Message: Entry: America -- A Third World Nation Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/america_a_third_world_nation#33341 Post contents: @ Justin As for gringos being invaders in the Southwest, that's a load of rubbish. The only "Mexican" presence in the Southwest were the Spanish missions and some large ranches - most of it was empty or inhabited by non-Mexicanified Indians, i.e. they didn't speak Spanish. Between the California Gold Rush and WWI, gringos came into the area and built railways, levee systems and irrigation to create farms and ranches which were predominately manned with white labor. When white businessmen wanted to subject white labor to competition from other races to boost their profit margins, white labor rioted and TR got involved and made a "gentleman's agreement" to keep California white. In 1960, the population of California was 15.7 million with 92 percent being native-born white and almost all of the non-white poplulation was black. Southern California went from being agricultural, to having oil and motion pictures and later the "defense industry". Agriculture started the practice of importing Mexicans to work the fields during WWII when the white laborers were drafted to fight the war. Mexican-"americans" already showed their colors then during the Zoot Suit Riots where Hispanics assaulted American GIs, a barber I had in Berkeley experienced it personally. During this building spree in the state which has lasted over half a century, the business community has let anyone into the country to boost their profit margins. Changing relatively homongenous agricultural settlements into polyglot graffiti-infested slums with extreme disparities in wealth is not justice, but wholesale betrayal by the business class here in California.
