.examiner.com, August 5, 2009
Mexican Consulate in L.A. takes proactive role in guiding immigrants to social services Typically, a foreign consulate in the United States doles out passports, helps travelers in crisis and serves as a liaison to the home country. But the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles has become an almost de facto public agency in recent years, forming partnerships with government officials and nonprofits here to provide healthcare, offer mental health counseling, fight labor violations and hold literacy classes. www.latimes.com, July 22, 2009

Here in Aztlan, it's the people that make the difference If you had asked me 10 or 15 years ago about Aztlán and reconquista, I would have dismissed the notion as fanciful. But today, it must be taken seriously. While we have been busy with other things, Mexico has been promoting an invasion of the Southwestern United States. They come individually or as families. They come every possible way, but they come, by the thousands. … www.azbiz.com, July 06, 2009
Federal Agents on the Border on Alert All federal law enforcement agents along the border are on high alert. Sources say the Mexican Gulf Cartel is targeting two FBI agents for execution. Action 4 News has learned about an internal fax that was sent out by the FBI's San Antonio division. It warns local agents to take precautions because Mexican drug lords could be hunting them down. The alert went out Friday warning lawmen of the Gulf Cartel's alleged intentions to kidnap two FBI agents and take them across the border to be executed. ... www.team4news.com January 28, 2005
Mexico bristles over border alert MEXICO CITY - Senior Mexican officials Thursday blasted what one called an "exaggerated" State Department alert that warned U.S. citizens of increased security dangers in Mexico's border cities. Aides to President Vicente Fox issued a statement that implied Mexico's sovereignty had been attacked by the statement, which severely criticized Mexico's police and judicial system. "The Mexican government will not accept any judgment or examination from a foreign government," it said. Fox's Cabinet ministers went on television to criticize the alert and an accompanying letter by U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza. Interior Minister Santiago Creel — considered the second most powerful figure in Fox's government and a potential presidential candidate in 2006 — said American officials had been undiplomatic in the manner in which they had released the statement and Garza's letter. Both were given to reporters in Mexico City and Washington about the same time on Wednesday. ... www.chron.com January 27, 2005
U.S. Travel Alert Irritates Mexico MEXICO CITY (AP) - A U.S. warning about violence along the border in Mexico created unexpected friction with a crucial neighbor Thursday, just as new Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other new members of President Bush's team are starting to take office. The blunt warning was issued because of an upswing of killings and kidnappings linked to battles between drug gangs in towns along the Mexican side of the border, but Mexico's top Cabinet officer, Interior Secretary Santiago Creel, insisted that the warning ``went too far.'' ''Why didn't they say anything a week ago when I was in that meeting with the secretary of homeland security?'' Creel said in a nationally televised interview, referring to a meeting with Tom Ridge on Jan. 17 in Calexico, Calif. ``He didn't express any concern to me. On the contrary,'' Ridge praised Mexico's actions, Creel added. The outburst of Mexican irritation came on the day that Rice took over and as the Bush Administration is preparing to change leadership at the Homeland Security and Justice Departments, which deal with issues of drug trafficking, immigration and security along the long Mexican border. ... www.guardian.co.uk January 27, 2005
Violence cuts travel across Texas border; fiesta may quell fears HIDALGO, Texas - Day trips across the Rio Grande to Mexico used to be part of the allure for Harry and Audrey Kelley, retirees who migrate each winter from Kansas to a sunny mobile home resort here. With headlines about drug war murders and police robbing tourists, they haven't made the trip to nearby Reynosa in years. "Shoot, I wish I could be more at ease," said Audrey, 75. "But it's a little iffy right now." Violent crime has erupted in recent months across the border from several Texas towns. U.S. officials have issued travel advisories after reports of more than a dozen slayings, over 20 kidnappings, and assaults with machine guns and grenades. And that's just since August. ... www.azstarnet.com January 22, 2005
Americans Vanish in Mexican Town Drug Cartels Competing Along Border Suspected in Increased Kidnappings NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico -- Brenda Cisneros, 23, kissed her father goodbye after dinner in Laredo, Tex., just after 11 p.m. on Sept. 17. It was her birthday, and she was headed with a friend, Yvette Martinez, for a late-night concert across the border. The two drove across the international bridge into this sprawling town, famous for dancing and drinking spots. They never returned home. Jerry Contreras, 17, left San Antonio one day last May and drove across the border into Piedras Negras to attend a baby shower. There, witnesses said, he became involved in a minor accident with a gold SUV, whose enraged driver rammed Contreras's Ford Escort, followed him to the party and threatened him. Contreras ran and hid in a grocery store, but several armed men dragged him out. He has not been seen since. Cisneros, Martinez and Contreras are now listed among the dramatically increased number of U.S. citizens who have recently been reported missing or kidnapped along the border, especially around Nuevo Laredo. Last month, U.S. consular officials here issued a warning to the thousands of Americans who cross the bridge each week, including Mexican Americans visiting relatives or shopping and tourists on short sightseeing trips. ... www.washingtonpost.com January 22, 2005
