One tragic thing about this book is that it was written in 2003. Since then the
Mexican occupation has doubled. Welfare to illegals is up to $20 BILLION in
California. Welfare to illegals in sanctuary city Los Angeles is past $600
million per year, while Mexican gangs murder all over the state. Yet the
lifer-politicians continue to fight for open borders, more perks for illegals,
and their illegal votes!

READER’S REVIEW (source: AMAZON)
(COMMENT: ANYWHERE YOU GO IN MEXIFORNIA, YOU HEAR
THE ILLEGALS JABBERING AWAY IN MEXICAN, EVEN IF THEY CAN SPEAK ENGLISH. THE LA
RAZA SUPREMACIST PRESIDENT OF MEXICO HAS ADMONISHED HIS EXPORTED PEOPLE TO
SPEAK ONLY SPANISH TO ESTABLISH THEIR LA RAZA SUPREMACY)
If you don't understand something or disagree with
a concept then the best way
to conceal your ignorance or discredit the idea is
to call it
"racist". Dr. Hanson did not have to go very far out on a limb to
make the
point that non assimilation of Chicanos to American culture is
divisive
and destructive - and that it is the new immigrant that is failing to
adapt. Great
book, on point and very timely.
*Starred Review*
(MEXICANS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT CULTURE IN THE
HEMISPHERE. WE’RE NOT ONLY DEALING WITH ILLEGAL AND UNINSURED DRIVING, ILLEGAL
CONTRACTING, IDENTITY THEFT, ILLEGAL VOTING, BUT MURDER ON THE LARGEST SCALE IN
AMERICAN HISTORY! ACCORDING TO CA ATTORNEY GENERAL KAMALA HARRIS, NEARLY HALF
OF THE MURDERS IN CA ARE BY MEXICAN GANGS!)
Classics professor Hanson is also, like generations
of his family before him, a
fruit farmer in California's central valley. He has employed immigrants, seen
them
flood his community during the last 30 years of mass flight from Mexico,
and
endured the crime associated with illegal immigrants. Hanson is
immensely
sympathetic to poor Mexicans, however, and the most
powerful chapter here
outlines the harried life of the illegal alien.
(THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD IS NO LONGER BILL GATES, IT IS MEX CARLOS SLIM!
MEXICO HAS MORE BILLIONAIRES THAN SAUDI ARABIA. THIS IS ENABLED BY THE
EXPORTATION OF 40 MILLION MEXICANS TO
OUR COUNTRY TO LOOT. MEXICO EVEN PRINTS MAPS TO OUR BORDERS AND ADVISES LA RAZA
HOW TO AVOID BORDER PATROL. MEXICAN CONSULATES IN OUR BORDERS, ABOUT 50 IN
TOTAL, PUSH FOR EXPANDED DREAM ACTS,
GETTING ILLEGALS REGISTERED TO VOTE, AND MORE FREE HEALTHCARE. THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT HAS DECLARED THEY DO NOT WANT THEIR CRIMINALS BACK! CA HAS THE
LARGEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE PRISON SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY. HALF THE INMATES ARE
MEXICANS!
But he hates to see the ordered culture
in which he grew up drowned by an alien inundation whose undeserving beneficiaries
are Mexico's kleptocratic rulers, for whom an open border is asafety valve
expelling the potential for democratic change.
The four
solutions to the mess that Hanson enumerates include continuing de facto open
borders butinsisting on rapid acculturation; patrolling the border effectively
and
reducing legal immigration; imposing "sweeping
restrictions on
immigration" and ending Mexican chauvinism in the U.S.; and allowing
present
policies to make California increasingly mirror an unreformed Mexico. (YOU CANT GO
FROM ONE END OF MEXIFORNIA TO THE OTHER AND NOT SEE ONLY HISPANICS IN OUR JOBS,
AND HEAR THEM SPEAKING SPANISH. IN 2006, WE WERE ALL WITNESS TO HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF MEXICAN ON THE MARCH DEMANDING THEIR “RIGHTS” AND WAVING MEXICAN
FLAGS.)
Hanson thinks that the U.S. "still need not do
everything right" to
prevent social collapse in the Southwest and that
the totalitarian uniformity
of valueless mass culture may soften that collapse.
