Texas Sen. John Cornyn took Mexican President Felipe Calderon to task today for criticizing the tough Arizona immigration law and the flow of illegal guns from the United States to Mexico.
"It was inappropriate for President Calderon to lecture Americans on our own state and federal laws," the San Antonio Republican said in a statement. "Arizona's immigration law has been amended to make clear it does not authorize racial profiling by law enforcement.
"Moreover, the Second Amendment is not a subject open for diplomatic negotiation, with Mexico or any other nation."
Calderon, in Washington for a state visit, addressed a joint session of Congress this morning.
Cornyn balanced his harsh words with some compliments.
"President Calderon said a few things Congress and the American people needed to hear," Cornyn said. "Mexico has gone all in against the drug cartels. Mexico is one of America's best trade partners, thanks in large part to NAFTA. Mexico has lowered its budget deficit to just one percent of GDP, a record of fiscal discipline that should shame Washington. And President Calderon has acknowledged that a lack of economic opportunities south of the border is a primary cause of illegal immigration north of it."
Yeah Right.
It's called Lip Service. And they are doing a piss-poor job. But - so is the US.
Hey Senator Cornyn, how about you propose Texas get the AZ amendment also. Sound good?
And ya wanna know how they did it?
By dumping the people who would have demanded entitlements on to us, thus bankrupting California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Texas and Colorado.
Not a bad strategy if you can get the suckers to buy it.
We need more of our elected representative to talk like this ... daily!
No more lip service to PC and Obamanation.
Send the Peanuts Gallery (Calderon, Chavez, Castro et al) packing!
Let them know they have NO SAY in our sovereign affairs.
The USSC needs to get this point too!
Texas will never adopt a law like AZ immigration law. Something has happened to Texas. The spirit of the Alamo, gone.
I say deport them all. Starting with Calderon. Once they are back in their own country lock the border behind them. If they try to come back shoot to kill. Enough with pussyfooting around with these invaders.
Yes, one-10th of the population of Mexico is living in the USA without permission.
