This Blogger has spent time in Mexico: Mexico City, Zacatecas, Morelos, Merida, and Chiapas. He has supported the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN). In 2005, he dated a comely Mexican La Pasionaria, who believed in illegal migrations, amnesty, and Open Borders (Opposites attract, and we did not discuss politics). Based on his empirical observations of the Mexican illegal alien population in Los Angeles, he published the following on February 15, 2012. “Most illegal aliens in Los Angeles are from Mexico; I believe that their compulsion to come and stay in America is driven by the desire to make DISNEYLAND, a permanent part of their lives. They are enraptured and captivated by  DISNEYLAND. They think DISNEYLAND is the personification of Magic Realism. DISNEYLAND is the Mecca of their Dreams; their trip EL NOTRE is merely a  Hajj to DISNEYLAND. I firmly believe that there would be no illegal alien problem from Mexico if Disney had built DISNEYLAND in Mexico City, o

MEXICO-CARLOS ARRUZA This Blogger’s interest in Mexico was inspired, nurtured and cultivated by my brother, who was fascinated with Tlacaelel, the Cardinal Richelieu of the Aztec Empire. He was fascinated that Tlacaelel lived 90 years, (1397-1487) without modern medicine.  This Blogger sees Tlacaelel as the Stalin of Mexico; he was one of the first leaders to indulge in re-writing known history, until it was the new truth. When he was a young kid, this Blogger’s brother took him to Tijuana, Mexico to see the corrida, bullfighting. On that occasion, this Blogger saw the legendary Mexican matador, Carlos Arruza.

He began his match with the bull fighting Portuguese style, on horseback, and then the canny bull nicked the horse. Arruza got off his horse, kissed it, led it off, and returned to kill the bull on foot. The jam packed audience went mad with worshipful delirium This is h

When the Crusaders seized the last Moorish stronghold in Spain, Granada, for the Christian Kings Ferdinand and Isabel, they ousted A bu 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.
