It's disturbing to think the amount of disrespect Mexico has for our sovereignty and our laws, and it also shows that we need to be much tougher on illegal immigration and immigrants living in the United States. Click here to download the pamphlet in PDF form.

Where's the English version? I'm being discriminated against.
Now if someone could do something similar about the "palestinian" schoolbooks...
Yer in the US now. Speak English!
Vicente Fox is every bit as big of a threat as the al queda IMHO.
More on this:
DOBBS: An unbelievable story tonight out of Mexico, where officials have published a guide, a guide filled with tips for Mexican citizens to help illegal aliens safely cross the border into this country. Although the book warns against illegally crossing that border, it lays out step by step instructions on how to do just that. Casey Wian reports from Los Angeles.
CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Mexicans trying to sneak into the United States now have more help, from their own government. Mexico's Foreign Ministry is distributing a 24-page booklet titled "The Guide for the Mexican Migrant." It contains safety information about how to survive desert or river crossings, such as adding salt tablets to water to prevent dehydration, and warning not to cross during intense heat.
While the booklet does say obtaining a visa is the best way to enter another country, it then provides a step by step guide to crossing without one. From advice about dealing with coyotes or smugglers to tips such as following power lines or train tracks when lost. It's all there.
MARK KRIKORIAN, CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES: Clearly, part of it is to protect the lives of people who are going to cross anyway. It's also intended to facilitate illegal immigration, to make it more normal, more routine and less risky, so that it continues.
WIAN: Much of the guide focuses on what illegal aliens should do if caught by the border patrol. It tells them not to throw rocks at border patrol agents, saying that would be considered provocation. It points out the rights illegal aliens enjoy in this country, and offers tips on how to avoid detection once they've made it across.
The Mexican embassy says the booklet is an effort to save lives, and denies that it encourages illegal immigration. The booklet is being distributed as a free insert in a popular Spanish-language cowboy comic book and over the Internet. Mexico has published more than a million copies of the guide.
WIAN: Today, a White House spokesman said he was unaware of the border crossing guide, but would look into it. One immigration control advocate, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, says he's surprised the Bush administration is not listed as a co-publisher, since it's done so much to encourage illegal immigration --snip----

There's a disclaimer:
"This guide to consular protection does not promote crossing by Mexicans without the legal documentation required by the government of the United States; its objective is to give knowledge of the (reisgos?) that they imply, and inform about the rights of migrants without regard to legal resedence."
In saner times, a government pamphlet encouraging the violation of another sovereign nation's immigration policies would be considered an act of war.
Section titles include: "Dangers of Crossing In High-Risk Zones," "Caution about 'Polleros', 'Coyotes', or 'Pateros'," "Do Not Use False Documents Or Lie About Your Nationality," "If You're Stopped," "If You're Detained You Have Rights," "In Case You're Detained," and a list of consulates.
Please explain to me, in detail, how that pamphlet differs in substance with the U.S. State Department's publications A Safe Trip Abroad or Tips For Americans Residing Abroad?
Yeah......in saner times.
Shall we ban the Bible, as well?
Is this like Sandy Burger? Interestingly last night Arnold in his speech mentioned NADA about the illegals costing us 9 BILLION a yr.
"Please explain to me, in detail, how that pamphlet differs in substance with the U.S. State Department's publications A Safe Trip Abroad or Tips For Americans Residing Abroad?"
It is teaching people how to break the law while insuring personal safety. The fact that you need an explanation is frightening!
I guess that maybe most Americans arent swimming across dirty rivers or tunneling under borders on their "trips" abroad?
Press #1 for English.
"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism...The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin...would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities."
Teddy Roosevelt, Republican President (Speech, New York, 1915)
This will only fuel the advocates of "legal" immigration and I fully support enforcing our borders. It will make it even harder for Bush to push his immigration agenda and expose a political flank to the Dimocraps.
I didn't get any coverage of Arnold's speech, I'll look for a transcript.
Thanks.
You forgot the "wife beating" part. LOL