He also sees very clearly
what has brought this crisis on: the American
globalist ideology's lust for
cheap labor and emphasis on "raw
inclusiveness" instead of "standards and taste." (BARACK OBAMA
HAS AN AGENDA OF NOT ONLY AMNESTY TO BUY THE LA RAZA VOTES, BUT ALSO OPEN
BORDERS BECAUSE HORDES OF ILLEGALS CLIMBING OUR BORDER KEEPS WAGES DEPRESSED
FROM $300 TO $400 BILLION PER YEAR)

REVIEW 1
This review is from: Mexifornia: A State of
Becoming (Hardcover)
This book shows how Mexico sends their poor to America
to work, so they don't
have to improve their own country, and how we use
these people for cheap labor
so that we can sell things for less. It's a deal
made between the two
countries. (THE “DEAL” IS PROBABLY FAR GREATER THAN
NOTED HERE. WHEN GEORGE W. BUSH FINALLY SHOWED HIS ASS AT KATRINA, HE HAD
POCKETFUL OF NO BID DEALS WORKED OUT FOR HALLIBURTON-CHENEY! BUSH RESCINDED
MINIMUM WAGE FOR THOSE HIRED BY HALLIBURTON TO CLEAN UP KATRINA. FORTUNATELY,
CONGRESS RESCINDED THE PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE. DESPITE THIS, NEW ORLEANS AND
CITES DAMAGED BY THE HURRICANE, WERE DELUGED BY LA RAZA! BIRTH RATES FOR
HISPANICS SOARED (AND THEREFORE THE 18 YEARS OF ANCHOR BABY WELFARE THAT
FOLLOWS ANCHOR BABY BIRTHING, AND ALSO MEX GANG CRIMES! ONE JOURNALIST HAS
REPORTED THAT BUSH AND FORMER NARCOmex PRESIDENT FOX HAMMERED OUT A DEAL. FOX
WOULD TURN OVER THE MANAGEMENT OF MEXICO’S CORRUPT BIG OIL TO BUSH’S CORRUPT
BUSH-SAUDIS BIG OIL, AND BUSH IN TURN, WOULD MAKE SURE OUR BORDERS WERE KEPT
WIDE OPEN FOR MEXICO’S CONTINUED EXPORTATION OF THEIR POOR, PREGNANT AND
CRIMINAL CLASSES!)
The
trouble is, it's not what American citizens want. The
"servants of the people", the
representatives, are not listening to
us, so it's always exciting to read something that
really tells it like it is.
This book is written from the viewpoint of someone
who actually lives with these
Mexican immigrants. The rich people who
want to use them in their businesses
for cheap labor don't live with them;
the liberal elites who push for them to
get amnesty don't live with them. (YOU WONT’ FIND A SINGLE BILLIONAIRE THAT DOES
NOT WANT OPEN BORDERS, AMNESTY, DREAM ACTS PAID FOR BY THE AMERICAN MIDDLE
CLASS TO SUBSIDIZE MISERABLE WAGES, AND NO E-VERIFY. NOT BILL GATES, WHO WANTS
OPEN BORDERS AMNESTY, NOR BILLIONAIRE MAYOR BLOOMBERG OF NEW YORK CITY, WHERE
MEX BILLIONAIRE CARLOS SLIM LIVES!) This guy lives among them, and knows the problems
first hand, and as I suspected, there are many, and they're not pretty.
He writes very bluntly about the problems, but not
without sympathy for the
Mexican immigrants whose own country won't take
care of them. With all the new
books out and the discussions going on about legal
and illegal immigration, and
what the American people want, I'm hoping that
these problems will be solved.
This book is one of the best on the subject,
because it is written from a
viewpoint of personal experience.
*
REVIEW 2
Victor Hanson combines scholarship (Professor at
Cal State) with personal
experience (life long resident and farmer in
central CA. who has
Mexican-American family and friends) to present a
thoughtful look at the
illegal Mexican immigration crisis. Hanson
argues that the reason for this
crisis is that both ends of the
political spectrum have vested interests in
continuing the unabated entry of illegal
Mexicans. Republicans wish to placate
business interests with cheap labor and
Democrats hope for a future electoral
base. Hanson further
explains that this wave is not like the earlier waves of
Polish, Jewish, or Italian immigration which was of
a fixed duration and where
the connection of the new immigrant to the Homeland
was more thoroughly
severed.
This book is well written and to the point (approx.
140 pages). I have also
seen Victor Hanson on several political talk shows.
He is well spoken and mild
mannered which is a welcome relief from the
cacophonous diatribe we too often
get on cable news channels.
*
REVIEW 3
As one who shares the author's ethnic,cultural and
geographical heritage, I
thought Hanson did a marvelous job of assessing
California's major social
issue, and one of America's primary problems. Like
Hanson, I was born and
reared in Fresno County, albeit some 25 miles from
his native Selma. I can
attest to the accuracy of his description of Selma
and the Central Valley in
the 1950's.
