The wages of "sanctuary."

Latino-Indigenous Mexican Divide Stirs California Town.

Plus, how an open border policy is such a humanitarian enterprise.

I guess this is one definition of "irony":
=When YOU do it to someone else, it's ok.
=When the exact same thing is done TO YOU, it's a bitch.

Further pondering ensues.

This is nothing new - fighting between Mexicans of various backgrounds is a reflection of what goes on inside California prisons and jails. As California degenerates into a third-world extension of Mexico the prison lifestyle is becoming universal among the general population.

But the people who institute open-border policies always have the very BEST of intentions! They only want to give people a chence to enjoy our lifestyle.

Yup! Reckon I666 needed widening and resurfacing cause the left is providing plenty o' pavin' material for it.

Welcome to Nueva Kalifornia! This is one of the reasons my wife I and left the state. That airhead leftist police chief exemplifies the politically correct trend in California law enforcement which has been going on for thirty years. These immigrants, whether legal or illegal are no longer required to adopt our ways and obey our laws. Multiculturalism will be the downfall of this country. Kalifornia has proven that. Read CIVIL WAR TWO by Thomas Chittum.

As Dave at 6:10 said, this is nothing new. In fact, it was mentioned in the article that tensions among groups of more established immigrants with newer ones. Props to you Mike V, for linking an article that dispels the myth that americans of mexican heritage are universally pro-open borders and pro-blanket amnesty. thumbs up. One thing I heard from some folks that I know from El Paso that is kind of interesting is that rather than your traditional flow of poorer and working class mexicans across the rio grande coming to do unskilled or skilled blue collar work, now because of the cartel violence in juarez, you have a bunch of wealthy and upper middle class mexicans planting stakes in Texas to avoid the bedlam

The language in that piece wasn't clear at all, probably on purpose.

So who are the indigenous? The Mexicans who lived there before the Indians from Mexico showed up? White people? Indians who lived there before the Mexicans showed up? I couldn't follow it.

Look, just tell me who the Mexicans are and who the Indians are, which group is new, and who is behaving like a third world savage. Jeez. Is that so tough?

Just got done watching three actual, current New York state and New York City elected officials talk for about ten minutes about how "immigrant" communities would be afraid to talk to law enforcement if the state didn't opt out of some federal program asking non-federal law enforcement to detain "immigrants" for 48 hours until ICE can determine if they've got a criminal or violent past in order to be deported.

Nevermind that they broke the goddamn law to be there in the first place.

One even introduced legislation at the city-level to actually reduce the amount of communication between city law enforcement and the federal agents.

I find the conflation of running or swimming across a border illegally with what my parents had to do to get into this country legally to be supremely offensive.

Curiously, one thing that kept coming up was that state and local law enforcement shouldn't be asked to act as federal agents, enforcing federal law. Yet this rhetoric doesn't fly when it comes to, say, my Constitutionally acknowledged human right to keep and bare arms. Clearly the police then should do something! Think of the children!

How these New York assholes dare to tell the rest of us how to live is beyond a joke. They can flaunt all the federal laws they want, opt out of what they want, but any of the rest of us plebes, with our non-federalizable militias and firearm freedom acts? We can die in a fire.

These people are not my countrymen. They are even less my countrymen than the illegals they defend.
