Demonizing Mexico Is Wrong In Fact And Ethics
Samuel Cavazos - PVNN
 Some people in the United States are all upset because Mexico is trying to help their people by providing a way to contact authorities if they are found in danger while crossing into United States. The fact is that Mexican people will continue to penetrate our country and no one, not even the Mexican government, can stop that.
 Let’s remember: Spanish people were in America hundreds of years before all other Europeans. The Spanish were the first Europeans to arrive in this “new world!” Yet some folks fail to understand Mexican culture.
 In Mexico, human life is valued beyond us. Unlike Texas and other states in our nation, Mexico doesn't practice capital punishment, killing citizens. When a Mexican citizen is to be executed outside Mexico, their country protests the execution.
 Also, Mexico didn’t help in our war with Iraq because Mexico won't go out to fight other peoples’ wars (killing innocent women and children) without all the facts. Now we know what the Mexican government knew - that the United States Government didn’t have all their facts together. Most citizens now regret going to war in Iraq because Iraq didn’t have the weapons that were the reason for the attacks.
 While the U.S.A. is fighting other countries all over the globe, Mexico is making peace with all. In spite of this (recently), some United States officials and news media have been insulting and humiliating the Mexican people and their government. It reminds me of the Holocaust; sore losers with their scarcity mentality will always say that the other (more productive) peoples are taking all the jobs. And the cycle continues. All the same, we should never underestimate Mexico’s military power here and abroad. |
