Esteemed Consul General of Mexico,

In your opening of the Symposium on Mexican Immigration to the
U.S.Southeast, at Kennesaw State University, you declared that the
dating of its scheduled commencement, the "Cinco de Mayo" (Fifth of
May), was "merely coincidental."

As it was: On the Cinco de Mayo, near the conclusion of the
Symposium's keynote presentation on "the economic benefits nearly
exclusive only to the U.S.'s retail economy segment by Latin America's
'immigrants', and, particularly since George W. Bush's ascendancy to
the U.S. presidency, Mexico's massively accelerating numbers of
'immigrants' to the U.S.A.," the keynote speaker himself posed: "Why
is this happening?" "This force?" "This power of the labor force
entry?"

During the ensuing (the Symposium's first) question-and-answer
session, and after the keynoter's (rehearsed?) responses to:

1) The planted and blatant appeal to (or better said: extortion of)
even Americans' senses of both guilt and generosity, "Do the
immigrants lead in the retail purchases of diapers, baby food, baby
formula, baby bottles and medicine?" (see below) and...

2) The planted question "Are the immigrants displacing American
workers?" (see also below), I introduced myself as having "lived in
Mexico, in part, as an ESL instructor for twenty-three years"* and
responded to the keynoter's original questions by asking of the
keynote speaker himself:

(* For both Work History and Commendation from the Offices of the
Secretary of Mexico go to www.geocities.com/venture-out.geo/Rez)

1) "Have you ever considered 'this power of the labor force entry',
occurring especially now, to be a culmination of not only George W.
Bush's granting of amnesty for Mexican illegals now in the
U.S.A.---and their extended family members who have yet to arrive, and
are indeed arriving---but also the deliberate engagement of a, now,
twenty-three year succession of Mexico's central governments in the
very instruction of its citizenry in the customized-cover edition of
'Follow Me to America' (reputedly owned by Televisa/Univision)?"

Upon which your own compatriot and co-functionary in Mexican
government (more below) interjected her declaration to all (of "Follow
Me To America"): "It's Cuban!"

2) "It's cover illustrating a young Mexican male and young Mexican
female upon an illustrated map of Central America and Mexico
backpacking from Mexico to the Rio Grande, the U.S. flag and the
U.S.A. illustrated just beyond?"

To which your same compatriot and co-functionary in Mexican government
soon interjected declaring (of the "customized-cover edition of Follow
Me To America"): "It's pirated!"

3) "Its step-by-step, illustrated chapters and volumes instructing and
motivating, only for example, the 'regularizing' (getting-into-order)
of one's own papers in the appropriate offices of the Mexican
government, the application for any visa at any U.S. consulate in
Mexico, the first encounter, at the U.S./Mexican border, with U.S.
Immigration, how to get work, how to remit to Mexico U.S. dollars
which are frozen in Mexico, the application for free social and
medical services---application for even U.S. citizenship---and, once
obtained the maintaining of contact with their stateside Consular
Offices (and like Latin American Organizations indexed) for their
periodic bulletins on both: just which Hispanic candidates for
political office in the U.S.A. (and, despite the sudden, disapproving
din by the Hispanics present at the Symposium) they should caste their
vote, and, of course, continuing remittances?"

4)"In sum, its very instruction which, in fact, instructs Mexico's own
citizens in their very own exportation as:

A) not only cheap labor for the continuing 'capture' of cash U.S
dollars, remitted to Mexico---but doled-out in pesos in Mexico---for
the, then, exclusive receipt and profit of the ruling
politico-entrepreneurs of Mexico's central government,

B) but also a both loyal and even controlled constituency of the
ruling politico-entrepreneurs of Mexico's central government (as
contrived as it) within the U.S.A.'s very own electorate that the even
now exploding numbers of emigres, as even seasonal---even
dual---citizens, would then become, and are indeed becoming?"

(Upon which, and through both the now nearly deafening din and
keynoter's own, repeated response,"I'm not familiar with that
[instruction]...," you interjected, declaring to all, and vehemently
to me:

"The Mexican government is not in the business of exporting labor!"

(**According to its distributor in Coral Gables, Florida, to date,
100,000 volume sets of 'Follow Me to America's' so-called "Cuban"
edition, [go to: www.followmetoamerica.com], again reputedly owned by
Televisa/Univision, as opposed to the additional customized-cover, or
so-called "pirated," edition, have, over the years, been circulated in
Latin America.)

