No, I'm not outraged over that fabricated headline. I am however outraged at the fact that 43 college students are missing in Mexico and the world remains silent. Apparently if it happen in Mexico, it didn't happen. The constant verbal attacks and denigrating falsehoods perpetrated against the Immigrant nowadays always classified as a "Mexican," has left Mexico and its people vulnerable to the most horrendous civil and human rights violations.
Mexico's own corruptly elected officials prance around arrogantly spending the people's money on prostitutes and opulence as they order those who dare to look at them crossed-eyed put to death. It is these lords of death that have ordered hundreds of thousands killed over the last several decades. Everywhere else in the world we challenge governments that allow the killing of their people. We right what's wrong! Why would we standby and watch our neighbor to the South self destruct when we have the ability to right the wrong?
The answer continues to be astoundingly clear to me. In an effort to ensure that the United States continues to have a constant influx of low skilled labor to meet our needs in a competitive global market, they have chosen to allow Mexico to continue being an undesirable place to live and a place you yearn to escape from to the closest possible haven, your neighbor to the North. Which is where you know that an unscrupulous employer using the very system set up for him to profit, will hire you at poverty level wages, and work you long hours in a hostile environment.
However, if you choose to stay and fight the corrupt government, you can count on absolutely zero support from foreign governments, international coalitions or human rights activists. One sector of the American community who is always active and very vocal in the United States is comprised of those outraged with the human devastation occurring in the Middle East. These diligent social site activists post pictures upon pictures of children's torn bodies and parent's screaming in agony. It's heart-wrenching for sure, leaves you with no other option other than to feel outrage and frustration. Ironically many of those expressing their outrage via visual screams and lengthy diatribe from the highest pinnacle of the social sites, are themselves of "Mexican" descent, and are oblivious or careless towards the carnage occurring just a few hundred miles from the comfort of their home.
Enough is enough! It's time for everyone to hold the Mexican government responsible for being part and parcel to the destruction of its own country and the annihilation of its people. This will require all Mexican citizens living abroad to raise their voices and demand changes utilizing connections within Mexico and their own financial influence to create change in Mexico. The U.S. government must get involved just as we have done in other countries to stop the atrocities occurring. It's clearly evident, the Mexican government has stolen the power from the people and are misfit wards of a country replete with natural resources that serves as a tourism magnet for the very American's who turn their back on what's really happening in Mexico.
By the way, had the 43 missing students who have been slaughtered by Mexican police and Federales at the beckoning of Mexican politicians who feared being embarrassed by the students, actually been from the Middle East as the title suggests, the savages would have all been brought to justice and measures would have been established to ensure it never happened again all at the insistence of the U.S. government and its so moral citizens who have utilized selective moral compasses depending on the region of the world.
