OMG! Human rights for Mexicans? I saw their human rights. The right to beg from tourists because your government does NOTHING for you. I'm a conservative but I don't think its right for a country to have its old and crippled people wandering the beaches begging for enough to get their food for that day. The Mexicans are literally dying to get out of there - and he is lecturing us about human rights?

[thinktwice]

"Human rights is a key issue for this government," Fox said. "We've been promoting the respect for human rights in Mexico and outside of Mexico.

What liberals don't seem to understand is that murderers, rapists -- all criminals that seriously violate other people's rights -- have forfeited their right to life and deserve the death penalty.

[thinktwice]

Forgot to add ... President Bush should let Fox know that an extremely cold Texas day will set a proper stage for Fox's next visit.

Hey vicente fox stay home and start reforming and tell your illegal aliens in the united states to comeback home. These people are not your election campaigners in another country!

[Paleo Conservative]

Medina never claimed to be a Mexican citizen till after he was convicted and his case was being appealed. If a Mexican national wants the Mexican government to defend him in court, he should request contact with his embassy when first arrested or before going on trial. Otherwise defendants will game the system as a ploy to getting their sentences or convictions thrown out.

3 million illegal Mexicans living in the US? Try more like 6-8 million! There are probably between 12-15 million illegal Invaders living in this country.

Because Bush and the Republicans refuse to do anything about the Mexican Invasion, I've already changed my party affiliation to Independent. I also have stopped sending money to the Repubs. Screw them.

Since it should be apparent to all Americans that both major parties are unwilling to do anything about the Invasion, all I can do is to recommend that people buy and stock up on arms and ammunition. When this country is balkanized and split wide open, they will be needed.

Fox knows he has a weakling and stooge for a U. S. president. He's been working it for all it's worth. There will be a temporary hiatus to fool the American people. then the sell-out will continue.

[texasreb]

Yea, what you said!!!

[MissAmericanPie]

There are no rights for illegals in America, they do not need to be here. What they deserve is a heavy fine, and exportation.

Fox hopes to reschedule Texas visit..

Quick, Execute another one.

[Fast 1975]

If Fox's Mexico is such a beacon for human rights, and the US is so inhumane- Why do millions of Mexicans flood this country and where are the American immigrants fleeing tyranny?

One wonders why "conservative" Vicente Fox is so obsessed with saving murderers and criminals in the U.S. but never "protests" the abortion laws in this country. I guess criminals are more deserving than innocent babies in his mindset.

Hey, Vince, would it even bother you if a Mexican national crossed the border to get taxpayer funded abortion in the U.S.? Aren't you pro-life? Hello?!

The whole damn world knows that the Republicrats are big pushovers. Look at all the tin-pot dictators and various U.N. lackeys making their 'demands' on the U.S. for this and that.

Not one of our spineless P.O.S. politicians has the stones to tell them to take a flying leap.

It's all about 'fairness', 'tolerance' and 'diversity' not to mention corporate-who-gives-a-sh*t-about-sovereignity dollars.

[Looking4Truth]

The Bible says we will have a one-world government and I believe it. We are going to belong to a gigantic 3rd-world style government with the elites at the top and everyone else at the bottom, no middle class just elites and serfs.

Most FReepers know that we're (the U.S. and namely conservatives the world over) being sold down the river as I write this.

The slippery slope just gets steeper and steeper by the day.

"Many Mexicans live in the United States, many of them are indigenous people," Fox said.

This is a bit ambiguous. What exactly does he mean by calling them "indigenous"? If they were born here, they're U.S. citizens and are no more entitled to help from the Mexican government than any Anglo-Euro-American. If they're Mexican-born but have lived here for years, they're still Mexican, not U.S. citizens, and not indigenous. I think Fox is playing with semantics and obfuscating.

"There are millions and millions of Mexicans living in the United States," Fox said, "and if each one of them is going to find themselves in a similar situation in which their rights are violated, I must protest."

If you're going to protest anything, why don't you protest the fact that millions of your citizens are living illegally in the U.S. and quit making statements that sound like that's perfectly fine with you.

Uh, congratulations. I think you're breaking the code.

When the leftist media declared Bush to be the frontrunner a year and a half before the election, everybody should have known we were being manipulated. Now we have a useless weakling from a useless family in as president. What we have is a swarm of weak useless people from useless families using national politics as a glamorous prestigious playground while claiming they are making the sacrigice of committing themselves to "public service." The truth is, they don't have anything else to do with their lives. No Kennedy has worked a day for 80 years. Someone in the Bush family made money a century ago leaving Bush Senior an aimless party aparatichik. W has been coasting through life on figurehead positions offered him. We have Bentsens, Cuomos, Rockerfellers, and a continuing list. Fox and everybody else is going to take advantage of it. Clinton thinks he is still president with a $250,000 raise per night in pay, and he might as well be because he is unopposed and W. is quoting his speeches nearly word for word.

How about we give them the right to go back to their own country?

BTW, it is too late! We have been overrun and nothing will be done now.