Please know, in hindsight, I do appreciate your sensitivity expressed,
given particularly:

1) the very history of Mexico's encounter by slavers exploring from
Cuba,

2) the very prolonged history of Mexico's ruling
politico-entrepreneurs in the very export and sale, to as late as the
1850's, if not beyond, of especially their most recalcitrant surplus
of slave laborers (ie:Yaquis, Zapotecs and Maya) to Cuba,

3) the very position still of Mexico City's propagandists that,
nonetheless since 1832, nearly only the "WASPs" of the north continued
to enslave anyone, and thus, in part, how Mexico proclaims itself
since, at home and abroad, to be both: the still righteous heir to the
territorial claims of even Old Spain, and ultimate protector (and
thus a greater ally) of even 'people of color', including (and
especially now) the 'people of color' of the U.S.A.,

4) the, nonetheless, on-going history, since 1832 and prior, of the
enforced and brutal servitude of Mexico's vast majority---at
home---including and especially 'people of color', as managed by
Mexico's ultimate 'padrons', the ruling politico-entrepreneurs that is
Mexico's central government, as being anything much different even
now as at any time during Mexico's long history,

5) the, now, especially strenuous revival, since at least 1981
(described below), of the still brutal exportation of especially young
Mexicans, including and especially Mexico's 'people of color', as
cheap laborers, not merely at home, but also abroad including, perhaps
to your own misgivings, their even continued management and
instruction---even in the U.S.A.---by especially, but not only, your
own Consul General Offices of Mexico's central government.

As it is: In the course of maintaining and even enhancing the
management and control of (even "immigrant") Mexicans abroad, Mexico's
central government makes no attempt to have it occur (when it does
not): to their own sycophants at home, to their quislings stateside,
either homegrown or co-Hispanic, Hispanic allies stateside
(particularly Miami's Cuban so-called pro-activists) and to especially
its North American apologists---much less to the exported laborers
themselves---just what the role of Mexico's central government truly
is.

For especially North American apologists, to, wittingly or not, or
inadvertently or not, provide even moral support to that government,
much less argue in support of that government's endeavors, not only
aids it in its trafficking, however veiled, of especially Mexico's
youth as cheap labor but also abets Mexico's central government in its
cognizant and deliberate attack, as even so clearly embedded in its
instruction of "Follow Me to America," since at least 1981, on the
very political and even territorial integrity of the U.S.A..

In fact, Mexico's central government instead employs whatever
arcaness, ingenuousness and worse, much less mere abuse of
hospitality, to foment, instruct and even reward whatever (even)
unwittingness to maintain and enhance the personal incomes of that
government's ruling politico-entrepreneurs; while it certainly does
not, and will never, kill the goose that is laying the golden egg.

Rest assured, Mexico's central government will never provide any even
clue to especially those North American apologists so opportunely
vulnerable by their own equally naive allegiance to especially the
identity politics of 'political correctness', any more than they will
ever provide even any charity for Mexicans in Mexico, much less any
relief, from their own brutal and even institutionalized oppressions
of Mexicans in Mexico.

It is after all precisely those masses who must then (as instructed)
seek relief--even seasonally---elsewhere: "to America." And there, to
the even far greater profit of their homeland's ruling politico-
entrepreneurs than their contributing to the "capture of U.S. dollars"
would be, and is, in even Cancun.

Rest even more assured that Juarez, Morelos, Madera, Zapata, Cardenas,
Pat, Canek* and even Villa would no more approve such---even
wanton---trafficking of their fellows any more than even Payne,
Franklin, Jefferson, the Adams, Madison, Monroe, Lincoln, Turner,
Carver and even Polk would approve the trafficking of their own (much
less Mart).

(* After the abandonment of Mayan conscripts at the battle of San
Jancito by Mexico City's Santana, and after those conscripts having
walked from Texas to the Yucatan, to then become most vulnerable to
their sale as slave-laborers to Cuba, Pat and Canek in fact instigated
the 'War of the Castes' to expel the 'Ladinos', along with their
'padrons', from their Mayan homeland.

