It seems President Fox of Mexico does not like people pointing out why he is a failure. To hide his failure, he decides to not only insult Americans, but Mexicans as well.
Just look at one of Fox's recent comments: "There is no doubt that Mexicans...are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States." He said this in a speech broadcast in part on local radio and reported on newspaper web sites (Reuters, Fri. May 13).
LibertyPost.org reports the comment this way: "There's no doubt that the Mexican men and women...are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States."
Nasdaq.com has the following variation: "There's no doubt that the Mexican men and women...are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States."
Many in the liberal U. S. media have asked Fox to apologize for these remarks because they view them as racist. I see it differently. I see his remarks as a slur on Mexicans by their own president.
What Fox is really saying is that Mexicans are so stupid they are willing to take jobs that enlightened African-Americans won't. African-Americans are smart enough to know that they were slaves once, and have no desire to be slaves again. According to Fox, poor, dumb Mexicans, not smart enough to blame their own government for no jobs at home, go to the U. S. where they become a new generation of slaves.
Instead of building a country where all Mexicans have jobs, Fox wants to send his poor and jobless citizens to the U. S as illegal immigrants. Maybe "the Mexican men and women--full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work" should wise up and decide not to do stupid work in America anymore, but demand good jobs in their own country.
A step towards this enlightenment would be for Mexicans to kick Fox and his cronies out of office and then turn them over to "coyotes." Let's see what kind of work Fox can get in the U. S. as a failed politician after he sneaks across the border. Maybe there's an African-American contractor in Chicago who will hire him. It will be dirty work, but as president of Mexico he's used to it.

I just (5/19/05) sent this letter to Vicente Fox, to a few Mexican newspapers and to La Opinion in L.A. I'm still waiting for a response...
Querido Señor Fox,
No nos diga cómo conducir nuestro propio país, Vicente. Los Estados Unidos de América nos pertenece a nosotros, no pertenece a Ud. ni a los Mexicanos pobres que manda aquí.
Ellos no son "trabajadores sin documentos." Son ILEGALES. Son invasores. Han violado nuestra frontera sin permiso, y están viviendo y trabajando aquí ILEGALMENTE. Si quieren vivir y trabajar aquí, deben solicitar permiso por medio del proceso LEGAL de inmigración. Somos una nación de leyes, y los ilegales no respetan a nuestras leyes. No merecen quedarse aquí.
¿Qué me pasaría si yo entrara a México sin permiso, y si yo tomo un trabajo que "no hará ningún mejicano"? Claro. Me echarán en la cárcel.
Vicente, Ud. es un sin vergüenza y un enemigo de los Estados Unidos de América. Estamos viviendo en una época de guerra. ¿Cómo se atreve decir Ud. que no tenemos el derecho, como un país soberano, de defender nuestra frontera? Arregle a su propio país y economía, en vez de mandar acá a sus necesitados.
Sinceramente,
Los CIUDADANOS de los Estados Unidos de America
Seen Yor Focks is a resident of the nation founded by the nation of Spain, he does not consider himself related to those that live in poverty, and break down our fences. He is participating in the ethnic cleansing of the mixed race and indiginous peoples of the land.
Charlite- You come up with some of the coolest and most interesting posts.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your comments immensely. In all truth, I work all day long, looking for "the best of the best" and it's a pleasure to know that some of the FR members enjoy and comment on the items of exceptional interest that I come across and then share with this lively FR community.
Peace be with you, de Buillion!
Sincerely,
Char :)
good for a lopsided smirk
He KNOWS Americans are stupid ...
They're still a craphole 3rd world tyranny when it all boils down. They'd jail you for that letter.
You are correct.....
Mexico needs a Zorro of its own to wrest the nation from the aristos.
Mexican illegals come to America to work at low-paying jobs because there are NO jobs in Mexico.
Reporters should constantly ask Vicente why he does not provide jobs, education and health services for his own people?
This is the liberal, democrat, socialist mindset at work. They think that hard work at unskilled jobs is slave labor. I have a extreme dislike for these people. Its a good part of what is destroying America. Too many people think they are entitled to homes, cars,medical, food, school, a big fat check for doing nothing. And who pays for all this. Anyone who actually works for a living. Our hard earned money is forceibly taken from us to enable parasites to survive.
Do you mean on the part of this author? I understand his thesis only to be that Vicente Fox is insulting his own citizens by declaring that they are willing to come to America to become economic slaves. Incidentally, he also insults America in the process of his unending diatribes against the United States, without which Mexico would no doubt have experienced a couple more revolutions, due to their gross corruption and mismanaged economy.
If his blooming country were a workers' paradise, there wouldn't be millions of Mexicans risking their lives to get out of there!
Personally, I think that Senor Fox has one he$$ of a nerve! The U.S. is the safe haven for all of his unemployed, discontented "tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to be free." Yet, this ungrateful loud mouth can't whine enough about our country's insufficiencies! How dare he?!

That's an angle which isn't discussed nearly enough. Thanks for bringing it up. One of our top conservative writers should do a major column on this subject (with back-up facts)!
Thanks for the information, Cornpone!
Char :)
Anytime!:)
Brilliant article, thanks so much for posting this!
Char :)
I'm glad he's getting called on this.
The author slipped that in there. He might not be a socialist nonetheless it is that type of thinking that makes people feel entitled to help themselves to the largess of others. Yes he is bashing fox but read what he says about blacks thinking they are slaves if they start at the bottom and work their way to the top. He says it is slavery. Thats BS. People think they should start off making 75 grand a year and that minimum wage isnt good enough so they milk welfare and SS for a living.
