I saw this title in my rss reader:
Sometimes The Border Crosses You
Yes another
Counterpunch article in which the author apparently hasn't sat down and actually critically analyzed his or her own work before posting it (something that is unfortunately becoming increasingly common at Counterpunch). Of course anyone paying attention would think this would be about Mexico, the Treaty of Guadelupe Hildago. But watch the hands!!
According the Washington Post, Texas Governor Rick Perry “reportedly plans to dispatch the Texas National Guard to the U.S. border with Mexico” to deal with “the continued surge of young immigrants, most of them from Central America, crossing the border.”
Oh I KNOW! Let's see a Republican, Mexican border and soldiers!! Border!
Oh wait. Central America. Where have the recent waves been coming from? Oh Right, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala. Countries that have shit to do with "the border that crosses you", that could ONLY be relevant for Mexican nationals.
Oh I know what Mickey Z wants. Anywhere that is not the US is Mexico. No? Maybe if Rick Perry put soldiers in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras it would make more sense. Occupy those countries!!!
No?
Then Mickey Z should rescind his "lesson" in history and familiarize himself with a map. I swear! Sometimes I think these folks are so isolated from critical thought that they believe their own feces is golden and scentless.