Nearly concurrent, the war exceeded the convulsion of the U.S.A.'s own
Civil War. Being 'racial' ["caste"], however, its atrocities were both
far worse and so numerous that no engagement concluded without one. It
was during the beginning of this war that the 'Ladinos' of the
Yucatan [itself in the same state of secession from Mexico City's
eternal tribute collectors and their agents, as was Texas and some 80%
of Mexico] that, in lieu of Mexico City, for years Yucatan's
'Ladinos' lobbied Washington to annex the Yucatan to the U.S.A. and,
just as continually, had their lobbying, no matter how persisting,
rejected.

The war itself resulted in a draw with the pre-colonized western half
of the Yucatan peninsula being left to the control of Yucatan's
'Ladinos' while the never-colonized eastern half, today's Mexican
State of Quintana Roo, was left to its original Mayan owners and the
Mayan refugees of the west.

Despite the relatively only recent, but state-sponsored and
overwhelming, export of Mexican day-laborers, principally as
construction workers and landscapers, and Mexican homesteaders, as
[even trans] emigrs, to what is today Cancun and its adjacent zone,
and its consequent annexation, in 1974, by Mexico's central government
as, respectively, Mexico's Municipality of Benito Juarez and Mexico's
State of Quintana Roo, large remnants of the Caste War's [and even
more ancient] Yucatec Mayan army, 'people of color', still remain
bivouacked in central Quintana Roo even more vigilant than ever of
Mexico's incursions.)

Nonetheless, immediately following the sudden adjournment of that
first question-and-answer session by your heated declaration that "the
Mexican government is not in the business of exporting labor," but
despite your ensuing attempts to simply exonerate Mexico's central
government from even consideration of any wrongdoing, I was (to the
surprise of all except herself) as immediately enabled, by the added
interjections of your very own compatriot and fellow functionary in
Mexican government,* to exact your subsequent declaration to not only
"investigate the instruction of the past twenty-three years, in
Mexico, of the (so-called) ESL course: 'Follow Me to America'"* but
also "what remedy can and should now be rendered."

(* SECTUR, when having offices until twenty-two years ago in Atlanta,
and FONATUR, since then and until at least most recently in its
offices in Cancun.)

Your promise also included your "investigation of the stipulation of a
succession of Mexico's federal Secretaries of Education (as both
witnessed and described by me) in the very licenses for public,
private and even hotel ESL schooling in especially Cancun, Mexico
('and thus their permissions to even operate as schools or hotels')
being 'explicit' on the 'exclusive' instruction of not simply the
so-called 'Cuban' volumes of 'Follow Me to America' but instead its
customized-cover, or so-called 'pirated' (again see below), volumes as
the only text and course work for ESL in Cancun, Mexico, its environs*
and elsewhere in Mexico (even to such levels as the 'Autonomous
Universities of Campeche and Aquascalientes' and even such newer
vacation-destinations as Hualtulco) for even as long as the same
twenty-three years that I lived in Cancun and environs as, in part, an
ESL instructor." *

(*For both Work History and Commendation from the Offices of Mexico's
Secretary of Tourism: Go to
http://www.geocities.com/venture-out.geo/Rez)

For the benefit of those cc'd: Cancun itself was planned by Mexico's
central government via particularly its offices of FONATUR to best
focus on and even refine Cancun's nearly only reason for being as best
declared, upon the 'pioneer city's inauguration in 1974, by Mexico's
then Secretary of Tourism, and as quoted by National Geographic:"the
capture of dollars."

To FONATUR, the construction of the 'pioneer' city's [Cancun's]
infrastructure was assigned.

To FONATUR, then, the success of both the managed exportation of
Mexican day- laborers, the managed emigration of Mexican homesteaders
and, thus, managed appropriation of what became Mexico's Municipality
of Benito Juarez [Cancun] and Mexico's State of Quintana Roo, in
1974, most originally depended.

To FONATUR, the successful expelling [even at gun point*] from
Quintana Roo's Caribbean coast of all Maya, and even all Mexican
homesteaders from their previously sanctioned claims on Quintana
Roo's Caribbean coast, and later the full 'privatization' of all
Federal properties, State and National parks (including Mayan ruin
sites) within the whole of Quintana Roo, also most originally
depended.

(* See 'Pablo's Plight' within '4 Writing Samples'.txt at
www.geocities.com/venture-out.geo/Rez)

To FONATUR, the very success of future exporting and emigrating of,
especially now very practiced, Mexicans also most originally depended;
and thus its now stateside counterpart, and Mexico's Consul General
Office's co-functionary: 'Instituto de Mexico.'

