      I Am El Vez: The Mexican King

      Posted by Orato

      I am El Vez, the Mexican Elvis - a modern mulitcultural hybrid of Americana and Mexicano. More than just entertainment, I am a thinking man’s Elvis, a post-modern King with a Latin twist, the Chicano experience presented and told through the songs of Elvis.

      On tighter US border with Mexico, violence rises

      Posted by Jeff from Christian Science Monitor

      I'm a liberal and I'm pro-border enforcement: The harder it gets to sneak illicit cargo – immigrants or drugs or other contraband – into the US, the more violence-prone the border has become, not only for border-crossers but also for law officers trying to halt the smuggling. The escalation in violent crime is most pronounced here in Arizona, where border-tightening measures have put a clamp on the preferred route of "coyotes" and smuggling rings.

      Operation Wetback: Illegal Immigration Myths

      Posted by ptristam from Pierre Tristam

      In 1954, Dwight Eisenhower approved “Operation Wetback,” a Stalinist-like raid, sweep and relocation program targeting illegal immigrants. The story, embroidered in myths of success, is catching the attention of immigration reactionaries for all the wrong reasons.

    • Gringos turn tide crossing border / Boomer retirees invading Mexico

      Posted by Billbar from SFGate.com

      Over the past decade, the State Department estimates that the number of Americans living in Mexico has soared from 200,000 to 1 million (or one-quarter of all U.S. expatriates). Remittances from the United States to Mexico have risen dramatically, from $9 billion to $14.5 billion in just two years. The gringo presence is largest (and brings the most significant geopolitical consequences) in Baja California. Indeed, Baja real estate Web sites ooze almost as much hyperbole as those devoted to stalking the phantom menace of illegal immigrants -- in a far more upbeat tone when it comes to the question of immigrant invasions.

      Mexican archeologists make major Aztec find

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

      Mexican archeologists have made the most significant Aztec find in decades, unearthing a 15th century altar and a huge stone slab at a ruined temple in the throbbing heart of Mexico City. The works were uncovered last weekend at the Aztec empire's main Templo Mayor temple, near the central Zocalo square, which was used for worship and human sacrifice.

    Mexico left names own "president"

    This could also emerge as a serious revolution in the making.

    3 Border police beheaded 3 weeks ago. Media doesn't cover story.

    there's another site covering this story called Plantek. But, they blame "the liberal media"...in spite of the fact that Fox and known conservative outlets also didn;t cover the story

    In Mexico, 2.5 Million Missing Votes Reappear

    Candidatos Presidenciales: Andr?Manuel L? Obrador: 36.51 % Felipe Calder?34.74 % Roberto Madrazo: 22.2 % Patricia Mercado: 2.71 % Roberto Campa: 0.94 % Margin: Obrador up by 1.79% Commentary: Manuel Camacho Solis of the Obrador campaign told reporters today that the IFE held back Calderon precincts until the very last, and that he expected the results to shift. A PAN spokesman accused the PRD of slowing down the counting in Calderon country. The PRD - although in the lead for the entire day - still insists it wants a full hand-count of all the votes. The PAN - although trailing all day - still opposes a full hand-count. Here is another indication of suspicious activity: the tallies for Madrazo, Mercado and Campa have remained the same ALL DAY. Even when Obrador's numbers began to shift, theirs did not. Spooky, eh? Meanwhile, if after watching a consistent result for the first 70 percent or so of the tallying, the public finds it suspicious that the tallies are suddenly shifting, watch for that pain and rage to explode very, very shortly.

    In Mexico, 2.5 Million Missing Votes Reappear

    IFE employee Loar Cibac Pereira S?hez in one of the electoral agency's regional offices (in Saltillo, Coahuila) confirms that on Sunday night, as he was entering election results into the IFE PREP system computers, his boss, Jos?uis Fern?ez Mier, "ordered him to enter the vote tallies favorable to Calderon Hinajosa and threatened to transfer him to a rural office if he didn't obey." "The young man said that a strange blackout occured in the district IFE office, and when the light returned the results in the computer had changed and the PAN was then in the lead. He also said that when he was leaving alone he found some garbage cans outside the building with blank precinct and computer forms."

    IFE were caught red-handed in a big lie: their knowingly false claim that the preliminary results system had tabulated %u201C98.5 percent%u201D of the vote when, in fact, the IFE had hidden 3.3 million (more than seven percent) of the precinct tallies from public view.
