It’s a strain being a Mexican diplomat in the United States these days, as the plaintive expression on Mario Velázquez-Suárez’s dignified features suggests. Diplomacy may be the art of lying for one’s country, but Mexican diplomacy requires taking that art to virtuosic heights. Sitting in his expansive office in Mexico’s Los Angeles consulate, Deputy Consul General Velázquez-Suárez gamely insists that he and his peers observe the diplomatic duty not to interfere in America’s internal affairs, including immigration matters. “Immigration is an internal discussion,” he says. “We have to respect that regardless of whether it pleases us.”
Well, at least one part of the deputy consul general’s statement is true: immigration is an “internal discussion.” The decision about who can enter and permanently reside in a country is central to its identity. The rest of his statement, though, is utterly false. Mexican officials here and abroad are involved in a massive and almost daily interference in American sovereignty. The dozens of illegals milling in the consulate’s courtyard as Velázquez-Suárez speaks, and the millions more radiating outward from Los Angeles across the country, are not a naturally occurring phenomenon, like the tides. They are there thanks in part to Mexico’s efforts to get them into the U.S. in violation of American law, and to normalize their status once here in violation of the popular will. Mexican consulates are engineering a backdoor amnesty for their illegal migrants and trying to discredit American immigration enforcement—activities clearly beyond diplomatic bounds.
Mexico’s governing class is not content simply to unload the victims of its failed policies on the U.S., however. It also tries to ensure that migrants retain allegiance to La Patria, so as to preserve the $16 billion in remittances that they send to Mexico each year.

"Mexican leaders have thus tasked their nation’s U.S. consulates with spreading Mexican culture into American schools and communities. Given the American public’s swelling anger about illegal immigration, it’s past time for Washington to tell Mexico to cease interfering and for the Bush administration to start enforcing the law."
I'm sure it's tough for Mexican diplomats since a big part of their job seems to make it so that their people can flee their country and violate our laws. Oddly,y I find myself lacking sympathy for these diplomats - they should concentrate on making their country better so their people do not want to flee.
It's time to say that aid or assistance by a Mexican gov't official to illegal aliens gets an automatic and permanent expulsion from the USA. Let them be ambassadors to Cuba.

Don't blame the Mexicans, blame the traitors who have thrown open our borders for occupation, and who treat their own nation and people as a hated, conquered colony. If we had any real patriots in power 90% of these so called consulates would be shut down. There must be one in just about every city in America.
If you read the entire article it becomes clear that this is a unified effort to screw up our country. A total outrage.

And thus far, it is turning out as if Vicente had written the script himself, with Bush as Senior editor.
BTTT
Never mind about DC they are asleep at the switch having been lulled to sleep by the CFR singing lullabys about "North American Unification" and how wonderful it will be for the hacks in "our" capitol.
Is Bush going to crack down on illegals now?
Why would they since they know that by the time George Bush is out of office Mexico will own the US, and they will become our masters. Thanks, George!
