Gee, I wonder how mexico secures its own southern border.
Oh wait, they make it hard as hell to get in.
But we're evil if we want to do the same to protect our borders.
This kind of person really irks me. Cannot come up with a bright idea on their own, won't face the facts. The Minuteman Project has put the lie to this thinking. Now it's time for the organizations of government to step up.
>>Several hundred Mexican migrants die each year of heat stroke, drowning, dehydration or assaults at desert border crossings.<<
The Minuteman Project is the only reason this subject has come to the front. Mexico is losing a lot of money with the increased enforcement.
19 terrorists died on 9/11/01 while attacking the United States. What should their home countries do to make sure there isn't a repeat?

re: defeatism or resignation to 'fate',, theory is these folks have a recessive FRench surrender monkey gene. ;-)
I'm proud of all the fine Minutemen folks and others that went to the border ,, that includes grannies in lawn chairs and regular Joe concerned citizens.
I agree with the Minutemen, but it's nuts to expect Mexico to keep people in by force, that's what the Commies did. Countries have the right to keep people out, they don't have a right to keep people in (except in cases of minors or lawbreakers whose movement they have the right to limit). A
n analogy is a person's home. ONe has a positive right to keep people out, One has no positive right to keep people in. Of coure Bill O'Reilly and Co. are too dumb to see this.
"Mexico has said its constitution prevents it from stopping its own citizens from migrating illegally to the United States."
That's because the Mexican government STILL does not
officially recognize the conditions set up under the
Gadsden Purchase. They took the money, but now want
the land they sold back! Interesting read found here:

They are both hogwash!
Did I over look something like - maybe Mexico could provide good jobs for her people? Mexico is a wealthy nation as far as natural resources are concerned. You would think they could provide for their own.
first of all......what the HELL is a "mexican lawmaker" ????
The corrupt Mexican govt. vicously protects its own borders
from those who won't put graft into the protectors pockets naturally...
Those on this side of el Norte who protest the loudest about illegal aliens being stopped from invading....are anticipating some sort of personal gain..if one digs deep enough one will find it..and it flies in the face of 'Homeland Security" and the 'War on Terror'...
And more importantly US sovereignty..
imo
Senor Zinser objects to any reduction of the huge numbers of Mexico's poverty, disease, ignorance and dependence that are imported to America every year.
Apparently he is in complete agreement with our own government who also doesn't seem to want the numbers to decline. The majority of American citizens/taxpayers want it STOPPED COLD.
They must not be running for reelection, or this is a plan to send people to the least secured parts of the border.
There, fixed..
Well, maybe they could at least stop publishing pamphlets about how to enter and live in the US illegally.
Too bad the Mexican government does such a poor job running a country so rich with natural and intellectual resources.
They should be ashamed of themselves. Their citizens are voting with their feet. It's funny how the left ignores the fact that there aren't millions of Americans stampeding Mexico illegally for work and opportunity.
"Mexican lawmakers have proposed a bill to stop Mexicans from traveling to dangerous border areas, a measure some say is needed to save lives but others say violates the right of free movement and bows to U.S. interests. "
This is huge news. If Mexico starts discouraging, instead of encouraging illegal immigration into the US, that will be a great help -- then maybe they will start to enforce their border, and the combination of them securing their border and us securing ours, will basically eliminate illegal immigration.
Then a well regulated guest worker program will make sense.
While they try a lot harder to seal their southern border than we do, using their conscript army in fact, lots of illegals still get accross. We are kidding ourselves if we think we can seal the border and stop the flow of migrants entirel. We can cut it down, and we could cut the illegal flow a lot more by providing legal means for "guest workers". With such a program we could then put restrictions on the numbers and the "rights" of the migrants, by requiring them to acknowldge that they must return, have no right to free medical care, etc, etc, as a condition of the required permits.
We have Free medical care? Where? A emergency room visist does not count.
bingo!
this just sounds like a border escort service.. go rest in the shade for the day... maybe set up air-conditioned border safe house... then a midnight ride back to the border trails.... coyotes waiting.
i bet they will even get U.S. money to help with this "humanitarian" effort.
