The firestorm surrounding Ann Coulter’s ¡Adios, America! has spread below the border, to Proceso, a prominent Mexican news magazine. What’s really interesting is the long comments thread: it’s very bad news for anyone foolish enough to believe (as our Main Stream Media and political elite apparently do) that Mexicans like America — or that Mexican immigrants have any intention of assimilating.
The Proceso article, [Migrantes mexicanos son más peligrosos que el Estado Islámico: escritora de EU (“Mexican migrants are more dangerous than the Islamic State: US Writer”), May 30, 2015] was based on only one segment of Coulter’s combative interview with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos. The comments were mostly from Mexicans in Mexico, with a few from Mexicans abroad and some non-Mexicans. The same arguments popped up again and again — indeed, I was already familiar with them from reading the Mexican media. (Translations and hyperlinks mine).
The frustration that her extreme ugliness of body and soul provokes has surely conditioned here extreme manner of thinking, of labeling entire cultures and proposing their extermination…
Extermination? When did Ann call for that? Oh yes, just advocating immigration restrictions means you’re a Nazi.
Still, another did call both Ramos and Coulter attention-seekers and asked why Ramos was seemingly so uninterested in improving Mexico.
Ann’s faith was constantly attacked. How could she wear a cross and be “racist?” One commenter said she wasn’t worthy to wear the cross.
Now, I’ve pointed out myself that some Spring Breakers behave inappropriately. But Spring Breakers only spend a week in Mexico. Many Mexican criminals are permanently residing in the U.S.
If you feel invaded then return to where your ancestors came from, by the Atlantic Ocean. These lands were ours when they arrived invading, annihilating Indians and then Mexicans…By the way, Franco currently resides in the United States.
I’ve only been to the U.S. once, and I could perceive that there was not a pure culture, I’m not even sure I’m right, but that’s not important. … The true culture….is what has been constructed by the millions and millions of immigrants that form that country and that come from Latin America.
Indeed, open advocacy of Reconquista was common. For example, Alejandro Carrillo (May 30, 12:48) declared:
This is the true vengeance for the territory that belongs to us, now we are inundating it with more paisanos and soon, very soon, it will be Mexican territory or at least have a majority of Mexicans. They are right to fear us!Abelardo (May 30, 13: 00) crowed that
[T]he nearly 50 million Mexicans on the other side are not out of place, but we are from here, they robbed what they should not have, and constructed where they shouldn’t have It’s only a question of time and we will give the turn to the tortilla…nobody cares about your culture, in fact, what culture? ….f — you! Ann coulter if you don’t like our America go back to England or wherever you coming from.Here are three more:
Marcos (May 31, 13:48):
[T]he gringos should fear the consequences of their actions, because the stolen territories are now being repopulated by their original inhabitants… [The U.S.] will become a mestizo culture, by the mixture of races … poor gringos are going to become what they hate so much.Hector (May 30, 14:40):
[E]very day Mexicans and Latinos prepare in universities to take important roles….when a Mexican or Hispanic becomes president in about 40 yearS, let the racists tremble….they will be ruled by a Latin culture where the family is numero uno.David Chavez (May 31, 9:43):
If we go to the other side of the river it’s not that we want to become gringos, it’s just that we are recovering the territory that they took from us…Chavez works for the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico — proving that Mexican Protestants can also be Reconquistas in good standing.
If it weren’t for the nearly-slave cheap labor in the United States, the country would not be so powerful and progressive as you have been always…most of what is consumed in the U.S. is manufactured or harvested in Mexico…
Some commenters went further, declaring that the U.S. has no culture, history or identity of its own — so anybody can move in and establish his own culture there. As Ponchin Peregrino (May 30, 17:41) said: “the U.S.A. is nobody’s and is a country of immigrants.”
This, of course, is the logical end of the “nation of immigrants” mythology.
But other readers recognized the Anglo-Saxon origins of the United States — they just don’t like it. One said the U.S. was founded by “the scum of England”. (If true, a remarkable accomplishment! According to Cuauhtemoc Miranda Jaspeado (May 30, 12:24):
[T]he Anglo-Saxon culture is the most predatory culture, a murderous culture that goes spreading death throughout the world… this culture should be extinguished…Doesn’t much sound like they want to assimilate.
Still, I did note two other interesting reactions:
Cheko Grana (May 30, 12:20) attracted the most attention by saying he partially agreed with Ann, having lived in a Mexico barrio in the U.S., which he hated. He eventually moved to a white neighborhood, where he was accepted.
Juan Castaneda (May 31, 14:09) wrote:
Everybody here feels offended by the words of this writer and they attack her because they know she is right. Besides, if they feel such disdain for this nation of immigrants, why don’t they return to theirs?Gerardo (May 30, 20:36) concurred:
I wanted to hear somebody dare to say what this lady says is a lie. Unfortunately it’s the sad reality — that’s what we are….This lady put Jorge in his place, and I for my part congratulate her.What can we learn from all of this? The intellectual culture in Mexico militates against most Mexican immigrants assimilating.
There is intense hostility to the U.S., inflated assessments of Mexican contributions — and outright plans to take over part or all of the country.
It’s yet more evidence that Ann is right: we need an immigration shutdown.
