Among
people I know, the ones who haven't lived around illegal aliens think
that:
--they are just sweet
innocent poor people who come here to find work
--without them, the
price of fruits and vegetables would go up*
--America is so rich
we can support everyone in the world
--we should all just
'love each other' (the most self-righteous people use the word 'should')
*According to the
California census 2010, two percent of the Mexicans in California are picking crops.
Most everything is harvested with giant harvesting machines (called
'harvesters'). So, 'deporting all the illegals' would have little effect
on fruit and vegetable prices.
Idealists are nice,
but I wish they would talk to people who have lived around South Americans before they form
strong opinions about how everyone should feel about immigrants.
*******************************************
Invasion
is exactly what I call it - not immigrating.
South Americans don't
even know the history of their own country, much less ours. No
kidding! They get excited about Cinco de Mayo because they get to party
and drink but I have asked them what country they won their Independence from -
they look at me blankly - they have no idea what I mean. They don't know
that their country was invaded by Spaniards who took all their gold and killed
all the rebellious people (and all the smart people - 99% of the illegals have
IQ's below 100, they are concrete thinkers their entire lives). Spaniards
kept the docile ones as slaves to work in the mines and service them in every
imaginable way; they don't know why they speak Spanish and they're
Catholic. They also don't know what democracy is or how the economy of a
nation works.
*******************************************
The rich people in Peru are the "first five
families of Peru". They own just about everything.
When I lived there,
the patriarchs of the families were running the businesses, the adult children
were jet-setting around the world going to parties given by rich young
people in other countries, I don't know what the moms were doing, they were
kind of invisible.
The people who come
here illegally are the poorest of the poor and the least educated in their
mostly-illiterate countries. Millions of 'la gente' (peasants) live
in cardboard boxes on the outskirts of Mexico City and Lima, the capital
cities. They were born into abject poverty and most of them stay
there. They string electric extension cords for miles to have some
electricity for televisions (in their boxes). Now and then there is an
electrical fire that destroys a cardboard barrio and people are
killed. Government doesn't care.
The public schools are
pathetic, the government hires ignorant women who are little more than
baby-sitters (parents in Brazil were rioting a few years ago, trying to get the
government to hire real teachers). The kids don't have any toys, they
don't have any educational toys either, they don't do 'sorting' games when
they are toddlers so their brains don't develop the compartments that are
necessary for abstract thinking. When Steve and I vacationed in
Mexico, bands of tiny children roamed the beaches begging from the tourists and
attracting attention by banging empty tin cans and other metal trash
together. Their eyes are deadpan, their faces are expressionless.
There is a small middle class of people who work and live in apartments in
the cities. Their children wear uniforms to go to public schools.
They learn a little more but not much because the priests run the public
schools so the children spend most of their day memorizing catholic
prayers - they are repressed and controlled. When they get out of school
each day they act like wild animals. A lady who immigrated to Torrance came over
one day with some other people and brought her 2 boys that she had just picked
up from Catholic school. They ran around like whirling dervishes
trying to break everything in my back yard. I just stared at them - I
hadn't seen children behave like that since I lived in Peru.
I could go on and
on. The girls in the barrios and in the jungles are raped daily by every
man who can get access to them including their brothers. That's why
they are constantly pregnant, there are a lot of birth defects, and the
general population is still very short. Peruvians are mostly under 5 feet
tall. When I went to Cancun and Cozumel in 1984 the people there
were also tiny, under 5 feet tall. They haven't gotten taller and taller
like Americans and Europeans. A doctor explained that: when children
start getting pregnant, before they are full grown, their growing stops because
their bodies focus on nurturing the fetus. Here and there we met a
tall red-headed freckle-faced Peruvian - some of them had German last names,
some of their ancestors changed their last names to Spanish-sounding
ones ... they fled Germany after WW1 and 2 to avoid being tried for war
crimes.
I read a couple of
books about South American culture: one called The Children of Sanchez,
another was about the Sherente and Shipibo tribes in the jungles.
My brother was
a Peace Corpsman in Peru. He used to come visit and bring other Peace
Corpsmen/women. They loved it at our house - American food, showers,
and beds, were a luxury to them. One group had been to the jungle where
they encountered villages that didn't have any grown women, just men
and children (most of the girls pregnant of course). When they asked
'where are the women'? They were told "dead". They found
out that most of the girls died in childbirth as teenagers -- after having
8 or 10 children, their bodies were so malnourished that they couldn't survive
another birthing. The men didn't exactly raise the children.
