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 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.