Though the founding of Cancun, as a model vacation-destination, was
hyped publicly as a source of needed income to remedy Mexico's gross
indebtedness, by 1980 the "capture of [cash U.S.] dollars," via
especially Cancun's still infant tourism, amounted to, according to
the CIA's own published report, [only] four to seven billion in U.S.
dollars to Mexico's then departing, so-called president Lopez
Portillo.

Thus, in part, the Summit for Economic Development of the Western
Hemisphere of 1981 in Cancun, attended by Presidents Reagan, de la
Madrid, most of Latin America's heads- of-state, a few from Europe and
even elsewhere.

Surely to them, the potential for income of the still infant model for
development stood as unavoidable and as dazzling as Cancun itself even
then especially appeared.

Cancun thus became the, at least, most apparent long-term enabler for
Mexico's central government to acquire a new income to mount a
supposed pay-back on its massive, but defaulting, loans; while the
very obvious cost/infrastructure ratios achieved by the very
exportation of nearly non-compensated* day-laborers from Mexico to
Cancun must have been at least as dazzling.**

(* The peso equivalent of $4US/14 hour work day + daily ration of
black beans and chalk tortillas which, in fact, comprised at the time
a $1/day increase compared to, in practice, the binding minimum wage
still current for most of Mexico.)

(** By the time of Reagan's arrival to Cancun's then concessioned
'Sheraton One' [concessioned 'Sheraton Two', next door, was still to
be constructed], hundreds of such exported day-laborers were sleeping
on Cancun's kilometers of then nearly empty beach between that hotel
and Casa Maya, where de la Madrid stayed.)

Given Reagan's subsequent, and first, amnesty of illegal Mexicans in
the U.S.A.(as a gesture of intent?): It is not unreasonable to
consider most seriously that, in lieu of partial, if not whole,
pay-back on the massive loans to Mexico's central government even then
in default, plus oil concessions, the export of cheap labor for the
ultimate profit of Mexico's ruling politico-entrepreneurs* must have
then been seeded within the Summit itself if only by Mexico's central
government. If so, the Summit's North American attendees must have
then perceived the receipt of cheap labor, to an even ultimate profit
to Mexico's central government, via the remittances in U.S. dollars of
their exportees, but doled-out in Mexico in Mexican pesos, far
superior to: additional, and otherwise woefully unsecured, bail-outs
of the future, the, as usual, subsequent defaults, and the otherwise
absolute zero return on dollars loaned.

"Send me your poor" says the Statue of Liberty "yearning to be free"
---of such strings?

Thus such refinements consequent as, essentially, George H. Bush's and
Salinas de Gortari's GATT agreements and, later, as even
institutionalized by, essentially, their developing and, still later,
finalized NAFTA agreement.

So refined, that even before NAFTA's ratification, Mexico's central
government's business of emigration was already put into practice
when, in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, workers from especially
Quintana Roo were negotiated in Miami, mobilized in Cancun and sent to
Florida, under the supervision of even plainclothes Federalis, as
foremen, by the then-Secretary of Tourism of Mexico and
former-Governor of Quintana Roo.

(* U.S. policy toward its bordering neighbor had always been most
susceptible to their guarantees, no matter how even transparently
extortive, to keep Mexico's population from literally exploding over
the evermore debilitating state of Mexico's truly medeaval system,
and, in this case, corresponding economy to prevent the very break-out
of Mexico's citizens from Mexico City's grasp that has, ironically,
been occurring since---though, as evident as it is, the U.S.A. is no
longer beyond Mexico City's grasp.)

In any event, soon after the Summit's conclusion (if not before), it
was not the mandate of Mexico's central government to impose an ESL
course that could even remotely be entitled: "Follow Me to A Better
Mexico," for Cancun's rapidly growing population of emigres, rather
than: "Follow Me to America."

Rather than instructing Spanish-speaking airport, hotel transfer,
hotel, touring and restaurant personnel in such English as would be
required for even the, at least there, optimum "capture of dollars" in
Cancun from nearly exclusively English-speaking tourists, a larger
project was already targeted.