Mexican government to reprint Migrant Guide The Secretariat of Foreign Relations (SRE) will reprint the " Mexican Migrant Guide," (English translation) in spite of prompting from the U.S. government and claims by U.S. legislators and NGOs who classify it as a document that could promote illegal immigration. While a date for the reprinting of a still undetermined number of the booklets has yet to be set, the guidebook can be found on the Internet page of the Foreign Ministry where it is listed as a recommended link to visit. The first edition of the Mexican Migrant Guide was handed out free, plus it was included as an insert in two popular Mexican publications. ... www.mexidata.info January 22, 2005
Illegal Aliens Have No Access to US Public Services! Commonly, illegal aliens arrive in the US expecting (even demanding) free health care services for their families. Their excuse, "we should get this, because we do the work Americans don't want." They've apparently been indoctrinated that being here illegally is of no consequence at all. Perhaps that indoctrination comes from the Mexican government's "comic book guide for illegal aliens" in the US. Hospital staff doctors usually render treatment, knowing they'll be paid by periodic "special federal reimbursement" bills by federal legislators like Senator Jon Kyl (R, AZ). Pregnant Illegal alien women who reach a US hospital not only give birth at no cost, but now have a US citizen family member, entitled to the menu of public welfare benefits. The tragedy of parents with a seriously ill child needing life-saving treatment not available in their home country receives universal sympathy. The responsibility of caring for citizens nonetheless rests with the native country, notwithstanding corrupt local governments. Illegal aliens in the US should not expect, nor should they receive free health care, education, housing or other tax-funded benefits paid by law-abiding Americans taxpayers. ... www.magic-city-news.com Jan 22, 2005
Mexico’s Undeclared War on America If a foreign country was sending more than a million of its people to illegally enter the United States every year surely that would be grounds for war. Mexico is doing that. It is no stretch of imagination to say that Mexico in engaged in an undeclared war on the United States of America. US Border Patrol Agents, according to a January 10 article in The Washington Times, "apprehended 1.15 million illegal aliens last year trying to sneak into the United States between the nation’s land ports of entry, more than 3,100 a day—a 24 percent increase over the year before." Among them, 23,000 people with criminal records were identified and arrested. They included 84 murder suspects, 37 suspected kidnappers, 151 who were wanted on charges of sexual assault, 313 robbery suspects, and 2,630 others implicated in drug-related charges. "There were 8,577 drug seizures that confiscated 1.4 million pounds of illegal narcotics with an estimated street value of $1.62 billion," according to the Times article by Jerry Seper. In all, the US Customs and Border Protection agency’s inspectors and officers processed 428 million passengers and pedestrians, including 262 million aliens, "denying entry to more than 643,000 aliens under US law." They were in addition to those trying to steal across the border illegally. ... MichNews.com Jan 21, 2005
A Renewed Mexican-American War In 1821, at the invitation of Mexico, Stephen Austin established the first American settlement in Texas (Tejas). The land was cheap, about ten cents an acre, compared to $1.25 in other frontier areas. Americans flowed in but they continued to speak English and avoided any assimilation into the Mexican culture. A mere fifteen years later in April 1836, following the fall of the Alamo a month earlier, a Texas army at the Battle of San Jacinto defeated the Mexican army, thus ending a brief war. On October 22, Gen. Sam Houston was sworn in as the first president of the Republic of Texas. A decade later, after having lost Texas, the US negotiated a treaty that secured most of the Southwest as well. That´s how we ended up with Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. Flash forward to 2004. Today in America, 58% of America´s Hispanic population are Mexican, surpassing African-Americans as the largest minority. Latinos make up 30% of California´s population and now account for more than half of all the births in the Golden State. Do the math. There are 37 million Hispanic Americans. As far as the Mexican government is concerned, their Mexican-Americans are Mexican-Mexicans. Like the Americans that poured into Texas and refused to assimilate, the same holds true for a large portion of the Mexican-American population, both legal and illegal. ... www.MichNews.com, Jan 13, 2005
Will 1.5 Million Guys Run for the Border? If you live south of the border and you’ve “made the difficult decision to seek new job opportunities outside your country,” the Mexican government is clearing the path for you. Mexico’s Foreign Ministry has printed 1.5 million copies of a pocket-sized comic book replete with pointers for safe passage north. It’s distributing the booklets throughout Mexico as a free supplement to comic books that are popular with adults. The Mexican government says the booklet, “Guide for the Mexican Migrant,” is merely the latest installment in an annual campaign to warn citizens of the dangers of crossing the U.S.-Mexican border. In truth, however, the government has taken it much farther this year. Not only does the booklet point out the dangers, it also shows how to beat them — and how to take advantage of U.S. laws upon capture. ... www.the-signal.com, Janury, 12, 2005
