Love this quote: “I doubt Mr. Fox would appreciate it if the U.S. government started giving out free advice on how to get away with tax fraud in Mexico City.”

[jb6]

Disdain? I don't consider spending Mexican federal funds on how to manuals for crossing the border and infiltrating society as disdain, flagrant violation, but definitely not disdain!

[RKV]

"I agree with President Fox that it is unacceptable for civilian groups to take the law into their own hands" Isn't this more or less what the founding fathers did? I pretty much agree with the rest.

[Tench_Coxe]

Good on Senator Kyl. I have a feeling that things may be filtering up to Versailles on the Potomac.

[Cicero]

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Vincente Fox finally drove the PRI out of power, after 70 years of corrupt and tyrannical rule.

What a disappointment. In many respects, Fox is worse than the PRI. Somebody really needs to put a flea in his ear.

[sasafras]

Right On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am proud of Kyl to stand up to Fox. I cant say the same thing of Bush.

[hinterlander]

"Flagrant violation" works. But I think "disdain" is a fair word too.

From Webster's:
Main Entry: 1 dis·dain
Pronunciation: dis-'dAn
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English desdeyne, from Old French desdeign, from desdeignier
: a feeling of contempt for what is beneath one

Bump for a great Senator - Senator Kyl is my Senator. Thank you Mr. Kyl

well,when US citizens commit hundreds of murders, and thens of thousands of crimes each year in Mexicso, then Fox can speak..

[hang 'em]

I've said this for years:

1) Put up razor wire fences, laser sensors and lay mine fields on the border.

2) Offer bounties on illegals (i.e. snitch on an illegal and get a $50 reward from the Border Patrol), arrest and deport them all now.

3) Tattoo or DNA tag the deported so they they can be punished harder for a second try.

Q & A session with Milton Friedman at the 18th Annual Institute for Liberty and Policy Analysis (ISIL) World Libertarian Conference, August 20-22, 1999, in San Jose, Costa Rica. Co-sponsors: The Mackinac Center for Public Policy; the Atlas Economic Research Foundation.

Q: Dr. Friedman should the U.S.A. open its borders to all immigrants? What is your opinion on that?

A: Unfortunately no. You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

Q: Do you oppose a unilateral reduction of tariffs and if not how can you oppose open immigration until the welfare state is eliminated?

A: I am in favor of the unilateral reduction of tariffs, but the movement of goods is a substitute for the movement of people. As long as you have a welfare state, I do not believe you can have a unilateral open immigration. I would like to see a world in which you could have open immigration, but stop kidding yourselves. On the other hand, the welfare state does not prevent unilateral free trade. I believe that they are in different categories. Q: Instead of a green card [resident alien status], can the USA issue a blue card which does not give welfare? A: If you could do that, that would be fine. But I don't believe you can do that. It's not only that it is not politically feasible, I don't think that it is desirable to have two classes of citizens in a society. We want a free society. We want a society in which every individual is treated as an end in themselves. We don't want a society in which some people are in there under blue conditions, others are in there under red conditions, others are in there under black conditions. We want a free society. So I don't believe such .... I haven't really ever thought of that system. It's a new question. I very rarely get a new question, but I must admit that's a new question for me. And I haven't really thought about it a great deal, but my initial reaction is that it's a very undesirable proposal.

[righttackle44]

Yes, we've heard from McCain.

So far, it's silence, I think

They're my senators, too.

[AZ_Cowboy]

At least one of my Senators has the right idea, anyway.

[c-b 1]

Yes, In my opinion our other Senator has lost his mind.

[janetgreen]

¿Me pregunto qué Jorge Arbusto piensa de éstos comenta por senador Kyl?

[spodefly]

Bravo Senator Kyl.
