Who is the Mexican of Value? Jorge Ramos in the US? or the Masked Vigilantes in Mexico Fighting the Drug Cartels

When the Crusaders seized the last Moorish stronghold in Spain, Granada, for the Christian Kings Ferdinand and Isabel, they ousted Abu Abdallah Muhammad XII, known to history as Boabdil. He had given up without much of a fight, preferring exile to fighting for his country. On his way out of his native country, Boabdil reined in his horse, and looked back. He burst into tears.

His mother, who had advised him to fight for everything he had believed in, to fight for his country, to fight for his people, for la raza on his native soil, mocked him.

She said to her weeping son:"Thou dost weep like a woman for what thou couldst not defend as a man."

If people profess a love for their native country, and their native country is being oppressed by would be Crusaders, the drug cartel, Knights Templar, one should stay and fight for the beloved country, rather than self-exile oneself to another country, and then whine about conditions in the host country.

Jorge Ramos is the Mexican self- exile, immigrant cum American citizen who is the poster boy for amnesty for illegal aliens, ….undocumented immigrants……undocumented workers.

Jorge is a living reincarnation of Cortes' compadre, Pedro de Alvarado ( see pictures below), and like the Conquistadors of de Alvarado’s ilk, the Conquerors of the Aztecs, he came to America not to respect America's laws but just to get rich.

Jorge is a hard working immigrant, who pays taxes, and grows the economy ( if one considers reading the news a value added occupation). A hard working, telegenic immigrant who deserted his native country for money and power in a foreign land.

According to his website, Jorge “Has been called “Star newscaster of Hispanic TV” and “Hispanic TV's No. 1 correspondent and key to a huge voting bloc” by The Wall Street Journal”.

He became rich, and became an advocate for illegal aliens to have amnesty, especially for his fan base, illegal Mexican aliens.

Jorge left Mexico for the United States, a self imposed exile, and once in exile whined and nagged his host country, the nation which had succored his ambition, about changing its immigration laws.

He did not stay in Mexico and fight the drug cartels; he did not go back to Mexico to fight the drug cartels.

“Immigration Reform’s Wild-Card Power Broker

“….Ramos explained the stakes: “I know we are 50 million strong, but it means nothing if we don’t vote. The lesson is very simple: If you vote, we will be powerful.”

Over the phone last week, Ramos told me that he sees Univision as a “social leader” in the Hispanic community. ….In 2010, a survey from the Pew Hispanic Center found that Ramos was one of four people Hispanics identified as the “most important” national Latino leader—along with Sonia Sotomayor and Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez. When the immigration debate begins in earnest, “from that table in Miami, he is a player in the negotiations,” says Roberto Suro, an expert on Latino politics and media at USC’s Annenberg School (and a friend to Ramos).

Ramos, who is 54, was born in Mexico, where he worked as a radio journalist until 1983 when government censorship compelled him to move to America. In 1986, at the age of 28, he became the anchorman for Univision, and in the years since, he has become an impassioned advocate for undocumented immigrants. Ramos and Univision have not been shy about promoting their liberal stance on immigration. In A Country For All: An Immigrant Manifesto, one of several English-language books Ramos has written on the subject, he lays out his stance on immigration reform, making it clear that he wouldn’t accept anything short of citizenship—not even permanent legal residency—for the undocumented workers in this country…THE NEW REPUBLIC”.

Ramos  weeps for the granting of American citizenship to illegal aliens  in America, but does not and never has fought for  la raza, like a man, in Mexico. He left that to the brown ones, the indios.

While Ramos has luxuriated in his Conquistador countenance being plastered all over Spanish language television, his former fellow citizens, the indios, have covered their faces with ski masks, and risen like men against the drug cartels.

“When vigilante militiamen stormed this farming town in western Mexico this month, a killer for the Knights Templar drug cartel pushed out of a house with a bazooka. But with training from ex-soldiers, the militiamen rapidly shot the gangster dead before he could unleash the rocket and he fell onto the dirt street, his lifeless finger touching the edge of the trigger. The vigilantes now defend the rim of the town, bearing Kalashnikovs behind barricades of sandbags, watching for Knights Templar snipers. They soon hope to advance into the nearby town of Apatzingan, the bastion of the Knights Templar, to deliver the deathblow to their enemy.

