Hayworth critical of Mexico's immigrant 'guide'(GUIDE to help ILLEGAL ALIENS sneak into USA)

Scottsdale Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth is criticizing the Mexican government over a controversial pamphlet for migrants and undocumented immigrants looking to enter the United States.
The Mexican government has put out a new booklet titled "Guide to the Mexican Immigrant." The guide gives Mexican migrants information regarding how to cross into the United States safely. There has been a substantial number of deaths of Mexican immigrants in the Southwestern desert in recent years. Also, the smuggling of some of those immigrants into Tucson, Phoenix and other U.S. cities has resulted in other illegal activities, kidnappings and violence between rival smuggling gangs.
But the booklet is being criticized by some in the U.S. as another encouragement of illegal immigration by the Mexican government.
Hayworth, a conservative who represents Scottsdale, Tempe and Ahwatukee, said Tuesday the migrant guide is a "flagrant example of the Mexican government's lack of respect for U.S. laws."
Hayworth is voicing his protest in a letter to the Mexican ambassador in Washington.
"The booklet is essentially a 'how to' guide for illegal entry into the U.S. that provides recommendations for illegal aliens in evading detection of federal authorities once in the U.S. Not once does the guide mention how a Mexican migrant can come the U.S. legally," Hayworth said in the letter.
This is not the first time Hayworth has criticized the Mexican government for not doing more to address illegal immigration into the United States. That includes threats to reduce U.S. foreign aid to Mexico and use some of that money to address immigration costs.
The Republican is mulling a run for governor in 2006 against incumbent Democrat Janet Napolitano. Hayworth has become increasingly hawkish on the immigration front in recent months, arguing tougher border controls and stricter enforcement of existing immigration laws need to precede new proposals such a guest worker plan.
Guest worker initiatives have the backing of business groups, the Bush administration, Napolitano and some other Arizona Republicans.

The truth is JD and every other member of our congressional delegation and the State GOP leadership condemned Prop 200.

Mara Salvatrucha Street Gang
Al Valdez, Orange County District Attorney Investigator ^ | 2000 | Al Valdez
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1263555/posts[snip];
Mara Salvatrucha gang members maintain contact between groups in the United States and El Salvador for several specific reasons. In El Salvador, a hand grenade sells for $1.00-$2.00 U.S. currency and an M-16 rifle will sell for approximately $200.00-$220.00 U.S. dollars. This communication and alliance provides a mechanism for MS gang members to access military-style munitions and also establishes a network to traffic illegal firearms into the United States.
..."Although military weapons seem to be readily available to this gang, street intelligence indicates they often have difficulty obtaining handguns, which are not readily available in El Salvador. This creates a demand for small arms by MS members in the U.S. and El Salvador. This demand is so high that MS members will often take handguns as payment for drug transactions. The guns are then sent back to El Salvador, or used in the United States.
MS is also involved in exporting stolen U.S. cars to South America. The cars are often traded for drugs when dealing with cartels. It is estimated that 80% of the cars driven in El Salvador were stolen in the United States. Car theft is a lucrative business for MS.
The Mara Salvatrucha gang is involved in a variety of criminal enterprises. As with members of other gangs, MS members seem willing to commit almost any crime, but MS gang members tend to have a higher level of criminal involvement than other gang members. MS members have been involved in burglaries, auto thefts, narcotic sales, home invasion robberies, weapons smuggling, car jacking, extortion, murder, rape, witness intimidation, illegal firearm sales, car theft and aggravated assaults. In terms of drug trafficking activities, common drugs sold by MS members include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine. Mara Salvatrucha gang members have even placed a tax on prostitutes and non-gang member drug dealers who are working in MS "turf." Failure to pay up will most likely result in violence...."
