The United States and Mexico/Israel and Egypt

[Bannedfan]

Now, I really, really hope we don't get any Option 4 votes, but this is my poll, and I do want to test the waters. This morning's L.A. Times featured a very prominent op-ed piece by Mickey Kaus of Slate that compared Bush's blunders in Iraq with the amnesty he wants to grant to (citizens of) Mexico. While not Kahanist by any stretch, it was refreshing to see a mainstream pundit who is actually moderate instead of far-left and one who has the courage to criticize Bush and his disasters.

Anyway, I am not voting, but I do think Mexico is darn near our equivalent of Israel's Israeli Arab Muslim Nazis.

Yes.  Mexico is indeed to the U.S. what the Arabs are to Israel.

Clearly, the Muslims are more desperate and fanatical however.

Still, the passivity of the Mexican people has caused Americans to tolerate them for so long.  If Mexicans were as insane as the Muslims, We'd have thrown them out a long time ago. 

Yes, the situation is quite similar.

You make a good point here Scriabin. The problem is yet to come however. When the Mexicans  number's become so great and attain legal status of one sort or another so they can compete with American citizens for jobs then resentment levels will rise very fast.

Yacov, at least 75% of American Hispanics are NOT righteous, and that's a conservative estimate. And according to a March 2002 national poll whose results were posted on JTF at the time, 80% of Mexican citizens felt the United States deserved 9/11.

How is that any less fanatical and hateful than the Muslims? Does it matter that Hispanic hate comes from nationalism and racial envy as opposed to religion? 95% of Muslims (who admit it!) support jihad against the United States, and 80% of Mexico's citizenry supports the Aztlan "reconquest" of the Southwest. Is 15% that much difference when you consider the sheer enormity of the numbers of the hordes involved?

[Bannedfan]

Mexico does that itself with other Hispanics that sneak into Mexico from other parts of Central America.

That's not what they do. They shoot their own illegals on sight.

McCain is trying to use scare tactics:

Did you ever visit Mexico? Would you go?

Been to Mexico many times.  Its a lot of fun.
