Lost Identity
I wonder how the Mexican government would like it and the people of Mexico would appreciate a park in the middle of Mexico city depicting American Hero's. Not manufactured events but real hero's. Like those of lets say the Alamo and the independance of Texas from Mexican tryanny.
A large park in the shape of Texas with plaques depicting the Courage of the Texas Rangers. A huge 20 foot statue of President Sam Houston and his decisive victory over Santa Anna at the battle of San Juancinto.
They would be outraged I am thinking. That we would dare to put American hero's in thier country. Davy Crockett and his Coon skin cap, holding his muskett defending the invading army from Mexico at the Alamo. Or better yet the Marines that crushed Mexican soldiers in the halls of Montezuma, loud speakers playing the Marine Corps Hymn 24/7. Yeah baby,that needs to be done anyways .... SEMPER FI.
Well there is no outrage but it is happening only from the Mexican perspective in Dallas. A park commited to national hero's of Mexico is being built and praised. Distorted facts of the treaty of Hildago are being put forth and an antiAmerican promexican fever is riseing.
Heroes of Mexico - Coming to a Park Near You

The Mexicanization of the Southwestern United States has taken another step forward with the announcement of “La Rotonda de los Mexicanos Ilustres” - a rotunda featuring the “Heroes of Mexico” in a Dallas city park.
Under a plan being coordinated by the city of Dallas along with community leaders and the Mexican Consul-general, Dallas’ Winnetka Park will soon be a place where Mexicans can come to pay tribute to statues and busts of past Mexican presidents, poets and other historical figures.
A statue of President Juarez already stands in Winnetka Park and it might soon be joined by at least seven other statues of Mexican historical figures.
The Consul, Carlos Garcia De Alba, was quoted in the Spanish newspaper “Al Dia” as saying, “It will be a rotunda dedicated to the heroes of Mexico.” He also said that this could be the first of its kind in the United States.
But certainly not the last, and certainly not the last in Texas - the state where more illegal immigrants sneak across the border than any other. Victor Davis Hanson wrote a book called “Mexifornia,” but California is no worse off than Texas when it comes to degradation of the culture. In “se habla Espanol” signs hanging from store windows and Spanish-speaking radio and television, Texas takes a back seat to no other state.
Winnetka Park should be a wake-up call. President Bush can blather on all he wants to about matching willing workers with willing employers - but none of that will make much difference if the Southwestern region of the United States becomes so Mexicanized that it seeks a rejoining with Mexico - known to those who support it as “the Reconquista.”
This idea is not some far-fetched conspiracy theory; it is real. With President Bush and other political leaders ignoring the cultural costs of millions of illegal aliens, the advocates of the Reconquista already have their invaders in place. There’s no need to fire any shots. Just put Mexican Consuls all over the region to meddle in the affairs of the United States -- such as pushing ideas like the Rotunda of Mexican Heroes.
At this rate, Santa Ana will soon be a hero in Texas and Sam Houston will be a villain. The history of the Alamo will be reinterpreted. The heroes of Texas - Houston, Austin, Travis, Bowie, Crockett, Bonham and the rest - will begin to fade away from our parks and museums.
Winnetka Park in Dallas is about to honor the likenesses of poet Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, independence figures Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon, Vicente Guerrero and Ignacio Zaragoza, and revolutionary Emiliano Zapata. The Dallas Councilman from the district, Steve Salazar, and the city’s Deputy Mayor Pro-Tem Elba Garcia both support the project. They’re now turning their attention to obtaining funding.
Someday, in Winnetka Park, there may be a statue of President Vicente Fox. It’s not very likely that there will ever be one of George W. Bush.