When the mother died they were on their own - some of them already pregnant
from getting raped every day. When a man saw a girl on the trail, he
put her down on the ground, got his rocks off, and walked away. The boys
in the city were very aggressive with girls. I went to a British boarding
school in Lima. I was safe at school but in the city I was sometimes pursued
by native boys - I had to run home
and burst in the door and lock it more than once.
It sucks, doesn't
it? When these immigrants become the majority in America, they are going
to get elected and change our laws. They will set back
women's rights 500 years.
*******************************************
Oh, there's
more. Absolutely everyone in government lives on bribes. We bribed
the aduanas (contraband inspectors) at the seaport and airport. We had
nothing illegal but if we didn't, they would spend several days taking us apart
- after a few hours they would start hinting around about their bribe
money. Anyone who needed anything from the government started by bribing
clerks a little bit, then they got to see a manger, they got a bigger bribe,
they could get you in to see someone more important, who got a bigger bribe ...
you get the picture ... all the way to the top.
Shopping in the city
was an ordeal. There was a Sears Roebuck in downtown Lima, it was the
nicest store in the country but it still did check out the same way as the
other stores. All the merchandise was behind counters, customers weren't
allowed to pick up anything or walk away with it or try on any clothes.
You could see it, handle it in the presence of a clerk. If you wanted it,
the clerk gave you a bill, you went to a cashier, like cashiers in Las Vegas -
a bulletproof cage with armed guards around it. There, you paid for your
item and got a receipt, took the receipt back to the clerk who gave you your
item. If the store didn't do this, nothing would ever get paid for;
people would walk out with everything. There were supervisors watching
the clerks and the guards too - they protected the store from employee
theft. Employees would take every dime the first night if they could
touch the money unsupervised.
How long will it be
before stores here do something similar? There are already some stores
where clerks deposit money from customers directly into the top of a locked
safe that no one can get into. An armored car service collects the money
every night. And of course, everything we
buy here is encased in hard plastic boxes to deter theft, and we have the security cameras and
merchandise detectors at the doors. In Las Vegas, I saw older
neighborhoods that had new high walls built around them. Residents left
absolutely nothing outside of their house. There was colorful graffiti on
the walls -- it all looked barren and cold and vandalized. In Lima,
residents in nice neighborhoods (doctors, foreigners, etc. lived there) had
multiple locks on the doors and windows, and high walls around the houses with
brightly colored broken glass cemented into the tops of the walls! It was
pretty and it deterred burglars.
When we were shopping
in Lima, there were peasant men peeing on the buildings in every block.
They were also ejaculating on the buildings. Every time they saw a woman
and got hard, they turned to the nearest building or fence and ejaculated. My mother would shield our eyes and say 'don't look over
there'. When peasant women had to do #1 or #2, they squatted at the
curb with their skirts around them, did it, got up and walked away. They
never cleaned themselves. My sister and I never looked a man in the face
- if we did he would make some gesture that indicated he 'wanted' us, then he
would follow us around. Some of them would sidle up very close to us and
whisper endearments into our ears - we were 11 years old. We had no
carnal knowledge but we could tell that the men wanted to do something to us
and we knew that we better never let ourselves be caught alone with any
indigenous man or boy or something bad would happen. That's a scary way
for children to live. Guess what - Immigrants do the same things in
the U.S. that they did at home. In Los Angeles, the Downtown Merchants
Association complained to the city that the outside walls of their store were
always sticky and stinky and their customers complained about it. The
merchants said 'We used to wash the outside walls of our building once a week
and that was sufficient -- now, the south Americans are urinating and
ejaculating on it many times a day -- we could wash our building 10 times a day
and it would still be stinky and sticky most of the time.' Los Angeles
has laws against public indecency and if only a few immigrants were doing it,
they would be caught and put in jail -- but when a million immigrants are doing
it all day every day, police would be overwhelmed if they tried to catch all of
them.