As a child, my associates included Hispanics; as a
teenager working in the fig
and peach orchards, my fellow workers were
Hispanic. During my professional
career, I have hired and promoted many Hispanics.
Hanson's Scandinavian ancestors (from
Sweden) and mine (from Denmark) came to
America legally and without speaking
English, but they succeeded--without
bilingual classes, welfare, government
subsidies, or that phenomenon known as
"affirmative action", which is
being rapidly unmasked as nothing,
more or less, than "reverse
discrimination". Hanson deftly exposes
the race industry as an amalgam of organizations
and individuals who are quick
to attack the Anglo for any slight, either real or
imagined, but who, in the
long run, seem not to do much for those whom they
purport to serve.
As a criminologist, I am well aware of
the violence committed by Hispanic
Gangs, and the fact that those gangsters
who do not wind up in the morgue soon
become expensive inmates in our overcrowded
prison system, costing taxpayers
some $25k per year each. I
am equally aware of the many outstanding Hispanic
officers, prosecutors, and judges with whom I've
worked.
Hanson has eloquently described the
failure of our educational programs to work
toward an assimilated America, as well
as the failure of the"separatists" in the race industry. (THIS “SEPARATIST MOVEMENT IS REFERRED TO AS
M.E.Ch.A., WHICH IS PARTY OF LA RAZA “THE RACE”. THE TERRITORY THE CLAIM IS THE
AMERICAN SOUTHWEST, WHICH THEY REFER TO AS “AZTLAN”. THE RACIST LA RAZA MAYOR
OF LOS ANGELES, ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA WAS A MEMBER OF M.E.Ch.A. --- SEE THE
TRANSCRIPT FROM A LA RAZA FASCISM MEETING BELOW THAT REFERENCES THIS SEPARATIST
MOVEMENT).
The one failure which, to my surprise, he did not
identify is that of our elected
officials who establish public policy. When Hanson
and I were youngsters/young
men in the Central Valley, the politicians seemed
to act in the best interests
of their constituencies. Today,by and
large, our politicians have little
integrity, but rather pander incessantly
to special interests which, in turn,
provide them with campaign funds,
endorsements,and precinct workers.It is
common knowledge that, in Sacramento,
legislative votes are "for
sale" almost daily. (THE CA LEGISLATURE IS NOW INFESTED WITH LA
RAZA SUPREMACIST PUSHING FOR EXPANDED DREAM ACTS, NO E-VERIFY, NO IMPOUNDING OF ILLEGALS’ CARS IF CAUGHT
DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE OR INSURANCE. AS FAR AS LACK OF INTEGRITY, JERRY BROWN
JUST SIGNED A LAW MAKING IT ILLEGAL FOR EMPLOYERS TO USE E-VERIFY, AND FORMER
GOV ARNOLD SCHARZENEGGER, UPON LEAVING OFFICE, GRANTED A PARDON TO FORMER LA
RAZA ASSEMBLYMAN NUNEZ SON, A MEXICAN GANG MEMBER WHO COMMITTED MURDER!) Until
we can restore some integrity among our public
officials, we will not move toward a better
California--better for Hispanics,
Anglos, African Americans, Asians, and all others!
Except for his failure to discuss the lack of
integrity among many of our
elected officials, Hanson has done an admirable
job. Mexifornia should be on
the "must read" list of all who are
concerned about the future of
Californians, notwithstanding the color of their
skins!

DICK LAMM, GOVERNOR OF
COLORADO
REVIEW 4
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of
Colorado. In that context his
thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there
was an immigration
overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled
to capacity by many of
America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant
college professor by the name of
Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book,
"Mexifornia,"
explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal
was destroying the entire
state of California. He said it would march across
the country until it
destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor
Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a
stunning speech on how to destroy America.
The audience sat spellbound as he
described eight methods for the destruction
of the United States. He said,
"If you believe that America is too
smug, too self-satisfied, too rich,
then let's destroy! America. It is not that
hard to do. No nation in history
has survived the ravages of time. Arnold
Toynbee observed that all great
civilizations rise and fall and that 'An
autopsy of history would show that all
great nations commit suicide.'"
"Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "First, to destroy
America,
turn
America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country." (PUSH
2 FOR ENGLISH! – AT LOS ANGELES PUBLIC HIGH, SANTEE EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX, WHICH
IS OVERWHELMINGLY HISPANIC, CLASSES ARE TAUGHT IN SPANISH, BOOKS AND HANDOUTS
ARE IN SPANISH, THE STUDENTS SIT ON THEIR ASSES WHEN THE (AMERICAN) NATIONAL
ANTHEM IF PLAYED, AND SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES END IN VIVA MEXICO! VIVA MEXICO!)