Whether Cancunesques---permanent or seasonal---even, unconsciously or
not, liked it or not (and most did not and do not), too many were, and
remain, destined for a greater prize. From day-one, Cancun was
essentially the training ground for Cancun's rapidly growing
population of day-laborers and emigres for export---and their extended
families who had yet to arrive---for their yet greater exportation and
emigration elsewhere: "to America."

Even then, during the conclusion of the Summit, and while that Summit
was even then generating much needed publicity for Cancun, plus U.S.
and international, investment in future concessions for hotel
operations in Cancun (to, in fact, propel Cancun from "Phase One," of
its planned three phase development, to "Phase Two"), and, later,
while Cancunesques learned the contrived English instructed, and
practiced it among the incoming tourists to not only "capture" their
dollars but also establish future contacts for immigration sponsorship
in the U.S.A., private U.S. citizens (especially from the U.S.
Southeast) who comprised the greatest number of purchasers of
condominiums in Cancun's then largest, truly massive, "Phase One"
project, 'Las Dunas', were already being defrauded by Mexico's central
government.

The grossly malconstructed 'Las Dunas' was appropriated from its
foreign, Spanish, developer, by Mexico's central government without
recompense to the purchasers and awarded purportedly to the project's
labor union of construction workers claiming its members had not been
paid.

Though the U.S. purchasers later addressed the U.S. Congress itself to
seek recompense, neither the purchasers or U.S. Congress seemed to
realize that Mexico's central government, then fancying itself to be
socialist, controlled, and still controls, via the indirect licensing
of union membership, Mexico's labor unions.

Nonetheless, the ability of Mexico's central government to both
marshal emigrating homesteaders and mobilizing exported labor was
impressive enough that the "hundreds of exported laborers sleeping on
the kilometers of nearly empty beach" of Phase One would become the
thousands of Phase Two (and eventually beyond).

While the accumulating masses of---even temporary and even
seasonal---Mexican transmigrants to Quintana Roo were meeting
especially U.S. and Canadian tourists for even future relationships,
Cancun's "capture of dollars" became so successful that reportedly*
some fifty-four billion in U.S. dollars was successfully removed from
Mexico during Salinas de Gortari's last months in office.

(* Mexico's own news medias aired the Mexican Army making bonfires,
along the aprons of Mexico's airports, of the editions of Spain's
leading news magazine, which had stated the figure and were being
delivered for distribution within Mexico. The Mexican Army explained
the figure to be an "insult to Mexico." Nonetheless, even after his
supposed exile, Gortari continued, as always, looking forward to being
designated the President of the World Bank.)

So anticipated was the lucre of success for Cancun's founding that the
founding itself, as partially described, depended, first, on the
managed and (this time) overwhelming emigration of Mexicans, in this
case, to what is now Cancun and Mexico's now State of Quintana Roo;
and, thus, such incentives that were offered as
free-land-for-the-taking (from the Maya).

According to "Follow Me to America" the even illustrated incentives
are now free-social-and-medical-services-for-the-taking (from the
Gringos) and, as briefly described, more---much more.

The "capture" of the hard-cash U.S. dollars in Cancun for Mexico's
ruling politico-entrepreneurs became in fact so focused and controlled
during especially Phase Two of Cancun, that, according also to
National Geographic, "90% of all U.S. cash dollars arriving to Mexico,
arrived via Cancun."

Indeed, the absolute control enforced was, and remains, so
all-pervasive and, to avoid recrimination, irresistible that no
tourist transaction can be excluded from the "capture": from the sale
of a souvenir sombrero to especially cash-dollar laden 'gringos' at
grossly exorbitant, even fixed, 'minimum' prices, to exchange of pesos
for dollars (even in change) to even the impossibility of buying U.S.
dollars much less transferring U.S. dollars, however obtained by
anyone for any transaction or even emergency, to anywhere outside (or
even inside) Mexico.

After Mexico's long succession of massive and mandated peso
devaluations---all as always predictable as the defaults on previous
bail-out loans and the inevitable greed of departing so-called
presidents---by 1988 no bank anywhere outside of Mexico could, and
thus would, accept Mexican pesos as payment for dollars owed much
less accept pesos wired, deposited, dropped out of the sky or whatever
for any reason much less in any exchange for U.S. dollars. Enough,
especially U.S. banks, were already glutted with huge amounts of
severely devalued pesos.

