Forward to the year 2046:
Sixty years had elapsed since the first amnesty of some 6 million Mexican migrants who had crossed the U.S.-Mexican border illegally up to that time. Many said the figure was closer to 8 million. The fact was, nobody knew.
The amnesty idea was sold on the basis that strict control of the U.S. southern border with Mexico would prevent a recurrence.
Within 20 years (2006), more than 12 million more illegals were in the United States and the flood of migrants had increased to 500,000 or more, annually. This new group, for the most part, was making little or no attempt to learn the English language.
Practically unnoticed following the 1986 amnesty was a growing political interest in America’s newest minority, the Hispanics.
A voting pool of millions had been dropped suddenly into the laps of American politicians and the race was on. Candidate after candidate would boast of the percentage of Hispanic votes he “controlled.” Care was taken by the most “creative” (translation: irresponsible) politicians, not to offend real or potential Hispanic voters, and by the year 2006 political awareness of this issue was in full force. Some 12 million more votes lay on the threshold.
A “nation,” growing within the United States, was reaching a population the size of Australia (20.155 million). Pressure was building for bilingualism to accommodate this new “nation.”
Historically, the year 2006 turned out to be the pivotal year.
The majority of America’s politicians — both Democrat and Republican — had become so corrupted by the vision of another voter windfall of millions that principle was abandoned to expediency and America suffered what, in years to come, would be a fatal blow to its sovereignty.
A mixture of flawed, compromising legislation passed through Congress that year designed to disguise the word amnesty. In reality, a corrupted vote-thirsty group of political opportunists created another amnesty it had attempted to hide.
Promises of border control measures would not be carried out, and, encouraged by the latest anmesty, the invasion continued at an accelerated rate. Public pleas to build a wall fell on deaf ears as being un-American.
The law authorizing bilingualism passed the U.S. Congress and was signed into law in 2026. Another 20 million migrants were given amnesty by a Congress with many new members who spoke little English.
The “nation” within the nation had grown from 20 million, in the years succeeding 2006, to a population in excess of 40 million, ranking it within the top 30 nations, population-wise, in the world. It would soon reach the population of Spain itself (43.064 million in 2006).
Most of the new infusion of now “legal” immigrants had concentrated in the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Colorado and Nevada. Coincidentally, these states represent the territory that was ceded to the United States by Mexico at the signing of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, on Feb. 2, 1848, officially ending the Mexican-American War.
Increasingly, political control in these states was beginning to shift and with a new influx of Hispanic voters, the future shifting of control would become more apparent.
It was not surprising, by 2036, political control of the seven southwestern states was solidly in the hands of the former illegal immigrants and their descendants.
Rumblings of cessation from the United States for the creation of a new nation, “Nuevo Hispania,” were circulated widely.
The United States appeared to lack the courage to confront the issue of the cessation movement as it had in 1860 when Honest Abe Lincoln was president.
By the early 2040s, no one seemed to have any knowledge of who Lincoln was or in what century he was president. This was not surprising, since the public school system of the United States had abandoned the teaching of American history years earlier.
So it came to pass, the political will of America that lacked the guts to defend the United States against an illegal migrant invasion now lacked the guts to defend the union from its first threat of dissolution since the Great Civil War of the 1860s.
A new nation, “Nueva Hispania,” was founded within the boundaries of the former United States of America, on March 6, 2046, the 210th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo.
The lives, the fortunes and the sacred honor of the Founding Fathers and the hundreds of thousands of American lives that were lost upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States and the American people for more than 250 years had been offered up as a sacrifice on the altar of a corrupted electoral system.