History shows that no nation can survive the
tension, conflict, and antagonism
of two or more competing languages and cultures. It
is a blessing for an
individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse
for a society to be
bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset,
put it this way: "The
histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies
that do not assimilate are
histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy."
Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in
which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence.
Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria
suppressed an ethnic rebellion.
France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons,
and Corsicans."
Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America,
"Invent 'multiculturalism' and
encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. (AT
A MORGAN HILL, CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL, CINCO de MAYO WAS CELEBRATED LIKE IT WAS
A NATIONAL HOLIDAY. WHEN TWO AMERICAN STUDENTS WORE T-SHIRTS WITH THE AMERICAN
FLAG PRINTED ON, THE LA RAZA STUDENT BODY HAD AN KANIPTION, AND DEMANDED THE
AMERICANS REMOVE THEIR FLAG T-SHIRTS… LISTEN TO THIS… TO APPEASE THE LA RAZA
STUDENT BODY, THESE TWO BOYS WERE ORDERED TO CHANGE THEIR T-SHIRTS AND SENT
HOME SO AS NOT TO OFFEND THE LA RAZA SUPREMACIST AT THAT SCHOOL!) I would make
it an article of
belief that all cultures are equal. That there are
no cultural differences. I
would make it an article of faith that the Black
and Hispanic dropout rates are
due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the
majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.
Third, "We could make the United States an
'Hispanic Quebec' without much
effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather
than unity. As Benjamin
Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently:
"The apparent success of
our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment
might have been achieved not
by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance
that once dictated
ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an
American, we! are left with only
tolerance and pluralism to hold us together."
Lamm said, "I would
encourage all immigrants to keep their own language
and culture. I would
replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad
bowl metaphor. It is important
to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups
living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans,
emphasizing their similarities."
(MEXICANS LOATHE ENGLISH AND LITERACY, BOTH IN OUR COUNTRY AND THE ONE THEY FLED FROM)
"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing
demographic group the least
educated. I would add a second underclass,
unassimilated, undereducated, and
antagonistic to our population. I would have this
second underclass have a 50%
dropout rate from high school."
"My fifth point for destroying America would
be to get big foundations and
business to give these efforts lots of money. I
would invest in ethnic
identity, and I would establish the cult of
'Victimology.' I would get all
minorities to think that their lack of success was
the fault of the majority. I
would start
a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority
population." (ALL OVER THIS NATION LA RAZA “THE RACE” CALLS ALL
AMERICANS THAT DO NOT CAPITULATE TO THEIR SUPREMACY “RACIST”)
"My sixth plan for America's downfall would
include dual citizenship, and
promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate
diversity over unity. I would
stress differences rather than similarities.
Diverse people worldwide are
mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when
they are not killing each
other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is
against most historical
precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to
keep a nation together. Look
at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that
they belonged to the same race;
they possessed a common language and literature;
and they worshipped the same
gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A
common enemy, Persia,
threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were
not strong enough to
overcome two factors: local patriotism and
geographical conditions that
nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E.
Pluribus Unum" -- From
many, one. In that historical reality, if we put
the emphasis on the 'pluribus'
instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as
surely as Kosovo."
"Next to last, I would place all subjects off
limits; make it taboo to
talk about anything against the cult of
'diversity.' I would find a word
similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that
stopped discussion and
paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or
'xenophobe' halt discussion and
debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural
country, having established
multi-culturism, having the large foundations fund
the! doctrine of
'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to
enforce our immigration laws.
I would develop a mantra: That because immigration
has been good for America,
it must always be good. I would make every
individual immigrant symmetric and
ignore the cumulative impact of millions of
them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm
wiped his brow. Profound
silence followed. Finally he said,. "Lastly, I
would censor Victor Hanson
Davis's book "Mexifornia." His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan
to destroy
America. If you feel America. deserves to be destroyed, don't read
that book."
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose
like an ominous cloud above
every attendee at the conference Every American in
that room knew that
everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding
methodically, quietly, darkly, yet
pervasively across the United States today.
Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages
are ripping the foundation
of our educational system and national
cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures
that practice female genital mutilation are growing
as we celebrate 'diversity.'
American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as
corporations create a Third
World in America - take note of California and
other states - to date, ten
million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is
reminiscent of George Orwell's
book "1984." In that story, three slogans
are engraved in the
Ministry of Truth building: "War is
peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is
strength."
