Make no doubt about it; Mexico is a willful
participant in this Latin American invasion of our country. Opportunist and enemies
of the United States, foreign and
domestic, have seized upon Obama’s open borders program. We have a commander-in-chief aiding and
abetting third-worlders in an attempt to influence the electorate. That’s right.
I’m saying it. We have a traitor in
the Oval Office.
Governor Rick Perry, and a handful of patriots, are
trying to protect the sovereignty of this nation. He has deployed the National Guard to protect
our border. This doesn’t sit well with
our belligerent, southern neighbor.
Mexico "reiterates, in a firm and categorical way, its
rejection of this measure," read a statement from the foreign ministry.
"No circumstance at all or change in
border security exists that justifies this measure taken by the state."
The
troop deployment "does not contribute in any way to solving the
immigration problem," and is inconsistent with US-Mexico talks aimed at
"building a modern, prosperous and safe border," the statement read.
There was a time when Mexico’s aggression would be considered an
act of war. There was a time when States
would act without permission from Washington D.C. There was a time when D.C. was put on notice,
or else. That time came in 1839 in
Maine. Here is an excerpt from: America's First Great Depression
This change happened in 1839, when Maine sent a party to clear the
disputed land of British trespassers.
New Brunswick’s colonial government arrested the Maine party and
threatened that it would use force to hold the territory. Maine’s legislature responded in February
1839 by sending ten thousand state militiamen northward. Maine’s governor warned Van Buren about
suppressing a conflict with the British.
“Should you go against us upon this occasion – or not espouse our cause
with warmth and earnestness and with a true American feeling, God only knows
what the result will be politically.” In
Washington, Congress stoked the fires by authorizing the president to call out
fifty thousand troops if needed to repel the British.
And what was the end result?
Once again, Van Buren sought the middle ground. He endorsed Maine’s claim to the territory
and at the same time assured Fox of his desire to avoid hostilities. But Maine’s state militia ignored Van Buren’s
call to disband while the two nations worked out a plan for resolving the
dispute. General Scott was sent to Maine
and won the grudging agreement of state leaders to a plan of withdrawal of
American and British forces from the contested territory. An uneasy peace was restored.
What a different America we live in today! Do you believe Obama would embrace our
southern states with warmth and earnestness and a true American feeling? Yea didn’t think so.
