The Man From El Chuco: Border Scarface – (interesting read)

It’s easy to sympathize with the Mexican mayors who don’t want their streets overrun with newly arrived evil doers. If Brian De Palma’s “Scarface” has taught us anything, it’s that Latino gangsters are all cocaine-fueled psychopaths with bad Cuban accents that nobody wants in their town. But where does that leave me as a liberal columnist and illegal alien apologist?

It’s tough, let me tell you. If only I could figure out what’s going on …

What could be compelling these mayors to say criminal immigrants are a problem? What would take them to their nation’s capital to complain about how these people are a drain on their city’s resources? What reason could these keepers of the public trust possibly have, that would force them to make such incendiary statements?

Ah yes, money. If the above paragraph sounds familiar to you it may be because you have heard similar arguments from government officials of this side of the border. Be it Nashville, Tenn., or Tijuana, Baja California; Texas sheriffs or Mexican mayors. It all comes down to cash.”*
