MEXICO CITY — A Mexican government commission said Tuesday it will distribute at least 70,000 maps showing highways, rescue beacons and water tanks in the Arizona desert to curb the death toll among illegal border crossers.

The National Human Rights Commission National Human Rights Commission, a government-funded agency with independent powers, denied the maps — similar to a comic-style guide booklet Mexico distributed to migrants last year — would encourage illegal immigration.

This speaks volumes.

One word for this: Treason

[Dead Corpse]

Damn am I getting tired of our Government sitting on its hands...

SECURE THE BORDER NOW!!!

[SouthernFreebird]

And still our President does.....nothing. They've been mopping the floor with Bush and it's an embarrassment to our Country that he allows this blatant disrespect to our Country.

"We the People" are being left to twist in the wind by of government. Time to take back that authority and use it for ourselves. The Constitution leases it to government, it doesn't grant it to our political hero's in-perpetuity.

Just have the map printer change "north" to "south".

That'll fix that problem.......

We really should start billing Mexico for the expenses these people run up.

$16B+ in remittances going back to Mexico last year making it the 2nd, or largest, revenue generating industry in all of Mexico. You wonder why the Mexican government encourages their citizens to break the law and sneak across the border?

Payments from the United States to Mexico continue to grow in popularity. Based on Banco de México estimates, personal payment remittances between the two countries increased from around $13 billion in 2003 to more than $16 billion in 2004.

We should hand out Mexican maps to our minutemen. They should show all major military and police installations, as well as know narcotrafficer hideouts. Yes, totally innocent, just want them to know where to hit first when we invade, er I mean, where to report border problems to.

It's Time to BOMB THE CRAP OUT OF MEXICO!

[teenyelliott]

Allrighty then. Time to bomb Mexico.

[CondorFlight]

Well, I'm going down to the border and set up a fast food stand, with racks full of sun hats, maps to points of interest,
discount tickets for resorts, and anything else they want to buy. (If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. . . .)

Bienvenidos a los Estados Unidos!

Now go the **** home!

We should probably tax the crap out of these remittances in order to get some of our money back.

Absolutely, in order to cover some the US's social service costs that we are incurring for all the illegal aliens in this country. The list of costs being paid by cities and local governments are enormous - there is a huge fallacy in this "cheap labor" debate that is being ignored. Big business loves it since they are not paying the costs. The taxpayer are picking up the tab. Tax the hell out of the remittances, or have Vicente Fox send a 55 gal barrel of oil over with each one.

What's spanish for "Mine field"?

I guess Mexico moves ahead of Venezuela on the World Tour then.

I'd even consider lobbying to move them ahead of North Korea.

America should start distributing incorrect maps of Arizona in Mexico, with Border Patrol stations marked "Rest Stops".
