The above story is a Press release I received via e-mail and is not up on the website.

More FAIR reporting which might be of interest.

CUT

FAIR writes: "Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez has threatened the U.S. government and individual U.S. citizens with various lawsuits. When Arizona citizens approved Proposition 200 in November 2004, restricting access to state benefits for illegal aliens, Derbez threatened to sue the State of Arizona in U.S. District Court, disregarding the necessary legal standing."

"Perhaps emboldened by President Bush's reference to the Minutemen Project in Arizona in April 2005 as "vigilantes," Mexican President Fox criticized the citizen activism as demonstration of lack of respect for the law, and Mexican Foreign Minister Derbez threatened to bring criminal charges in the World Court against the Minutemen. This posturing elicited one of the few responses from Washington, although not from the administration. Senator John Kyl (R-AZ) suggested that President Fox respect the right of the United States to defend its borders and refrain from interfering with U.S. sovereignty."

The text of a July 11 letter from FAIR President Dan Stein to Secretary of State Rice can be seen at http://www.fairus.org/ImmigrationIssueCenters/ImmigrationIssueCenters.cfm?ID=2726&c=13

"Mexican President Fox criticized the citizen activism as demonstration of lack of respect for the law, and Mexican Foreign Minister Derbez threatened to bring criminal charges in the World Court against the Minutemen."
------
Now let me get this straight...Fox, a Mexican, says that Americans DO NOT RESPECT THE LAW, hmmm, do illegals crossing our borders? Criminal charges against U.S. citizens for helping to defend their borders, hmmm, isn't that what soverignty is all about??

Clearly, the inmates are running the insane asylum..is it just my imagination, or has the world gone f-ing crazy? BUT, you know, I cannot blame the Mexicans TOTALLY, because if the UNITED STATES ENFORCED ITS OWN EXISTING LAWS, none of this would be happening.

Thank You Washington, DC, for unleashing this total crap on the American citizen and your dereliction of duty to protect America -- now every third-world scum bag thinks they can ATTACK THE UNITED STATES FOR DEFENDING ITSELF AND ITS BORDERS!!!!

I do not mind a open border for migrants as long as they go the other way as well...or be forcibly returned. All others should be shot.

If they refuse to help regarding terrorism then they are aiding the terrorists. Simple as that. We would then have a state to identify and punish when the next terrorist act occurs. That should be made clear to this p.o.s..

Counter offer to Mr. Casteneda: co-operate on border security or we'll expel every last illegal Mexican immigrant, which is what should be happening anyway.

Leading members of the Senate, including John McCain and Richard Lugar, seemingly accepted Castenada's demands for open borders as a legitimate price for even tepid Mexican cooperation in dealing with the terrorist threat.
Why am I not surprised?

I guess it's because they're used to working out deals where they bargain away their rights and advantages in exchange for promises from liars.

I wonder, if it were VC and NVA leaders coming along offering McCain the same kind of concessions, what his reaction would be?

(Judging from McCain's inaction and active subversion on the POW/MIA issue, I guess I have my answer.)

It shouldn't be too long now until the pro-illegal folks come on posting pictures of the fence.

I am getting to the point that in the next round of elections, I am not going to even consider a candidate unless they are as angry as I am about the illegal alien situation. This is just insanity. Who the heck is former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda in the war against terror except a pesky cockroach? This is MY freakin country and not his. Like Mexico assisting us with Homeland Security even makes a dent anyway. If these senators are going to tuck their cajones up their butts like popped out hemorrhoids, and cater to the Mexican barking chihuahuas, then they will not get my vote.

Just one tidbit of many, to use against the Pro-illegal crowd in 2006 and 2008.

First we get terrorized by the friggin muzzies and now we get blackmailed by the friggin nation of mexico if we don't let the terrorists in.

No deal, mexico. Furthermore, if we do get terrorized by some a-holes you let exit your country into the U.S. by any means, consider yourselves as an instant enemy of America when the balloon goes up.

Really tired of listening to this crap.

Not a lawyer, but when the Mexican government proved itself complicit in encouraging its citizens to jump the U.S. border, it broke the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago. If the treaty is broke, we no longer have to honor it.

Think about that, Mexico. Just STFU and quit while you're ahead.

"No border security is possible without Mexican cooperation".

I have to say I disagree. We, the richest nation in the world, can't string a couple thousand miles of electrified chain link topped w/ barbed wire and a few camera towers?

Come on! This would really be insignificant in federal terms... even w/ "minority set-asides".

If the USA patrols and closes the border properly how are the drug smuglers going to smuggle their drugs into the USA?

the reaction of the senators to the extortion demands of a former top Mexican government official was even more disconcerting. Leading members of the Senate, including John McCain and Richard Lugar, seemingly accepted Castenada's demands for open borders as a legitimate price for even tepid Mexican cooperation in dealing with the terrorist threat.

Although the above overstates the matter (the senators were more passive and deflective than endorsing of the quid pro quo suggestion), the passivity was disconcerting. The suggestion might have been made by someone, that if Mexico does not cooperate with apprehending and thwarting terrorists, it runs the risk of being legislatively labeled a terrorist harboring state, with all of the consequences. Running the terrorists down is not a quid pro matter, and suggesting that it is, is offensive, and dangerous for the future of American-Mexican relations, and you sir, should tell your friends. That is what I might have said. I know, it would not have been popular on that committee - just necessary, in my opinion.
