WILDERNESS VOICE: 2.“We The Other People” are not “MIGRANT GRUNTS”

 


2. “We The Other People” are not “MIGRANT GRUNTS”

Has anyone stopped to wonder why the present issue of immigration is single focused on “Brown?” If it’s realistically about weeding out illegal residents and criminal elements; why are members from Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Africa not being rounded up? Hasn’t the Italian Mob been allegedly dismantled and replaced by those stemming from all over (Russia, Japan, and Jamaica etc.)? Face it and let the truth be told: Had the Cosa Nostra been left alone they would have done a better, tax-free job of protecting our ports and borders than the feds. So yes! There is more in play than meets the eye!

For starters, Venezuela. If it’s about drug trafficking, what about Columbia and its surrounding cohorts in Central America? If it’s just about American business pirating foreign oil, why so focused on hindering its exports to places considered threats to America’s future (e.g. China and Cuba)? Consider how unlike America flexing military muscle, China has long been successfully investing in building Venezuela’s infrastructure without imposing political agendas. As for Cuba, who regardless of enduring U.S. embargos (and other recent forms of economic strangle holds e.g. tourism), has simply offered medical, technical and educational supports throughout South/Central America and the Carabeens (e.g. Haiti, a long-standing victim of American meddling)? Point! To better understand present immigration issues, some historic examination is worthwhile! And let’s be clear, this has everything to do with American Business Practices, not American citizen concerns.

Keeping the Monroe Doctrine in mind, consider: The Spanish American War (part of getting rid of European participation in the western hemisphere), the Treaty of Paris (giving America options to acquisition or annex Puerto Rico and Guam (as strategic military outposts), Cuba (where major business investors sought to keep it out of government monitoring), and The Philippines (the only island to fight and eventually become an independent nation). Adding Haiti (with poor) and Santo Domingo (with stronger) political and economic roots to the landscape, Brown and Black immigration has long been a politically well-insulated, Census monitored issue controlled by periodic open/close policy changes to satisfy MILITARY/ECONOMIC NEEDS and keeping The Monroe Doctrine’s intent intact. Thus, it seems to have been about letting defined seasonal low wage brown as GARBAGE IN when needed and, before becoming a threat to established standard trends, setting the GARBAGE OUT when done! And although “BLACK” is still an issue, let’s stay with what’s presently on the front line of ICE concerns: “Brown!”

The growing Latino population has become an issue of concern for traditional American ideology. While significantly contributing to the national workforce and economy, adding increased immigration from Latin America to previously controlled sources from Mexico and the Caribbean has sparked debates; accommodating job competition, supporting inherent strains on social services, absorbing its effects on ever changing cultural demographics, and politically threatening 25+ percent voter impact. Thus, increased expedient (but inappropriate) border security and immigration reform. But again, that’s an “American Business” not an “American Citizen” concern.  And there is a need to make that distinction!  We are all sojourning human immigrants allegedly seeking to live and let live not migrant mechanical automatons subjugated to the growing presence of artificial discretion.

As long as The Monroe Doctrine (with the help of The Teller Amendment, The Jones act, the present Save America proposition etc.), continues to linger in the shadows to be reinterpreted, supported and covertly applied; the Caribbeans, Mexico, Central and South America will continue to be viewed as satellites generating  disobedient clones subject to American disciplinary actions.  Brown needs to reconsider its position, its present focus, and the opportunity at hand: Claiming Constitutional Rights and considering Legal Class Action suits against varied forms of segregation and unrestricted exploitation. Could such a threat be the underlying issue of concern?

The Hurting Heart of Humanity -April issue

Image
  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

Voices in the wilderness - May Issue

Image
  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

What Did You Do - June issue

Image
  What did you Do Whether one believes and accepts it or not; we have been gifted, more so blessed with imbedded talents and skills to achieve and fulfill what many call some preordained destiny. Thus, we each have both the right, and the obligation, to coexist while pursuing that which would provide individual meaning and purpose. The very bible not only instructs us to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” but was referenced when this country’s founding fathers, asserting as self-evident, that all men are created equal, went on to coin the term “Inalienable Rights” to mean God given birthrights assuring “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” for all of earth’s inhabitants: Regardless of what legal guides man may seek to instill thereafter. So important “WAS” the thought that they went on to say, “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (as currently being witnessed), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish” what powers be and “institute a new gov...

Jan Article / 2021 - New Year, New Deal ?

Image
  Buffalo Latino Village Jan 2021article New Year, New Deal ?   Happy New Year! Its done! The ballots have been tallied, verified and announced. On January 20 th Biden enters as the new landlord and Trump exits as the delinquent tenant. But things seem far from over. Trump is not thinking of willfully vacating. So forget the drama and simply unleash the marshals with a court ordered eviction for negligence.  Like any of us, shouldn’t he be subject to arrest for trespassing. More so, shouldn’t his refusal to relinquish power be considered an act of mutiny : A crime punishable by death? But let’s wake up and face it; dominating the national discourse like no one before “Trump has been allowed to reshape the global office and shattered its century-old norms and traditions”. Fearing what’s supposedly waiting, he even seeks pardoning himself from any pending prosecutions. Funny how they call it an “ assault on the institutions of democracy ” without mention of “the...

The Jesus Factor :: Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass

Image
  The Jesus Factor  Humanities Map, Legend, And Compass  We’ve all heard of the light ! That enlightening knowledge and understanding of how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will converge to give humanity a second shot at a life full of harmonious coexistence free of growing pain and suffering. But the uncertainties of daily life have given rise to a fear of lacking tomorrows wants in ways that justify an unprecedented need for hording greed. Under such external pressures, it’s time to question: How much of that light (e.g. peace, love, and joy) is actually still in you?   Darkness is quickly spreading a blanket of worldwide despair ; humanities intended fruits (e.g. kindness, goodness, gentleness, forbearance and self-control) are becoming but mere shadows as we walk along the corridors between “Once Upon a Time” and “It Is what It Is.” Thus question: How deep is the darkness within you?   Seemingly overwhelmed, we fail to grasp the simplicity of common sense. ...
