Mulling over Rene Laederach to Steve Asher 18 Sep 2003

Hi Rene...

SA> Apparently there is a move in parts of Mexico to reclaim the American
SA> Southwest ["Aztlan"], including California, Arizona,
Nevada, New Mexico 
SA> & parts of Colorado & Texas. 

 RL> I've heard of that as well, but to me it seems as this will happen
 RL> sooner or later at least in the southern part of California.
 RL> Colorado and Texas are less likely, and I suspect that the 
 RL> Illegals living in those states would not like Mexico to dabble 
 RL> there.

You would think that all the massive "homeland security" infrastructure
would attempt to identify & deport illegal immigrants, but you'd be
wrong. Perhaps the US economy is too mutually dependent on them to
do anything about it.

SA> The USA is pretty much impregnable against external foes, such as 
SA> the hyped-up Iraq, but possibly could be destroyed from within by 
SA> exploiting the civil war sentiments, "liberal versus conservative" 
SA> divide, etc.

 RL> This is much more likely. Ever noticed how the US government
 RL> proceeds against 'militia' groups?

Not much, apart from Waco & Tim McVeigh, who went too far.

Cheers, Steve..
