Hola | 1:06 a.m. March 29, 2008
I went to Mexico a couple of weeks ago for vacation. The area was great. The people were great. There were so many Americans that spanish was almost a second language. I agree the immigration laws need to be fixed and enforced, but that won't keep me from going to Mexico again for another vacation.

I support this boycott fully. Besides, with all of the drug violence and kidnappings taking place throughout Mexico, it is listed as the 2nd most dangerous country in the world to visit. Only Iraq is more dangerous. There are plenty of nice warm places throughout the Caribbean that have cleaner beaches and don't have so many beggars either.
I would hope that the Mexican government would distance itself from the comments made by their consulate in San Diego. Our government should be demanding an explanation as well. It's ludicrous that Utah's business community can't get past their grid to see what is really happening in the attitude of their "cheap" employees.

I agree with Hola. Why should we blame Mexico for our inability to deal with the issue? What we really should be boycotting is China.

I work with a woman that came here from Mexico when she was 15. That was almost 30 years ago and she still doesn't speak much English. She told me that this was part of Mexico and that it will be again, so it is a more common viewpoint than you would think.

Go ahead and boycott China by buying Made in the USA goods. More power to you - and us.
But, going or supporting Mexico, where our citizens have NO rights is a mistake. So is teaching their illegal alien kids, putting up with those who demand that we need to be speaking Spanish here, buying a house from builders who hire illegal aliens, so is banking at a bank who is willing to accept the bogus Matricula Consular Card from Mexio (they have NO centralized database of these bogus ID's), etc., etc., etc.

If you care for the Mexican people and want to help them, help expose and end Mexico's Apartheid government, and promote equality among all Mexicans, and stop the forced migration of the Indigenos into the US.
Mexico is run by an Apartheid government. The ruling class is composed almost exclusively of White elitist Europeans who hate the brown peasants, and will do anything to drive them out of Mexico. They, “the White elitists”, have succeeded in driving approximately 20 percent of Mexico’s population out of their own country and into the US.

I have actually heard people from Mexico talk about the reconquest of it's lost Southwestern territory. This doesn't surprise me, but I'm glad the public is becoming aware of the real intentions of so-called immigrants to the United States.

Deport ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS...NOW!
CitizenJim | 2:00 p.m. March 29, 2008
It is Mexico that will be part of the United States. Oh, the irony...
Carson | 2:05 p.m. March 29, 2008
I heard about the illegal invaders plans for reconquest around 1970.
I laughed.
I'm not laughing any more!

Help fix Mexico
We need to repatriate every Mexican citizen that is in the US.
However, before we do this we need to stop smelting confiscated guns.
Send all Mexicans to gun safety and marksmanship classes, arm them with the confiscated guns, and then send them home to Mexico.

If I remember my family history right Mexico once welcomed people to settle in their northern territories. Many did. Mexicans and Americans alike. Then there were stories of rules of what you could plant and raids and theft on some of the homesteads and pack trains
.
The United States came to help put a stop to the lawlessness. We ended up owning Mexico down to around Mexico City. We ended up with the treaty of Hidalgo. We returned much of the land we held and BOUGHT the disputed territory. They also agreed to not interfere any longer. They have violated that agreement. Their intervention into our affairs once again could set off a re-conquest of territory like they would never suspect.
First we will need a government on our side.
The Revolutionaries in the government have made it impossible to enforce the very laws they had agreed upon, enacted, and turned into law.
We are going to have to restore law and order in our government before we can restore law and order in our streets.

The Mexican government gives their citizens booklets telling them how to cross the border illegally and how to stay under the radar. The booklets in comic book form also tell them where and how to get services and help once they are here.
Mexico pushes our government to legalize the illegals and give them a path to citizenship, clearly they want to rid their country of their poor and criminals and place the burden on us. Our schools, jails and hospitals are a good example.

Hola, have at it. Americans are now being kidnapped in some popular places. I used to go there to, even as a kid with my father who liked the place. He even ate some of the food the poor cooked on barbecue grills. When he wanted to give me some, I told him Pop, don't you know that stuff might be bad,and he only said, there's nothing wrong with it. Like my Dad whos gone now, we all have to make our own decisions in life. If you feel Mexico's safe--have at it.
Bobby | 4:19 p.m. March 29, 2008
Mexico is one of the most corrupt nations in the world,right up or down there with the worst. Boycotting them isn't even enough. We should not have a thing to do with that place. The early Americans who founded this nation knew better. When it was suggested that the U.S. conquer Mexico,the powerfull Senator John C. Calhoun said--it would "destroy us". These were not stupid people.
Rick Hickey | 5:07 p.m. March 29, 2008
At our Day Labor Site Protest & Initiative gathering today out here in Oregon, Hispanic KIDS 7, 8, 10 yr.s old came up with thier Parents and called us Racists & Bigots for wanting Laws enforced (They even taught them the "F" word and the Bird, just for us).
KIDS are being Brainwashed that law enforcement is a Racial issue! I am concerned and you should be as well.
Is this our next Generation? Hispanics teaching their Kids to hate white people. Like the Muslims of the Middle East. Blame the White man, ignore the reality of your corrupt & irresponsible Government.
Photos/comments etc. @ danielisright.blogspot.com
BOYCOTT Mexico! It IS a dangerous(per-U.S. State Dept.) filthy Hell hole and make their Gov't do the right thing or we will continue to be their Billion $ Babysitter for their people that have fled there.
These people are so brainwashed they have signs that say "Open the Borders" & "No human is Illegal", Charles Manson & Ted Bundy gotta love that.

