This is an example of the unintended(maybe) consequences of government legislation. All corn products will increase. As a fuel corn is not the best anyway.Thanks BIG government.

The American Republic supports the Mexican People


America was unfortunately developed by the murdering of the indigenous inhabitants (Various tribes of Indians) and by lies and deceit.

The Dutch had great ideas for America, the French wanted a new home, Spain was addicted to blood, religion and gold, and Britain was expanding due to overcrowding and disease. The Jews brought in the Irish to manage, and the Negros to work, then came the Asians. The Mexican people were always in America and thru crafty means they were systematically pushed back into their continent. Poncho Villa was trying to save the Mexicans from the lies of oil, and the rest is still history.

Now the so called Minute Men are attempting to drive the Mexican people back across their original border. California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, etc was originally Mexico. The illegal government of Mexico has forced their people into slavery forcing them to cross over their borders into America to look for work to feed their families. The current US government does not recognize these facts as do others.

We of the American Republic respect the Mexican people and will help them regain their dignity and respect due any human being on this planet.
Under our new government, the Mexican people will be welcomed to enter our land and to work, prosper and provide for themselves and families. They can either stay or return to their country without the threat of deportation. America was invaded by immigrants from around the world looking for a better life and was built on that fact. We will offer the same opportunity for all who seek freedom and a new way of life.

Viva La Raza


We are a Legion of many, who will live a life of peace, and have respect for all living things, while having considerations for those who are different, and look for ways to truly accommodate those who are slow in understanding.

We support the poor, helpless, and defenseless people. We support the freedom of Women, we support the sane treatment of animals and the environment, we support the freedom of religion and expression. We do not support ignorance, period.

We are a growing nation of people that encourage anyone or Nation anywhere to become part of the New American Republic!

Sincerely,
Judah Ben-Hur

I also want Elvis's autograph, to meet the Loch Ness monster, meet the alien overlords and rediscover Atlantis.

The obvious solution is:

Send the illegals back to Mexico where they can grow corn.