Even prior to 1988, for the vast majority: the amount of even scant
pesos, from eternally scant incomes or, if existent, savings, required
to purchase U.S dollars on even the streets of Mexico was so even more
prohibitive that if anyone in Mexico would send any U.S.
dollars---much less any money---to anywhere outside of Mexico nearly,
no one in Mexico could.

To minimize both the time and expense of the "capture" itself,
tourists were deliberately limited in precisely where they could
range.The very to-where and with-whom U.S. dollar-laden tourists to
Cancun could transfer between Cancun's airport and hotels. Even
touring nearby was strictly enforced. Any printer publishing even such
information as innocuous as the routing and scheduling of public buses
and ferries would find his paper supply, controlled by Mexico's
central government, cut-off.

Coming or going, Cancun's visitors [and thus their money] were
themselves---much less their captors---"captured;" and, in all of U.S.
media, only an editorial in U.S.A. Today's Travel Section, in part,
panned Cancun for it---much less recognized it.

Given the nearly total transformation of Cancun's hotels, since Phase
Two, to such all-inclusive resorts that even Mexicans are now
prohibited from passing along their national property that is
Cancun's beaches, the limitations for the "capture" is, today, even
worse.

The populations of Cancun, its environs and indeed all of Mexico,
have, at least since 1981, become even more suppressed---than 'ever'
before---by the quest, even obsession, of Mexico's central government
in its "capture of dollars" while the citizens of the U.S.A. and
Canada, thanks especially to the GATT and subsequent NAFTA agreements,
honed especially in Cancun, will become, even as they have been
becoming, even more suppressed---than 'never' before---by, as
seemingly indirect as it is, Mexico's central government, if that
government is allowed to persist in even the continued
management---much less instruction---of the U.S.A.'s and, presumably,
Canada's own supposed "immigrants" especially in ESL and its embedded
Latin America's Civics and even Ethics, and worse, as opposed to
either the U.S.A.'s or Canada's Civics and Ethics.

If one might think that Mexico's present central government is shed
of, or is shedding itself of, the institutions of its nearly
totalitarian authority of the past to, in fact, democratize, and thus
better partner with U.S. and Canadian government in NAFTA, think
again. Mexico's central government has no need to emulate at least
past U.S. administrations given how the present U.S. administration
is---as always----so hungering for Mexico's oil and cheap labor and,
in fact, so doing its best to emulate Mexico's style and even
institutions for governance rather than our own.

As it is: Even the European Union denies partnership in the E.U. for
candidate nations which are even more democratic than Mexico ever was,
supposedly is becoming or ever will be just as the very purpose,
funding, management and behavior of the Symposium itself exemplified
to no end.

Toward the end of the third and last day of the Symposium at Emory
University, Fox's panel of academics actually advised the conferees of
academics "to maintain the status quo of Mexican and U.S. immigration
and relations, and its mutual benefits, it would be wise not to vote a
Democratic ticket in the upcoming U.S. elections." They then bewailed
how their studies could not explain "the lamentable loss [their
sacrifice] of especially Mexico's youth to the U.S.A.."

I flatly asked:

1) "How can you make such a statement of 'loss' when your government
actually provides---for the past twenty-three years---an even
step-by-step, illustrated, voluminous manual on just how to beat, not
the Mexican system, but instead emigrate and beat the U.S.'s system by
an even customized-cover edition* of 'Follow Me to America'?"

2) "Would the present Mexican government even begin to alleviate the
oppressions of Mexicans in Mexico that so fuels their massive
emigrations by illegalizing even its 'tribute system?'"

3) "Would you even allow Mexicans in Mexico receive the remittances in
the U.S. dollars sent?"

Stunned as they were, Fox's panel of academics (the very same who
routinely deal with Bush and Crew, and even the U.N, on immigration
issues, first depended on the question being censored which was
attempted by "proudly pro-active" Emory's moderator.

After three days of believing, among even so large a crowd, that I was
alone, another conferee insisted of the moderator to allow the
question.

Stunned even further by the failure of the censure, a panelist did
respond with an answer exceeding the usual deliberate babble of
Mexico's politico-entrepreneurs and even forgetting to conclude with
the only extortions usually intelligible, as: "The seasonal migrants
are smarter than America's country people (rednecks)." Or, "But what
should I know, I'm just a Mexican?" Etc.

