Mexico's president "we send back them."

Posted on 05/20/2010 9:49:02 AM PDT by navysealdad

May 20, 2010 Washington, D.C.) - Mexico's president addressed a joint meeting of Congress on Thursday, urging members to work toward fixing the immigration issues that have plagued the border relations of the neighboring countries.

In his call for reform, though, Calderon denounced Arizona's recently amended SB1070 law, which requires law enforcement officials to question during a "lawful stop, detention or arrest" people suspected of being in the country illegally.

"I strongly disagree with the recently adopted law in Arizona," Calderon said to a standing ovation from the members of Democrat Congress. "It is a law that ... introduces a terrible idea using racial profiling as the basis for law enforcement."

Now let's see what he said on CNN yesterday.

May 19, 2010

WOFF BLITZER: So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, they can just walk in?

CALDERON: No. They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedent. And they coming into Mexico. Actually...

BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?

CALDERON: Of course. Of course, in the border, we are asking the people, who are you?

And if they explain...

BLITZER: At the border, I understand, when they come in.

CALDERON: Yes.

BLITZER: But once they're in...

CALDERON: But not -- but not in -- if -- once they are inside the -- inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law. But by any means, immigration is a crime anymore in Mexico.

BLITZER: Immigration is not a crime, you're saying?

CALDERON: It's not a crime.

BLITZER: So in other words, if somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America, through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job...

CALDERON: No, no.

BLITZER: They can work.

CALDERON: If -- if somebody do that without permission, we send back -- we send back them.

BLITZER: You find them and you send them back?

CALDERON: Yes.

Yes, nearly every country I go to that isn’t next to the border does.

Even Canada asked for it.

In Mexico though, they report like they do in China.

They let the authorities know “so and so” is here at our hotel.

I am sure if you go to a flea bag hotel though, they won’t report you. Those places don’t even have sheets on their beds so why would they even bother.

It would appear he is sampling a few to many products of the cartels. Either that, or his translator has a room temperature IQ. He has less ability with the English language than a Tiajuana hooker.

Yep. Some countries where I have visited require that you surrender your passport when you register at a hotel (that is why I always kept a clear photocopy of the information page of my passport with me at all times).

It's just that Mexico claims has territorial designs on the United States and believes its people have a special, unimpeded right to settle here.

Si. Reconquista.

And if you are pregnant, the taxpayers will pick up your hospital expense and your kid becomes an automatic citizen.

Calderon does not believe the US has the same rights as Mexico. They see the US as a territory to colonize, nothing more.

Bingo!

He forgot his programmed talking points I don't think so. Heard these sound bites on Rush a little bit ago. I think the guys frame of reference needs to be taken into play here. He see's Arizona as part of Mexico, Atzlan and all that. So in essence, to HIM, Arizona's law is a no-no because it prevent's Atzlan "citizens" from moving freely while Mexico still has to protect it's borders.

He probably feels that way, as you say, but he was NOT supposed to voice it on American television. He is here to echo the talking points of dEAREST lEADER, not let us in on how ridiculously hypocritical his speech today was.

“He and Barry were doing the Dumb & Dumber act yesterday.”

It reminded me of that Gilligans Island episode where Gilligan dreams he is “El Presidente” of a small south american country - but really a puppet for a South American ruthless dictator.