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It
dawned on everyone at the conference
that our nation and the future of this
great democracy is deeply in trouble and
worsening fast. If we don't get this
immigration monster stopped within three
years, it will rage like a California
wildfire and destroy everything in its
path, especially The American Dream.

MEXICO IMPLODES
"Mexico seems to be a society
that is on the brink of implosion," laments Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the
Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). "The Mexican government
is losing control of large sections of the country. There is violence that is
just spilling out of control in those places, and it's right at our doorstep."
In fact, he says the hostility has
already affected the U.S. side of the border. "We've even lost control of
certain places inside our country," the FAIR spokesman explains.
"Some of the border areas have been deemed too dangerous, even for
government personnel to go in."
But Mehlman notes that the Obama
administration does not seem to be taking this border crisis too seriously

California's Accelerating Demise
The end is nearing, and it's not that far away anymore. Oh,
make no mistake, California will still be here, but very shortly, it won't be
much like anything that people who have lived here for awhile have known.
The culture, the quality of life, pristine environment, and
enviable public school systems are rapidly being segregated into ever-shrinking
areas of affluence.
Anyone who has read this blog knows that the focus here is
on illegal immigration. Is the presence
of people who are unlawfully in the country the only thing that has led to the
Golden State's desperate financial and demographic situation, however? Clearly,
no. There's been plenty of irresponsible spending by California politicians
that is, at most, only marginally related to the millions of the undocumented
who have set up house here.

FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”
by Michelle Malkin
Only in America could critics of a group called
"The Race" be labeled
racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity
chauvinists, whose
aggressive activists and supine abettors have
succeeded in redefining all
opposition as "hate."
Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this
week in San Diego at the
annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the Latino organization
whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The
Race." Can you imagine Obama and
McCain paying homage to a group of white people who
called themselves that? No
matter. The presidential candidates and the media
have legitimized "The
Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group
and marginalized its critics
as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that
the group is a radical
ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax
dollars and milks PC politics to
undermine our sovereignty.
*
Here are 15 things you should know about "The Race":
*
15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
*
14."The Race" demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien
students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding
legal immigrants.
*
13. "The Race" vehemently opposes cooperative immigration enforcement
efforts between local, state and federal authorities.
*
12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on the southern border.
*
11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee
in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration
information into a key national crime database -- and to prevent local police
officers from accessing the data.
*
10. "The Race" opposed the state of Oklahoma's tough
immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens,
put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal cooperation and
information sharing.
*
9. "The Race" joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and
sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's bilingual education reform ballot
initiative, from becoming law.
*
8. "The Race" bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as
an "absolute disgrace."
*
7. "The Race" has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security
measures at every turn.
*
6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic
outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux
Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest,
largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the
English language in the United States. "The Race" also pioneered
Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to
lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms "illegal"
and "amnesty."
*
5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of
ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or
Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood
rightly characterized the organization as "a radical racist group … one of
the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses
since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the
American West."
*
4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch
immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news networks
to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves -- in addition to
pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York
Times reported that current "Race" president Janet Murguia believes
"hate speech" should "not be tolerated, even if such censorship
were a violation of First Amendment rights."
*
3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools
subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education
grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl
Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul,
Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal
inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White water fountain, we have
our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our
aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain … ultimately the White way, the
American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to
our own destruction."
*
2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer
expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan standards for Hispanic
borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage counseling" grants,
seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and partnering with banks that do
business with illegal aliens.
*
1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy -- and the elite sheeple's
unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes:
"[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The National Council of La Raza'
is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as
its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the
people' -- and that's precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The National
Council of the People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic,
racial and tribal chauvinism."

The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza.

By Allan Wall
Yes, La Raza Really Does Mean "The Race"—And The Idea Was Invented By a Nazi Sympathizer

By Allan Wall
Yes, La Raza Really Does Mean "The Race"—And The Idea Was Invented By a Nazi Sympathizer
The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) calls itself "The largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization…" It agitates against controlling immigration and in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.
This NCLR supports
driver’s licenses and in-state tuition for illegal aliens and opposes a border
fence, secure voter ID and state laws that fight illegal immigration and
bilingual education. And its "We Can Stop the
Hate" campaign seeks to shut down your right to oppose illegal
immigration. It worked on Lou Dobbs!
In short, NCLR is a radical anti-American organization. Its funding, by the way, mostly comes from corporations, with some from the federal government.
Many immigration patriots have taken to calling the NCLR the "National Council of the Race".