Of course, I know
Latin Americans in the U.S. who were born here and their parents were born here
as well. They speak English (some of them don't know Spanish), they went
to college, they own businesses, they get married (although their track record
for fidelity is notoriously imperfect), some of their children serve in the
armed forces; they are Americans just as much as any of us. Some of them
go into Politics (I heard one of them yell 'the beeg houses should go to beeg
families'). They want to socialize housing. The government gives
them homes to live in so they think the government gives homes to
everyone and it's unfair that they get small houses while white people get big
houses in nice neighborhoods. They don't know that we have mortgages, we
pay taxes, interest, insurance, upkeep, and capitol improvements on our
property -- they wouldn't understand the concept if we tried to explain it to
them. In their country, the President is the biggest bully in the
country. 'Elections' are the times when guys with big guns come into the
cities and villages, they shoot a man (to scare the villagers into complying)
then they march everyone to the Polls and tell them to mark X on the paper here
(next to the name of the bully who is paying them) and sign their X at the
bottom. Americans don't know how Democracy is twisted into 'Rule
by Tyrant' in the South American countries. I saw men with machine
guns on every corner in Zijuantanejo. Mexico had just gone through
'elections' and the new President was guarding against the old President taking
his country back. In America, the news agencies reported that Mexico
held Democratic elections and elected a new President.
Thanks to news
agencies, sheltered Americans are starting to hear about Immigrant
Crimes. They steal everything that they can pick up. No one leaves
a bicycle outside unlocked. When I put a cover over my car at a repair
shop in Torrance the owner told me 'You can't leave that cover on - it will be
gone tomorrow; we can't even leave an ashtray outside - immigrants come every
night and take everything they can carry.' There's worse: In the
Latin section of Los Angeles, men burst into a church during a baby's
christening and murdered the father. The same thing happened at a child's
birthday party: men burst into the back yard and murdered the father right in
front of all the children. They opened the DWP boxes and pulled out
copper wiring and sold the copper to a scrap-yard. Their greed caused
massive black-outs in their own neighborhoods.
We moved to a suburb
of Washington DC in 2014. For the first few months, I heard no Spanish at
all. Then I heard one family speaking Spanish (in the Walmart of
course). Five years later, I was surrounded by Spanish whenever I was in
a public place. In 2014, people played Frisbee, football and baseball in
the biggest public park. In 2019, all the parks are covered with brown
people playing soccer, bouncing balls off of their heads, cooking stinky food
on the grills, blasting mariachi music from boomboxes, stealing everything from
the bathrooms and leaving them filthy. Real Estate Developers have been
quickly building condos and townhouses to accommodate the growing
population. They don't know that Latin Americans don't buy homes; one
family rents a 1-bedroom 1-bath apartment then everyone they know moves in with
them. Landlords keep finding 20 adults and 30 children living in small
apartments that they rented to one family. The Latins sleep in shifts,
doors are torn off, the boys gather around the bathroom whenever a girl is on
the potty so they can point and giggle at her exposed body parts. No one
has any privacy. When girls go into a potty stall in a public bathroom
they often just sit there for a long time enjoying the privacy - while women
are lined up, waiting uncomfortably to use the potty.
Did I ever tell you
what happened in Palos Verdes one weekend when everyone's lawn furniture was
missing?
I hope this sounds informative rather than angry ...
I don't have any resentments about it but sometimes written words can sound
angry when we aren't.
*******************************************
Well that's a
lot - I keep thinking of more. I don't know if you want to post so much,
but I hope that people who read it will get a more complete picture of how the
invasion from the south is going to change our country.
UPDATE #1:
Oh, I just remembered an important story that illustrates how they do the same things here that they did in Mexico -- even some 2nd generation Latins.
When we lived in Pacific Palisades (late 1980's), we had a gardener named Jose. One day, he brought his high school age son to help him. While they were there, our neighbor called, she was upset and my husband heard her 16-year old daughter screaming and crying in the background. The girl had looked out her bedroom window and saw the gardener's son peeping at her, not only that, he was jerking off. She had never seen a penis before, she was understandably horrified, grossed out, scared, all of the above. We said we were so sorry, we would send them away and tell the gardener to never bring his son again. The housekeeper was there too, she was also Latin. She heard the disturbance and wondered what was going on. We told her what happened ... she shrugged and said "So, he enjoyed himself." To Latin women, a Latin man enjoying himself is more important than any girl's feelings.
