Greater Mexico Is Becoming A Reality
Reconquista, it's all just a myth right? Not according to this Study by the Institute of Mexicans Abroad (IME), part of Mexico s Ministry of Foreign Relations. Middle class Caucasian Mexicans of European decent, with dual citizenship by the hundreds of thousands have established themselves on both sides of the border. They consider themselves Mexicans with family in both countries, who freely move back and forth across a boundary that means next to nothing to them.
"What does it mean when white middle class Mexicans are establishing businesses and families on both sides of the border and moving with the same ease as someone who works in New York but lives in New Jersey?
What happens when the immigration debate is sidestepped by a new generation of dual citizens who can vote wherever they choose, and who are not bound to any single country?
And how will politicians on both sides of the border deal with the emergence of this perfect storm immigrations, birth rates and an entrepreneurial middle class giving rise to a Greater Mexico ?
Mexican Middle Class Fuels Ascendance of Greater Mexico
La Prensa San Diego
July 25, 2008
For a generation, Mexican intellectuals have pondered the possibility of a Greater Mexico the idea that Mexican immigration to the United States was so persistent and sustainable, that Mexican culture could re-settle lands lost to the United States at the conclusion of the Mexican American War. Americans, clinging to the belief of a melting pot, dismissed that notion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], arguing that Mexican immigrants would follow historical norms and assimilate into mainstream American life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as previous generations of newcomers did before them.
A new study by the Institute of Mexicans Abroad (IME),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], part of Mexico s Ministry of Foreign Relations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], offers insight that answers this lingering question. As Carlos Gonz lez y Guti rrez, IME s director,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], told Notimex, To our surprise and unease, we realize that Greater Mexico isn t on the other side of the moon, but that more and more it looks like us, and that has many consequences. The principle one is that this new situation reflects, to a good degree, our divisions of class, background, language,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ethnicity and educational attainment.
In other words,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is a perfect storm in which middle class ambition, immigration and higher birth rates among Hispanics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is changing the face of Mexicans in the United States. Whereas in the past the bulk of Mexicans entering the United States has come from the economically marginalized rural farmers, urban poor, under-educated and unemployed as part of NAFTA s unintended consequences,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mexican middle class professionals are now establishing themselves on both sides of the border. Hundreds of thousands of non-indigenous Mexicans, meaning Mexicans who are Caucasian and of European descent, are migrating to the United States; the idea of a Greater Mexico is becoming a reality.
Who are these middle class Mexicans with lives and families across the border?
They are people like the Caceres brothers, whose company designs and manufactures crystal chandeliers. Some are based in Merida; others are in Los Angeles. They see themselves as Mexicans who live in cities that accommodate minorities Maya speakers in Merida and English speakers in Los Angeles.
Others are like Enrique Norten, a well-known Mexican architect based in New York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose firm, TEN Arquitectos, has offices in both countries. I m from Mexico City, but I live in New York, Norten told the Cornell Daily Sun. My life is about architecture, not borders.
These Mexicans, with businesses and families on both sides of the border, give currency to the notion of an emerging Greater Mexico where the idea of a Brain Drain depleting Mexico of its entrepreneurial spirit and sense of innovation is turned on its head. Will there be a border in the future? Jose Luis Caceres, one of the Caceres adult children, rhetorically asked. For me, it doesn t matter, since I can go wherever I want.
That reality and attitude has caught Mexican officials by surprise. IME Director Carlos Gonz lez y Guti rrez calls these white middle class Mexicans in the United States Mexico s transforming agents, adding that, although they send many things that benefit us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they also send other things that harm us. But we are tied to each other.
And their numbers are increasing particularly since middle class Mexicans like the Caceres and Nortens have families in both countries - and their children are registered as dual citizens of the United States and Mexico. ??This is also a recent phenomenon for the United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and as a result, Hispanic growth is being fueled by birth rates and not by immigration. In all of the uproar over immigration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this is getting missed, Kenneth Johnson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], demographer at the University of New Hampshire s Carsey Institute told USA Today. All the focus is on immigration, immigration, immigration. At some point, it s not. It s natural increase (in Hispanics birth rates).
In post-Katrina New Orleans, for example, four out of five births are to Hispanics. Throughout Latin America the news media have celebrated the realization that New Orleans is now a Latin American city.
What does it mean when white middle class Mexicans are establishing businesses and families on both sides of the border and moving with the same ease as someone who works in New York but lives in New Jersey?
What happens when the immigration debate is sidestepped by a new generation of dual citizens who can vote wherever they choose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and who are not bound to any single country?
And how will politicians on both sides of the border deal with the emergence of this perfect storm immigrations, birth rates and an entrepreneurial middle class giving rise to a Greater Mexico ?
Don't think in terms of what is happening to our country today. Think in terms of what in will be like in 80 years. After the type of people (I'm talking about their sentiments not their skin color or ethnic origin) the article talks about increases by ten fold due to massive immigration and more importantly in the future, as the article mentions again, "higher birth rates among Hispanics". I think the article called it the "perfect storm". Funny thing is, they keep telling us it's a myth. I'm not laughing.