A white organization would never be allowed to use "the race" in its title, now would it? In this day and age, to be called "racist" (as defined by the multicultural left) is the biggest sin in American politics and can destroy your career.
But does la raza really mean "the race"?
The NCLR says it doesn’t. Here’s the organization’s official explanation
“THE TRANSLATION OF OUR NAME: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA: Many people incorrectly translate our name, ‘La Raza,’ as ‘the race.’ While it is true that one meaning of raza’ in Spanish is indeed ‘race,’ in Spanish, as in English and any other language, words can and do have multiple meanings. As noted in several online dictionaries, ‘La Raza’ means ‘the people’ or ‘the community.’ Translating our name as ‘the race’ is not only inaccurate, it is factually incorrect. ‘Hispanic’ is an ethnicity, not a race. As anyone who has ever met a Dominican American, Mexican American, or Spanish American can attest, Hispanics can be and are members of any and all races."Let’s assume for a moment that this explanation is correct. Let’s assume that la raza can be translated as "the people" or "the community". From the point of view of patriotic immigration reform and the defense of the historic American nation, is that any better?
If La Raza calls itself "the people" or "the community", it is certainly NOT referring to the historical American “people” or “community”.
Rather, it is setting itself and its clients up as a “people” and a “community” whose interests conflict with those of the American people. Otherwise, why would they need a separate organization to support themselves? So, back to the word "raza". What does it really mean?
I consulted the Real Academia Española. That’s the "Royal Academy of the Spanish Language", founded in 1713 in Madrid, Spain. The Royal Academy is the highest authority of the Spanish language. What does the Academy say about the term raza? The first definition given by the Royal Academy:"Casta o calidad del origen o linaje." That means "caste or quality of the origin or lineage".Sounds like a race.The second meaning: "Cada uno de los grupos en que se subdividen algunas especies biológicas y cuyos caracteres diferenciales se perpetúan por herencia." Translation: "Each one of the groups in which some biological species are subdivided and whose differential characteristics are perpetuated by inheritance."That’s race too. According to the Academy, the term la raza can refer to the "human race", or to a breed of animals (such as fox terriers or Holsteins).The term has other meanings unrelated to our discussion: "a crack", "a ray of light that penetrates an opening", "a crack that forms in a cavalry helmet", "a part of a fabric", and a general term meaning a "quality of certain things, in relation to certain characteristics that define it". These are unconnected meanings, like "horse race" or "mill race" in English.
None of the Academy-approved definitions would be translated into English as "people" or "community". Besides, there are other, perfectly good Spanish words that could mean "people" or "community"—such as pueblo, gente or communidad.
Granted, no dictionary can completely cover all the nuances of a language. And meanings of words can vary according to context and usage.But that brings us back to square one. If la raza really means "people" or "community", why then does the NCLR persist in using the word raza? Americans, after all, get hysterical about the term "race". So why does the NCLR insist upon using the Spanish equivalent?Why don’t they call their group "The National Council of the Community" or "The National Council of the People"?No, they insist upon using the term la raza. Indeed, the group’s title is actually a peculiar linguistic hybrid, combining English (The National Council of…) and Spanish (…la raza).I ask again—why do they insist upon using the term la raza? Well, my friends, there is a reason. And the NCLR tells us in the second paragraph of the aforementioned document
THE TRANSLATION OF OUR NAME:“The term ‘La Raza’ has its origins in early 20th century Latin American literature and translates into English most closely as ‘the people’ or, according to some scholars, as ‘the Hispanic people of the New World.’ The term was coined by Mexican scholar José Vasconcelos to reflect the fact that the people of Latin America are a mixture of many of the world’s races, cultures, and religions. Mistranslating ‘La Raza’ to mean ‘the race’ implies that it is a term meant to exclude others. In fact, the full term coined by Vasconcelos, ‘La Raza Cósmica,’ meaning the ‘cosmic people,’ was developed to reflect not purity but the mixture inherent in the Hispanic people. This is an inclusive concept, meaning that Hispanics share with all other peoples of the world a common heritage and destiny. Aha ! Now we have something much more concrete!By NCLR’s own admission, if we want to know what it means by la raza, we can see what Jose Vasconcelos meant by la raza.
(In a similar fashion, those who wish to know Barack Obama’s racial ideology can read Obama’s own writing, or read Steve Sailer’s book America’s Half-Blood Prince since Steve read and analyzed Obama’s autobiography.)
Jose Vasconcelos was a Mexican intellectual who lived from 1882 to 1959. He was, at various times, Mexico’s secretary of education, the president of Mexico’s national educational institution the UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico), and an unsuccessful candidate for president. See photos here and here.
