Dear Friends:
Expect increased hostilities between the US and Mexico due to: the “illegal immigrant” issue which is pitting individual US states (on the Mexican/ US border) against the US federal government; increasing power and dominance of Mexican drug cartels over legitimate governance; the increasing presence of Mexican and Hispanic gangs, and gang-related violence spreading throughout the United States; growing xenophobia in the US due to increasing unemployment, and the propensity of Human Nature to seek out an enemy (undocumented Hispanic workers, as well as all legally compliant Hispanic-Americans, as if there were no difference between the two) upon which to place blame for its economic woes; the rapidly-increasing and increasingly visible Hispanic population in the US (most of whom actually work at jobs that other US citizens would not consider doing, and very few of whom have actually displaced other non-Hispanic US workers); and the issue of the US becoming a two-language country (i.e., English and Spanish).
As US citizens pack their bags and grab what remains of their somewhat scrambled nest eggs to leave the country, Mexican nationals will be fleeing the escalating lawlessness of Mexico and finding their way into the United States by any means possible, regardless of any efforts on the part of the Coast Guard, US Border Patrol, and The Department of Homeland Security. There will also be an increased participation amongst the growing Hispanic population in the US in consumption, government and some entrepreneurial activity.
Anticipate the illegal drug, enslavement, prostitution and shakedown rackets to become increasingly dominated by large, well-armed and increasingly ruthless Latino gangs (operating in both the US and in Mexico), which are increasingly holding entire neighborhoods within the US hostage – it goes without saying that gang-related violence and human “collateral damage” will rise more rapidly now than ever.
There will be a perception among the US populace, and justifiably so, that the US borders (both by land and by sea) are becoming increasingly unsafe, and acts of small-craft piracy off of the coastline will become increasingly common. I wish that I could forecast a point of reversal in this type of activity, but I cannot foresee any improvement within the next three years, and I don’t want to hazard a guess beyond that limited time horizon.
Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
