WASHINGTON Â While debates about guest-worker programs for illegal aliens take place in the corridors of power, in the streets of America's big cities no amnesty is being offered by activists calling for the expulsion of most U.S. citizens from their own country.Banners being carried proclaim the true purpose and intent of all these marches.
While politicians debate the fate of some 12 million people residing in the U.S. illegally, the Mexica Movement, one of the organizers of the mass protest in Los Angeles this week, has already decided it is the "non-indigenous," white, English-speaking U.S. citizens of European descent who have to leave what they call "our continent."
"This is our continent, not yours!" exclaimed one banner.While Washington is focused on speading some form of bastardized democracy around the globe, we Americans are facing a real threat right here in our own borders from radicals and revolutionists who would force us all back to Europe, taking everything we have built and created in the process.
"We are indigenous! The only owners of this continent!" said another.
"If you think I'm illegal because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history, because I'm in my homeland," read another sign.
History reads a lot differently than these hot-headed "Latinos" like to think.
Mexicans, as they imagine themselves, did not exist until the Spaniards -- non-indigenous, white, Spanish-speaking people of European descent -- invaded and occupied Central America. In breeding with the native indians, they created the forefathers of this group that think they own it all, but are in fact, just as European as any of the rest of us.
This is my homeland. I am as "indigenous" as anyone in America today. My ancestors arrived in St. Augustine, Florida, way back in the 17th century. If any damned Mexican thinks I don't belong here and wants me out, he -- or she -- are going to have to take me out on a slab.