In the 1920s Vasconcelos penned his seminal essay La Raza Cósmica (The Cosmic Race) which NCLR cites. The la raza doctrine was influential not only in Mexico—Vasconcelos traveled throughout Latin America sharing it. Several decades later, in 1948, he revised his essay and re-published it. I read the essay (in Spanish of course). I found it quite interesting. Some of it was brilliant, some was absurd, some incoherent. Vasconcelos was interested in establishing a Latin American identity. He wasn’t just interested in Mexico, but in a civilizational vision for all of Latin America. Vasconcelos saw conflict between Latin America and the U.S. as a continuation of the centuries´ long struggle between Spain and England, going all the way back to the Spanish Armada days. Throughout his essay, he uses the terms sajones, inglesas and yanquis interchangeably. Vasconcelos describes the struggle thusly,"Pugna de latinidad contra sajonismo ha llegado a ser, sigue siendo nuestra época; pugna de instituciones, de propósitos y de ideales." (The struggle of Latinity against Saxonism has come to be, and continues being in our era, a struggle of institutions, of purposes and of ideals).I think Vasconcelos was right about this. There is a centuries-long rivalry between the Latin and Anglo-Saxon cultures which from time to time has erupted in all-out war. With good leadership, open conflict could be avoided and our interests protected. But today’s U.S. leaders are in open surrender mode. What Vasconcelos says is not that different from what Samuel Huntington described as the “Clash of Civilizations”. Ironically, Huntington was lambasted as a “racist” by some of the same people who admire Vasconcelos.
In 1588, the Spanish Armada attempted to conquer England but failed. Vasconcelos called the defeat of the Armada a "disaster". Note that the Armada’s defeat paved for the way for English settlement of the 13 Colonies (beginning with Jamestown) which were the foundation of the U.S.A.I guess if you wish the U.S. had never been founded you’d retroactively root for the Armada. Vasconcelos also regretted the fact that the British won at Trafalgar, defeating a combined French/Spanish fleet. That too was another defeat for the Latins. Although Vasconcelos wished Napoleon had won in Europe, he criticized him for selling the Louisiana Territory to the U.S.—which extended the domain of the Anglo-Saxons and set up the easy conquests of Texas and California Vasconcelos writes about "the Saxon—our rival for possession of the continent", and of "the old conflict of Latins and Saxons". The Anglo-Saxons are called "our enemies". Remember that the NCLR claims to derive its understanding of the term la raza from Vasconcelos. That must mean they too see themselves as Hispanic warriors infiltrating the Anglosphere. Carlos Fuentes, Mexico’s premier living man of letters, has spoken of the Spanish language and its "silent reconquista of the United States" (not just the Southwest !) and compared it to the conquest of Mexico five centuries ago.[El español, "esperanto" de las comunidades indÃgenas de América, señala Carlos Fuentes, By Armando G. Tejeda, La Jornada, October 20th, 2001] (See my 2002 article Spanish and the New Conquistadors.)Mexico’s previous president, Vicente Fox, has boasted that Mexicans who speak Spanish in the U.S. are doing their patriotic duty (to Mexico, of course) and complained about Anglo-Saxons not getting with the globalization program fast enough. And how about the NCLR, self-confessed followers of Jose Vasconcelos? Well, in the 1990s, the organization's longtime president Raul Yzaguirre declared that "US English [the organization] is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." US English, by the way, is an organization whose only goal is to promote English as our official language. What’s wrong with that? Well, if you’re part of the centuries' long struggle between the Latins and the Anglo-Saxons, and you’re on the Latin side, it makes perfect sense to oppose it. Now let´s look at the "race" thing. NCLR says that Spanish-speakers are of mixed origins, therefore "la raza" can’t mean race when it refers to them. But that assertion contradicts Vasconcelos’ doctrine.Vasconcelos divided humanity into five races (razas).The four traditional races are (1) the Negro, (2) the rojo or indio (meaning American Indian), (3) the amarillo (yellow) or mogol (mongol), and (4) the blanco (white).Then there is the fifth raza—la raza cósmica, the cosmic race. This race, says Vasconcelos, is still being formed. It is "una estirpe [stock, lineage] en formación". It is being formed in Latin America, by the mixture of the four traditional races. In the words of the essay, this new race will be "the union of all men in a fifth universal race, fruit of the previous [races] and an improvement [superación] over all the past [races]."It’s obvious that Vasconcelos saw this new fifth race as a superior form of humanity. And the genesis of the new race, this new humanity, would be accompanied by a new, Aquarian-like age of free will, beauty, jubilation and love. Mates would be chosen on the basis of emotion, beauty and joy, to bring about a superior eugenics, in which physical ugliness would be bred out of the human species. Vasconcelos went on for