Why are people so surprised that advocates for illegal immigration wrote an anthem for themselves? As many Conservatives like myself have been pointing out this is an invasion. Any group that wants to sieze territory, change a nation’s borders, change a nation’s language and change a nation’s culture, are naturally going to have their own anthem. And they titled the piece “Nuestro Himno”, which is Spanish for “Our Anthem”. They did not name it “The Star Spangled Banner (in Spanish)“. Because it’s not the Star Spangled Banner. It’s their anthem! The invaders are only carrying out the normal course of actions taken, when a group wants to engage in their own brand of nationalism. For someone like myself, who grew up seeing folks pressing “Black Nationalism”, I’m not surprised by the actions of these advocates of illegal immigration. Nuts that want to separate or overtake America all use the same methods. (As I’ve pointed out before, these actions by neo-Mexicans are not at all like the Civil Rights movement for Blacks. These are the actions of a band of nuts.)

This latest stunt with what I call the North Mexican National Anthem even has some advocates for amnesty upset. Like US President George W. Bush. Even he had to say sing it in English. But that would be a problem. Because their anthem is not our anthem. They’ve changed lyrics and effectively changed the meaning of the song. Being from the Baltimore area, we grew up learning about Frances Scott Key and the events that inspired his creation of the lyrics to America’s National Anthem. The changed lyrics totally distort the meaning and the great-great grandson of Frances Scott Key even says the North Mexican National Anthem is no good! Check out this NPR report where they interview him. Of course since it’s an NPR report, they go very soft on this issue and even ask “what’s the big deal?”. As if Americans should take no offense.

You can compare the lyrics of their anthem and America’s anthem over at Freedom Folks. Those are the generally published lyrics, but Heidi over at Euphoric Reality has found some other lyrics, which include a chant with some other interesting words. Sorry illegals, we are not “brothers” and our laws should be respected. Which means you should go. You ain’t got to go home back to Mexico, but you need to get the heck out of here this country.

Howard Dean and the Demos are not against the North Mexican National Anthem at all. But here in Georgia, it seems that many people of Mexican heritage are speaking out against the North Mexican National Anthem. This is a response that should be noted! Here is a video report from Atlanta’s 11 Alive news. (The text version of the report with less details is here.) At a local culturally Mexican radio station, every caller spoke out against the song. They feel this is pushing things too far.

…
“They added something along the lines as we’re united, we’re here to be part of the country,” said Victor Martinez of local radio stations La Ley and Radio Mex. “All of our callers agreed it could be taken as an insult. That instead of helping the situation, it could actually make it worse. That the flag, and the country’s national anthem are sacred. You shouldn’t touch them. You shouldn’t change them.”
…

So lets give credit where credit is due. Some who might favor amnesty are actually seeing that they had better respect the symbols of America.

The Mayor of Los Angeles, California is going to avoid the protest marches in his city. I don’t think they picked May 1, which is a favorite for communists, by accident. It’s all intentional and the connections are very clear.

There was a good discussion about the North Mexican National Anthem on the BJ Ellis Show today. He had a discussion with a caller about it and I must say that she said what needs to be said.

update 5/1/2006 5:19PM Michelle Malkin has found an article that mentions US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has no problem with the North Mexican National Anthem. I guess she’s serious about not wanting to become President. Because she can’t have my vote if she’s going to try and cater to the pro-amnesty crowd.