I know what you mean Rick Hickey. I saw all of this and more during the "Gran Marches" of the half million illegals in Los Angeles a couple years ago. Go back to Europe, the border crossed us, this is occupied territory, Nazis, no one is illegal, etc. etc. all of it, accompanied by the usuall Mexican flags all over the place with the American flag either under someones foot or upside down on the flagpole. Yep, for the sake of a few bucks, many Americans don't care about the consequences. Sick.
Bobby | 6:01 p.m. March 29, 2008
I might have given some people the wrong idea about the trips I took with my father to Mexico as a kid. I hope no one thought that I meant the food he ate hurt him. It didn't. He just wanted to buy some because he felt for the poor people who were selling it. Just the kind of guy he was.
Mexican in Utah | 11:18 p.m. March 29, 2008
Man!! You all White middle-aged and soon to be baby boomers Minutemen are so twisted. You are all a bunch of panicked and freaked working class Americans.
This used to be OUR LAND. You said you paid for it but it was a steal! You invaded California, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and you say illegal immigrants have no right to be here!!!!!!
We are here!! and we are taking our territory back! Give it 50 or 100 years, and this will be our land again!!
And there is nothing you can do about it becuase allof you will be dead (or old age).

I went to Mexico once. It was a day trip with my husband and parents back in the early 80s. We went to Tijuana and that day trip was more than enough for me. I have never had a desire to visit that corruption bloated ditch ever again!

The next step is to fully educate the public on the SPP surrender by our own government. Most of the country still does not know that our country has already been given away. It is to bizarre and unreal for the people to grasp. So we have to keep marching and loudly demanding that the politicians take our country back, and impeach them if they make excuses. There are people in our government who are working for this destruction. There is such a thing as "domestic enemies" and we've got to expose what they are doing.

I have visited Mexico several times, from 1989 - 2003. I don't know about you guys, but somehow I never felt "safe." I always felt the locals were trying to cheat me (and they probably did). I just don't like the "feeling" I get when I am there. It's as if they don't look at me as a human being, but as a dollar sign.

The empire of Spain sent a column of soldiers to intercept and kill the Corps of Discovery, the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The expedition evaded detection.
I laughed in college in 1975 when a Mexican exchange student stated that Minnesota west of the Mississppi River was stolen from Mexico and would be resettled by Mexicans.
More than once in St. Cloud, Minnesota no action was taken against "La Raza" graffitti but authorities went hyper when a swastika was used to deface the La Raza graffitti. Both are symbols of supremacists and both should be regarded as such.
I have attended local city council meetings where personnel from the Mexican Consulate have been intimately involved in the details of local city government. I was regarded as a racist for stating that they had no standing to participate at the level that they were participating.
I don't have much hope for the future. We are colonized and our leadership is allowing this.

I used to travel to Mexico frequently. I began a boycott of travel to Mexico two years ago. Instead of a trips to Mexico, I now travel and spend my money in the U.S.A. BOYCOTT MEXICO - TRAVEL and EXPLORE THE U.S.

Nancy | 12:26 p.m. March 31, 2008
Yesterday drunk mexicans violated the noise laws here....police came, was made fun of and cussed in spanish by one....offered a bribe by the illegal landlord and told they don't have to listen to them because it was women who made the complaint....do Americans feel it's ok to abolish our law and order system that has supported and made this country great? They really do plan to take over this country and they HATE us.
Bobby | 1:42 p.m. March 31, 2008
Nancy, having lived in Southern California my whole life, which one might as well now call, Mexico North, I believe everything you have written. Yes, this whole issue goes so far beyond just "people coming here to do the jobs Americans won't do (lie) that El Presidente Bush and Senor Senator McCain have said.

To Mexican in Utah,
You better go back and learn your history. Mexico had a flimsy claim to this land through Spain. This land was empty and had very few Mexicans when it was settled by my ancestors. We fully conqured Mexico and then gave back the bad parts. If we applied your logic the American Indians would have a better claim than Mexico. The fact is, this is America and you can't change that. We will absorb you and Utah will never become part of Mexico. We will stop you in the end even when we are old. For it is the old who hold most of the power. Mexican culture is inferior to America's and this will hold you back from fully conquering us. We are already seeing a change. It will be slow but in the end we will stop the invasion and assimilate your children and grandchildren. Remember Mexican in Utah that White Mexicans of European decent control Mexico to this day. White Spaniards are still White. You've shown us all your racism and bigotry from your posting. Now, go back to Mexico where you belong.