several paragraphs about the ugliness thing. He complained about the current state in which " it is repugnant to see these married couples who come out daily from the courts and churches [where they were married] with 90% of those contracting marriage, more or less, being ugly."Vasconcelos was presumably referring to his fellow Mexicans—saying 90% of them were ugly! But in the new age of the Fifth Race, for some unexplained reason, the ugly people will not procreate, says Vasconcelos. Dominant genes will triumph over recessive genes, monstrosities will disappear, and the offspring will be beautiful children, leading to an "infinitely superior type to all that have existed ".Vasconcelos predicted that the U.S. would be the last white empire. But he still thought that whites had an important historical role in bringing about the genesis of the cosmic race. After all, the age of exploration of whites had set up the racial mixture in Latin America. And despite the fact that Vasconcelos predicted this utopian world of love and harmony, the contributions of the four traditional races to the fifth race would not be equal. In fact, Vasconcelos said the white character would probably predominate. Vasconcelos thought the Indians needed to modernize. He didn’t talk much about the Orientals, although there has been some East Asian immigration to Latin America. However, even Vasconcelos defended Latin American restrictions on Chinese immigration. It’s not that Latins were being discriminatory like the Saxons up north. It’s just that they had to restrict Asian immigration sometimes because, he wrote, "it’s not fair that peoples like the Chinese…multiply like mice…" (Long before the "One Child" policy of course).As for blacks, Vasconcelos thought that some of their characteristics would have to be eliminated, bred out in the great race mixture taking place. Comparing the situation of American blacks and Latin American blacks, he wrote that "In the Iberoamerican world…we have few Negroes and most of them have been transforming into mulattos."Vasconcelos even wrote that "The low types of the species will be absorbed by the superior type. In this way the Negro, for example, can be redeemed and, little by little, through voluntary extinction, the ugliest stocks will be less prolific, and the better specimens will yield to the more beautiful. The inferior races, when educated, will be less prolific, and the better specimens will ascend in a scale of ethnic improvement. Their type will not exactly be the white, but this new raza, to which the white himself will have to aspire with the object of conquering the synthesis. The Indian, by means of the injection of a similar race, will make the jump of myriad years … and in a few decades of aesthetic eugenics the Negro can disappear together with the types which the free instinct of beauty will designate as fundamentally recessive and unworthy…of perpetuation."Not exactly politically correct, is it? If a contemporary American wrote this, what would the NCLR and the NAACP say about it?Vasconcelos also wrote in his essay that the ancient Egyptians were more intelligent than contemporary Anglo-Saxons. And he wrote that "any professor can prove that the groups of children and youth descended from Scandinavians, Dutch and English of the American universities are much more slow, almost clumsy, compared with the children and mestizo youth of the south."Vasconcelos predicted that Latin American civilization would contribute to world technology in a great way. That’s because much of the region lies in the tropics and they would thus be forced to invent new technologies to deal with the heat. And he said that the Amazon and Orinoco basins would become centers of great advances. It hasn’t exactly happened yet. Nor has racial mixture produced an explosion of love, harmony and brotherhood in Latin America. You certainly don’t see it in Mexico, where drug cartels are butchering each other. Vasconcelos wasn’t too clear on the fate of the four traditional races, but it seems he was predicting that they would eventually be absorbed into the fifth race and cease to exist as separate races. Presumably everybody would then speak Spanish and Portuguese. So do we have any choice in the matter? What if we don’t want our culture absorbed into the "Cosmic Race"?And here’s another thing you’re not likely to see on the NCLR website: In 1940, while World War II was already raging in Europe, on this side of the pond, in Mexico, Jose Vasconcelos was a Nazi sympathizer. Yes, that’s right. Vasconcelos was the editor of Timón, a magazine sponsored by the German embassy in Mexico. Some of the articles in that publication, written by Vasconcelos and others, were cheering on the Axis powers, attacking the Jews and quoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.This went on until it was shut down by the Mexican government. Today the NCLR, the Southern Poverty Law Center ($PLC) and their ilk publicize all sorts of supposed connections, tenuous though they may be, between immigration patriots and extremists, in order to discredit us and shut us down. But here is the National Council of La Raza basing its doctrine on the writings of a man who was, for a time, an open Nazi sympathizer! Is that blatant hypocrisy, or what?
