I think the current American government has gone too far against illegal Mexicans,"...

O.K. I guess I just don't understand why the U.S. doesn't simply adopt reciprocal laws from other countries. We should have the same laws regarding illegal immigrants as the Mexican gubmint! Then, let them complain. Our response would then simply be, You change your laws, we'll change ours!".

Well, Mexico, we’ll be glad do the honorable thing and send these poor, mistreated illegals back to their southern paradise. Have the buses waiting at the border.

It is amazing that Mexicans aren’t frustrated with the villainy within their own country

I haven’t confirmed this but I spoke with a Mexican woman a couple years ago. She said that in Mexico City that kidnapping is so rampant that if you keep the victim for no more than two days that it is only a misdemeanor.

When I ran it by another Mexican, he said that he had never heard of it, but since she was talking about Mexico City which all Mexicans know is the light-years more corrupt than the rest of the county that it might be possible.

I am thinking our ‘visitors’ are feeling the pinch of the slowing economy, They are upset the amount of $ their relatives in the states are sending back is slowing. The changing laws will further slow the cash, and the lack of opportunity and welfare will slowly lead to their returning to Mexico. The last thing Calderon wants is the unemployed masses to start returning home.

We need another General Winfield Scott to go down there and administer some strict Yankee Justice.

Critics are wrong.
Americans just want ILLEGAL repatriated to wherever they came from.

Soooo true. With the self serving B. S. arguments they use they must believe everyone is dumb as a rock.

We need to restructure our immigration laws to be just like those of Mexico, and then ENFORCE THEM VIGOROUSLY.

Then, Mr. Cauldron, you can just STFU.

Your comment is right on mark. But, I expect they’ll be wanting unemployment too.

A good President would invoke the Riot Act for the border states.

“announced a media campaign aimed at influencing American public opinion.”

I guess in the end it’s all about cheap labor, voting blocks and Mexico’s oil reserves. Our demands mean squat.

Dear President Calderon:

We have reconsidered the immigration policy of the United States in light of your recent comments and have decided to allow all Mexicans who currently reside illegally in this country to remain in return for unrestricted access to all your petroleum and other natural resources.

I have instructed the Joint Chiefs of Staff to begin the resource reclamation project immediately. You should be hearing the sounds of their efforts shortly. I suggest you seek shelter without delay.

Sincerely,

Jorge W. Bush