UPDATE #2:
Another misconception:
I met a fellow in Los Angeles who was part of a project to keep young Latin boys out of gangs. He said that the hard part was that: the boys are angry and they get angrier as they grow up. When they get close to puberty, they want the pretty white girls with the creamy skin -- they dream of that creamy skin -- but they are short, dark, they don't make good grades, they don't dress well, they don't have money to buy the girls perfume (that's how their Latin father gets Latin women) -- they see the white boys getting the white girls and they get angry that they can't have them. The Latin girls also get angry that the Latin boys want the white girls more than them - it makes them hate white girls. They're all angry about being poor. They are told that they are poor because of 'over-consumption by white people' so they hate white people for making them poor. When gangs recruit the young Latin men they tell them that they get to steal and rape and vandalize. Sounds good to an angry young Latin boy!
BTW, South Americans are told by their governments that they are poor because of 'over-consumption in the north'. Many of our American College Professors also believe that we are responsible for the poverty in South America, and Africa, and China, and we're responsible for anything bad that happens to any 'person of color'. Actually, North Americans don't consume anything from South America except what we pay for. The real cause of poverty in South America is: their politicians take all the money from the treasury for themselves. Politicians get bribes from the wealthy people who own everything, and they get money from Foreign Aid (mostly from the U.S.). They give the people nothing. Evita was beloved in Argentina because she was the only politician the people had ever known who built hospitals for them. She also took a lot of money for herself but at least the people got some attention while her husband was in power.
UPDATE #3:
TENTS -- I used to play sports on some public courts every night with my friends. I noticed a tent in the front yard of a house across the street from the courts; it was a 1-bedroom 1-bathroom rental. I didn't think anything of it but it was there for several more nights. That was unusual but I just thought the kids were having a weekend sleep-over or something. Then there were several more tents for several weeks. My friends noticed it too and wondered what was going on. Then all the tents disappeared and an article in the paper explained that the tenants (with a Spanish last name) had been evicted because they were renting tents to illegal aliens - there were tents in the back yard too that we didn't see. Police estimated that there were 10-14 adults and 40-50 children all using the same bathroom and kitchen in the duplex and sleeping in the tents.
HALLOWEEN -- When we lived in Palos Verdes, we used to decorate our house for Halloween and take our daughter trick or treating in our neighborhood. There were 60 homes tucked inside a golf course, we knew everyone and all the kids too. It was fun to see their costumes, guess who was in the costume (they giggled when they stumped us) and give them candy. We kept doing it for a few years after our daughter got too old and went to parties with her friends instead. The housekeepers who worked in the neighborhood started coming in with dozens of children that we didn't know, they didn't speak English, they didn't say 'thank you', some of them were un-costumed and way too old to be trick or treating. Then they started bringing bus-loads of people, all Hispanic, all ages, they grabbed handfuls of free candy and ran off. Halloween wasn't so much fun any more, we turned off our lights.
I've been spending some time on the East Coast this last year. The Hispanic population is growing rapidly. People here are upset that graffiti has appeared on lighthouses, statues, and buildings that have been here for hundreds of years; buildings are smelling like urine and the crime rate is rising ... all hallmarks of Hispanics. My friends in Utah are upset that graffiti has been spray-painted on ancient petroglyphs. They can't get they can't get the graffiti off without damaging the petroglyphs. My friends in Pacific Palisades get up early every morning and use some special spray paint remover and scrub the graffiti off of their garden wall. I mentioned it at a dinner party and a lady objected: "but that's how they get self-esteem". Charming. They need counseling before they enter the U.S. so they learn positive ways of getting real self-esteem instead of vandalizing and getting negative attention. Real self esteem comes from making the world a better place.
POSTSCRIPT:
I think the U.S. should declare a Moratorium on Immigration. We need to take stock of how many illegal aliens we have in our country now, how much they are going to cost us over the course of their lifetimes, and multiply it logarithmically to project the cost of their children, grandchildren, etc.
We need to implement a plan to teach them our laws, customs, and language. That will help with the crime and with the problem of Americans getting taxed beyond their ability to pay without seriously damaging their own family members. "Bi-lingual Society" doesn't work in any city or country where it exists. It creates segregation and inequality. In the sixties, Americans fought and died for equality and racial integration. We all spoke the same language so we were able to integrate -- people don't speak the same language can't integrate.
