Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole (24 page)

       
   
Texas Governor Rick Perry: “If you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”
⁴²

       
   
Rick Perry, again: “The 15-foot ladder business is going to get good on that 14-foot fence.”
⁴³

       
   
And again—Perry: The only thing a border-wide wall “would possibly accomplish is to help the ladder business.”

Why doesn’t Rick Perry say that to Israel?

AT LEAST MEXICO DOESN’T BEHEAD PEOPLE LIKE ISIS—WAIT, WHAT?

In 2014, the American media exploded with news of ISIS beheadings in Syria—six thousand miles away from the United States. Meanwhile, the beheading capital of the world is just to our south, a stone’s throw from American homes, businesses, and ranches. When the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria first began posting videotaped beheadings online, it was as if no one had ever heard of such barbarity. In fact, decapitation porn was an innovation of the Mexican drug cartels.
⁴⁵

One “ISIS” video circulating in 2014 showed a man being beheaded with a chain saw. Then it turned out the video wasn’t an ISIS beheading, at all: It was a Mexican video from 2010.
⁴⁶
After American David Hartley was shot and killed by Mexican drug cartel members while jet skiing with his wife at a lake on the Mexican border, the lead investigator on the case was murdered and his head delivered in a suitcase to a nearby military installation.
⁴⁷
In 2013, there was a huge outcry over Facebook’s video-sharing policy when an extremely graphic video of a man beheading a woman appeared on the site. That, too, was a product of Mexico.
⁴⁸

Where is the 24-7 coverage for these champion beheaders? If it seems like you never hear about all the dismemberments in Mexico, you’d be right. In a search of all transcripts in the Nexis archive in the first eight months of ISIS’s existence as a jihadist group, “beheading” was used in the same sentence as “ISIS” or “ISIL” 1,629 times. During that same time period, it was used in the same sentence as “Mexico” or “Mexican” twice.
Indeed, in the previous five years Mexican beheadings were mentioned only sixty-six times.
⁴⁹
If a tree falls and beheads a woman in Mexico, does anyone hear it?

The main difference between decapitations in Syria and Mexico is that Mexicans also behead women, children, and innocent bystanders.
⁵⁰
In addition to pioneering videotaped beheadings, Mexicans specialize in corpse desecration, burning people alive, rolling human heads onto packed nightclub dance floors, dissolving bodies in acid, and hanging mutilated bodies from bridges.
⁵¹

Why are the media obsessed with ISIS’s beheadings but not the more frequent head-chopping right next door? It would be as if French newspapers in 1930s obsessively covered the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, while relegating news about Germany to the back pages. While the Chaco War was important—the bloodiest South American conflict in the twentieth century—Hitler’s increasing militarism was arguably of more immediate concern to France.

The American media’s fixation on monsters twelve hours and several connecting flights away from the United States, while ignoring the savage butchery occurring in a country within walking distance, is so obvious that border fence advocates have taken to warning that Islamic terrorists might enter the United States through the wide-open Mexican border. It’s possible, but you know what’s even more possible? That Mexicans will walk across the border.

Iraqi terrorists may long to maim and rape Americans, get them hooked on heroin, burn down hundreds of acres of our national parks, and kill Americans in drunk driving accidents. But it’s Mexicans who are actually doing these things.

Even
Newsweek
complained about the media’s obsession with ISIS beheadings, to the detriment of beheadings in . . . Saudi Arabia!
⁵²
About eighty criminals suffer this punishment in Saudi Arabia every year, and while the legal proceedings might not meet Western standards of proportionality, those decapitations are administered only after a formal trial and
conviction. Between 2007 and 2011, 1,300 people were beheaded by criminal gangs in Mexico—and that’s in addition to the 100,000 murders by other means.
⁵³

One of Mexico’s most notorious beheaders is now living freely in the United States because of Justice Brennan’s footnote. In 2010, fourteen-year-old Edgar Jimenez Lugo beheaded four men in the wealthy resort town of Cuernavaca, Mexico, and hung their corpses from a bridge over a busy road, their heads and genitals lying nearby.
⁵⁴
Although Lugo was raised entirely in Mexico, his illegal alien mother had given birth to him in San Diego. So after serving a quick three-year sentence in Mexico for four dismemberments, Lugo “returned” to America. This country was helpless to stop him—at least until someone notices that our anchor baby policy is based on the mental delusion of one Supreme Court justice. The U.S. embassy refused to say where the gruesome murderer would be living, or to discuss his case at all, due to “privacy considerations,” according to Britain’s
Daily Mail
.
⁵⁵

In a microscopic item on the case, the
New York Times
referred to Lugo as a “U.S. Boy.”
⁵⁶
So the
Times
believes a fourteen-year-old who was merely born here, but raised entirely in Mexico, is an American. But a fourteen-year-old born in Mexico and raised in the United States is also an American—a “Dreamer”! Show me the reasoning behind that, other than:
We want as many Mexicans voting here as we can get!

HEADLESS BODY FOUND IN BORDERLESS COUNTRY

I take it that liberals would be dismayed if Mexicans began beheading people in America, based on their relentless mocking of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s claim, in July 2010, that there had been beheadings in the Arizona desert. The
Washington Post
’s Dana Milbank sneered: “Ay, caramba! Those dark-skinned foreigners are now severing the heads of fair-haired Americans? Maybe they’re also scalping them or shrinking them or putting them on a spike.”
⁵⁷
Salon.com
cited Brewer’s remark to sneer that “as you can see, Jan Brewer is crazy.”
⁵⁸

Apparently, liberals considered it pretty far-fetched that Mexican cartel violence would ever, in a million years, cross into America. So if it ever did, that would be a big deal, right?

Three months after Brewer’s claim, Mexicans beheaded a man in Arizona.
⁵⁹
Within the next two years, a headless body turned up in the Arizona desert,
⁶⁰
and the dismembered body of a nineteen-year-old American girl was found in Oklahoma.
⁶¹
All three dismemberments were believed to be the work of Mexican cartels—confirmed in the first Arizona case.
⁶²
At that point, liberals’ position was that it was no big deal, after all. In fact, Mexicans beheading people in the United States was of such utter insignificance that the media barely mentioned these beheadings and went back to the eye-rolling retort:
Show me a fence, I’ll show you a ladder.
⁶³

The Mexican predilection for beheadings is not limited to drug cartels. In 2004, two Mexican men decapitated three
children
, ages nine to ten, in Baltimore, Maryland, over some obscure family dispute. Everyone involved was an illegal alien, all related to one another through a series of connections that would require a Talmudic scholar to sort out, but seemed to involve a lot of baby mamas. According to the Mexican government, the executioners, Policarpio Espinoza and Adan Espinoza Canela, were the children’s uncle and cousin, respectively, and the (three) parents were: Ricardo Espinoza, Mimi Quezada, and Maria Andrea Espejo. One child was completely decapitated, the other two partially decapitated. Even seasoned police officers were shaken by the grisly crime scene.
