Reconquista, No! - Independencia, Si!

It won't do to review a movie I have not seen, nor will I see it, but here is an interesting review of the movie Machete.  It is controversial for themes and portrayals.  It sounds pretty objectionable overall, but the part of the review that lists eugenics-purposed charities as funders is quite interesting. The economic problems we are facing will go better for those who caused the problems if they can get blacks and hispanics to turn on each other, and fool hispanics into thinking violence will gain them anything in USA (or Mexico for that matter.)  Both political parties are ready, willing and able to unleash unspeakable violence on protesters and resisters.  Far uglier than what the reviewer has to say about the movie is the comments section.  Here hatred is being born faster and nastier than any mere movie starring DeNiro and Alba could foment.

The powers that be must have some idea that certain stories cannot be told, especially white-on-black violence.  In Seattle a white kid shot in the back and killed a black kid and the big story is how under-and-misreported the story, focussing on the victim, and his imagined threat and gang membership.  All nonsense.  But not just white on black, white on hispanic, as in a film of a pair of Seattle police officers, surrounded by dozens of others, stomping a kid face down on the ground.  The Fox station sat on the video a couple of months until the station freelancer finally released it himself. (The kid stomped, is named Monetti, but when racism is in play, Italian is close enough for police work.)

Instead of reducing taxes, eliminating stupid regulations, cutting back and largely going away, government and their beneficiaries in law, medicine, education, labor, religion, housing, food, entertainment, and why not, apparel...  are going to play the race card and cut costs and reduce excess productive capacity by fomenting racism and hatred.  That card is in play.

Of course, the free markets have a better way: property rights.  There are no real borders, but there is a USA and there are property owners.  The roads are privately owned, transportation is privately owned, schools and hospitals and hotels and apartments are privately owned.  Anyone with ticket can move across the border, and at the destination if they are welcome it is no business of the government.  if someone from Jalisco wants to work on a farm in Ohio, and a Ohio farmer wants to hire him, why should anyone else care?   It is between the farmer and the worker.  If you want to complain about welfare costs, go back and note I said hospitals are privately owned.  Let the Catholic Church have its hospitals back, and let them worry about sick immigrants, as they once did, before the bishops became welfare queens.  If welfare is a problem, get rid of welfare, not people.

If you are worried about crime, then arm yourself, and learn to shoot well.  May I recommend the this when the criminals are in your driveway, this when they are in your hallway, and this when they are in your bedroom?  If you fear for your safety, don't ask others to pay for yet others to make you feel secure.

Better yet, integrate with the world better, and find you have little to really fear, by becoming self-employed.  Places with high self-employment like Hong Kong and Switzerland, about the same population,  (places where unemployment is dropping) are prosperous and peaceful, and guns apparently do not matter, for Hong Kong citizens have next to none and next to everyone in Switzerland has an equalizer.

And finally, the idea of Reconquista is madness.  Why would Mexicans escaping from that socialist hell want to establish that here?  On the other hand, a third country, based on Jeffersonian free markets, that is independencia, makes sense.  Or at least a free market special economic zone, like Hong Kong, but her in USA.
