CARSON CITY, Nev., March 24, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Signs warning motorists of people illegally crossing into America litter the roadways of states near the border with Mexico. However, the real concern comes from perceptions the signs could inspire, according to W.N. LaVallee, whose new book, Mexico Immigration or Terrorism?: New Thoughts from Expatriates Living in Mexico (now available through AuthorHouse), presents a unique perspective on the issue.
"Al Qaeda terrorists used our own infrastructure as a no cost method of surprise attack on Sept. 11. A new form of terrorism may utilize the American population itself as an unexpected and economical weapon of mass destruction, pitting us against each other, instead of them," LaVallee says.
Mexico Immigration or Terrorism? offers new information gleaned from the views and opinions of expatriates living south of the border. LaVallee traveled to Chapala, Mexico, to speak with Americans there who have more information and resources on the problems between the two countries. As American resentment toward the illegal immigration of Hispanics grew and the line between them and Americans of Mexican descent became blurred, he discovered this perception could lead to an unanticipated atmosphere of prejudice and possible insurrection within America which, he says, would be aided by terrorists working in the background. The book portrays U.S. leadership as the real culprit and the only legislative means of solving the illegal alien problem. According to LaVallee, Mexican officials are merely doing what they were elected to do by looking out for their country's interests in allowing American taxpayers to absorb their social obligations.
"There has been little obvious condemnation...from loyal Hispanic leaders, and their silence has caused many Americans to privately equate most Hispanics as at least cooperating with the foreigners," LaVallee says.
The book offers a thorough examination of the issues at hand. LaVallee fears if the problem goes uncorrected, Americans could be psychologically turned against many of their fellow citizens. He finds the key problem and solution in the Mexican economy and shows how he believes it is critical for America's security.
An eye opening discussion, Mexico Immigration or Terrorism? is a controversial but important issue in the struggle to ensure homeland security.
After a career in the military, LaVallee managed large apartment complexes. When he retired a second time, he spent several winters with expatriate friends in Mexico. Through their conversations, he became aware of the roots and dangers of the immigration problem. Mexico Immigration or Terrorism? is his first book.