Upon his completion, I did protest that he had not answered the
question. Again, someone came to my rescue with a similar question
provoking, however, the panel's sudden need to "go to the airport" and
Emory's moderator then acceding to an as sudden adjournment of the
Symposium's---final--- question-and-answer session.

As it is, on every level, anywhere, the initiatives by especially
Mexico's central government for 'winning' any monies captured against
any monies escaped, in especially the quest of "dollars"---and the
political leverage required to enhance that quest---it would
especially be the Cincos de Mayos when, certainly, the grandest
schemes for net gains 'to win' are launched and the tallies of the
grandest schemes for net gains 'won' are both most commemorated.

As it is: you promised to "investigate" not necessarily the
instruction of the one edition of the ESL course, or so-called "Cuban"
edition, but especially it's other (customized) edition, or (so-
called) "pirated" edition* but, for at least the past twenty-three
years, obtainable, by the general public, upon enrollment only in the
schooling described.

To date, however---the 4th of July---there has, nevertheless, been no
report as to the initiation or progress of your promised
"investigation."

Will you make such report now?

For your convenience, and those to whom I have shared this
communication, your emailed reply of this message to me will also
reach many, though not all, of the academics present at the Symposium
plus numerous news medias, local and national authorities and the
interest groups cc'd.

Given the lack of "report" to even this late date, it would now also
be of utmost concern to all, including yourself and panel from Mexico,
to now respond to not only how the Mexican government will now remedy
the long instruction of 'Follow Me To America' but also now
investigate and report on:

1) The continuing and similar so-called ESL instruction to not merely
the employees of the Mexican Consulate of Mexico but also the general
population of Mexicans in or accessible to Atlanta, both legal and
illegal, upon the premises of the Mexican Consulate in Atlanta itself.

2) The incursion of such instruction into the parochial classroom
space of, at least, Atlanta's Catholic Archdiocese via the
'Faith-Based Funding' of the current Bush administration, but with the
most discriminatory stipulations authored by Mexico*, for not merely
the expansion of such instruction but also for the partial or total
alternative of classroom space to relieve the, now, Mexican
Consulate's long overflowing classrooms.

3) The incursion of Policia Judiciales (from Mexico?) into, at least,
the law departments of Atlanta's Latin-American Association for the
protection of, at least, such criminal and violent activities as the
trafficking and inducement of multitudes of especially young women
from Central America for the enterprise of prostitution in, at least,
Atlanta.

4) The incursions of Mexican Federalis posing as foremen, of
especially illegal, seasonal work-gangs traveling the U.S.A. in
pursuit of work projects in especially construction and landscaping,
for the management of not only their working-companions but also their
U.S. employers when instructing the workers and their U.S. employers
to counter any perceived (even mistaken) threats of being reported,
respectively to either U.S. Immigration or U.S. Labor Boards, by even
displaced American workers, with either the foremens' or employers'
threat to report the Americans to non-other than the Mexican Consulate
itself.

5) The incursions of Mexican owned businesses, such as carpet and
flooring enterprises, in Atlanta, but directed from Mexico City,
which, in the course of so-called visits to make estimates, attempt to
instead evict residents, both legal to the U.S.A. and to their
residencies, from their residencies at the behest of unscrupulous
landlords.

6) The incursions of such instruction into the civil ---and even
security--- affairs of the U.S.A. to even deliberately foster such
racially motivated and divisivly intended law suits as filed and
announced by a recent emigre from Mexico to Atlanta, and, according to
local Atlanta news, initiated on the Cinco de Mayo, against Atlanta's
Intown Suites not for the behest of even Mexicans abroad but instead,
as the suer proclaimed, "as an individual who cannot stand idly by
while people of color" (in this case) "Arabs and Moslems" are
(supposedly) discriminated against by white (Americans)."

Since my description at the Symposium of how profit to the Mexican
government exceeding just money-wire transfer fees can be realized by
the collecting of U.S. dollars stateside, or, as long practiced at
least in Cancun, the debiting of stateside dollar accounts for
dole-outs of either in pesos in Mexico, according to CNN's Lou Dobbs,
Banamex (which was announced to be purchased by Citigroup in May,
2001) has now, as you must know, entered an agreement with Citigroup,
in the business of wiring transfers of dollars to Mexico for their
arrival in pesos.

Just another American,