Led by farmers, shopkeepers, doctors and taxi-drivers, vigilante militias have turned the tables on one of Mexico’s most ruthless cartels, the Knights Templar, a gang that names itself after medieval crusaders to appear brave and righteous even as it traffics crystal meth. The offensive has changed the face of the country’s drug war inspiring optimism that cartels who rule by terror can be defeated when the people rise up against them. …Known as autodefensas – or self defense squads — the vigilantes first emerged in indigenous villages in Michoacan state in 2011. But in recent months, they have mushroomed to have thousands of combatants across Michoacan and neighboring Guerrero state, advancing into towns, villages and ranches, where they are shooting dead cartel operatives, destroying narco symbols and declaring the communities liberated.

...the meteoric rise of the vigilantes owes much to the way the Knights Templar preyed on the communities they controlled, extorting, kidnapping and raping. While still a major exporter of crystal meth to the United States, the Knights had diversified its crime portfolio, shaking down businesses large and small. In the “liberated” towns, residents reveal how far the Knights dominated their lives. Farmers of avocados and limes had to pay a quota for every kilo they produced; corn growers were forced to sell their maize cheaply to the criminals, who sold it at double the price to tortilla makers; people who owed money had to hand their entire homes to the cartel, who brought notaries to sign over the titles. Those who stood against the gangsters risked being tortured, sometimes publicly, or decapitated.

“They had our lives completely controlled. They knew about everything we did and we were always scared of being beaten or murdered,” says Salvador Esquivel, a commander in the vigilantes helping defend Paracuaro. Last year, Esquivel’s own brother, a state legislator, was hacked to death by alleged Knights Templar bearing machetes. “This is a fight for justice, because the government has never given that to us,” Esquivel says.

The Knights Templar also tried to control the community’s spiritual life. Its founder Nazario Moreno, alias “The Maddest One,” wrote a book of quasi-religious ideas called Mis Pensamientos, or my thoughts, which includes a mix of self help Christianity and peasant revolutionary politics….In the central square of …., a vigilante leader who goes by the nom de guerre Comandante Cinco confessed to shooting dead several alleged gangsters. “We have to kill them. If they captured me, do you think they would let me live?” says the militiaman, who sported a bulletproof vest, assault rifle and a baseball cap stitched with his comandante name.

The vigilante leader explained that they are financed by donations from residents and businessmen, who prefer to support the vigilantes than pay protection to the cartel’s toughs. Some of their weapons are bought in the United States and smuggled south, he said, and others have been seized from the Knights Templar. Many of the farmers learned to shoot in hunting clubs, he says, while the vigilantes also trained with some members who had served in the Mexican army.

However, the vigilante commander says he would happily lay down his gun and return home once the Knights Templar are definitively destroyed. “I never imagined I would be fighting like this. The situation forced me to do it,” he says. “I have ranches with limes that I have to work on. But the Knights Templar won’t let me live in peace.”…TIME

The indios of Mexico, la raza, cry out in anguish, “Donde esta Jorge Ramos?”

Jorge is not in Mexico defending his people from madmen; he is in America seeking power and wealth by encouraging Mexicans to run from the cartels and migrate to America, even if that migration violates American laws .

At 54, Jorge Ramos can still fight for his people, para la raza; there is a ski mask and an AK-47 ,with his name on them, waiting for him, to use them as a man.

America should offer sanctuary to the la raza who fight evil, who fight the drug cartels. America should offer  sanctuary to these warriors, to these modern day Zapatistas, to these modern day  Aztec warriors, Cuāuhocēlōtl and  Cuachicqueh.

Real Mexicans don’t want citizenship nor amnesty from the United States; they want sanctuary, a time to rest, a respite, a recuperation, a refitting. Real Mexicans do not  desire amnesty nor citizenship for those who will not nor did not fight murderers, plunderers and rapists.

Sanctuary not amnesty, that should be the key principle of America’s Immigration Policy circa 2014.

For the following  manifestation is the end result that America truly wants from its immigration policy as it concerns its Mexican visitors:"To fight the cartel Mexican emigrants return to their homeland...Many who have long lived in California travel....to central Mexico to support militias standing up for their communities....Los ANGELES TIMES"

A ski mask awaits Jorge Ramos, if he is man enough
