Mexican State Issues 'How To' on Border Jumping
Fox News ^ | March 23, 2005

Posted on 03/23/2005 11:30:42 AM PST by SwinneySwitch

LOS ANGELES — Critics of illegal immigration say America's borders have always been too easy to cross, and now one Mexican state is trying to make it easier than ever. The state of Yucatan (search) has issued a new 87-page handbook that tells people how to get across the U.S. border illegally. The guide, which has an accompanying DVD, contains a section on how to apply for a lawful visa but the remaining 50-plus pages are filled with instructions about how to safely sneak into the United States, then blend in. "They need to cease and desist and, in fact, return to a position of being an ally of the United States instead of an adversary," said Rep. J.D. Hayworth (search), R-Ariz. But Sara Zapata Mijares, president of the Yucatecan Club (search) of Los Angeles, called the guide a "life-preserving document." Mijares and officials in Yucatan say illegal immigration is a reality and the guide is a necessity to save lives. But she points out that in the handbook, the dangers of crossing the border are illustrated with photographs of tombs. "You tell me if this is an image that promotes immigration," she said.

I have an idea. Maybe some here could work with me on actually doing it.

We publish a comic book for people in border states on how to take border jumpers into custody.

Include some useful phrases like:
¡Manos arriba!

Man if we did this right we make it into the MSM and really spark some liberal outrage.

I think this guide is a great idea! Imagine if all criminals were so kind as to provide us with a handbook detailing how they go about breaking the law. It makes developing countermeasures a piece of cake!

How about rounding them all up and putting them to work in some industry,

How about we hire them to build a wall along our Southern border?

Guatemala Border. In 2003, Mexico deported 147,000 illegal immigrants, about 20 percent more than in 2002, with 90 percent from Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Many gather in Tecum Uman, and cross the Suchiate river into Mexico from Guatemala.

Many migrants try to board so-called trains of death that travel from the Mexico border city of Tapachula 1,000 miles to Texas-Mexican border. Corrupt police and criminals prey on the migrants; the Mexican Grupo Beta agents try to protect the migrants and warn them of the dangers of riding the trains north.

Some of you may have already read this from last year, I just read it recently: Heather MacDonald writing on why in many US cities cops can't bust illegals.

There was a BOOKNOTES a few years back, the topic of which was a book about domestic spying during the Cold War. The author related one story that still stays with me.............

The US spooks had broken the identity of a Russian agent and had found out where he was doing his 'drop'. They staked it out and a man finally came to pick up the info and was followed. It turns out he was a Mexican National under the employ of the KGB. He took the material over the border to the Russian Embassy in Mexico City.

The author finished his story by saying that this KGB-cooperating Mexican was now (at the time) an elected Senator in the Mexican Senate.

FRegards (from a former Southern Californian).

Who wrote the "forward" to the handbook, George Bush?
Today he appeared with Fox and called the Americans who
are guarding our borders (the Minutemen) against this
massive foreign invasion "vigilantes". The handbook should
at least be dedicated to Bush who assists the invaders
in every possible way.

Maybe the illegal aliens who read the handbook will think they are too poor to afford tombs until they have worked in the US? Or maybe that they will walk past tombs on their way to the interior of the U.S.? Or maybe that they will die if they don't follow the suggestions in the handbook?
