PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JUNE 1, 1984
PAGE 11
Developing the Mexican economy? Yes, that certainly is the an­
swer (not to speak of population control and national responsibi­
lity on Mexico's part), but the fact is that Mexico is in a stage
of economic collapse. Just to stay where it is now in the next 10
years would be an extraordinary development. Meanwhile, by the
year 2000 its wildly uncontrolled and splintering population will
go from 60 to 120 million--up from 60 million today.
� United States has about five years left before the population
imbalance in the entire Southwest will be so tilted toward the
illegal alTens that there will be no possibTlity of passing any
legislat1on at all.•. • Within 20 years, this illegal community
will begin organizing politically, demanding rights
even
as they
refuse to become citizens.
(Mexicans have the lowest rate of
naturalization of any ethnic group; they look at the Southwest as
still part of Mexico.) They will be led J:2y self-styled caudillos
and gangs. The rule of law will pass with the idea of American
citizenship. If the Marxist civil wars in Central America are
not contained, we will see a hemorrhage of Central Americans,
many of them carrying with them extremist, Marxist and irreden­
tist ideologies.
Meanwhile, the United States is paralyzed, divided between the
greedy right of the big ranchers who like the cheap labor, and
the foolish left of the Harts, who believe in a utopian border­
less world where everyone 1ives as brothers. • •. Is it not odd
that the candidates •..have obviously not read any history books
and found what happens to countries that lose--or in this case,
throw away--their core ethic?
One wonders indeed about the passage in Lamentations 5:1-2--"Remember, O
Lord, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach! Our inheritance
has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners" (RAV).
