I get the feeling that the reporter heard a different speech than I did.
Nah, same speech...it's just that the reporter was expecting to hear one set of facts, and heard something entirely different. That is, our President spoke to our concerns, not Mexico's, for a change.
Yeah, it kind of works that way, unless you forbid any of your people from immigrating here.
BWWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I wonder if the guy puffed out his chest when he wrote that.
Mexico has the right to set its' own immigration policy without US intervention, and we retain that very same right. it goes along with sovereignty. doesn't make us xenophobes or whatever clever names they want to call us.
I don't remember the Mexican government asking our state department how the U.S. might feel when they started publishing comic books instructing their citizens how to violate our laws without getting caught.
I think diplomats should suggest to Mexico that they open their borders to any USA citizen who wants to go to Mexico and live forever, but allow them to retain USA citizenship, but vote in Mexican elections. Yhey can buy any property they wish, any business they wish, be eligible for any government program available to Mexican citizens, travel anywhere they wish. If they want to talk about fair, make it fair, not just one sided in Mexico's favor. Then all our retirees can buy property in Mexico and we can take over their economy as well. Mexico can be the 51st State as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe we need a few thousand Americans to walk across the border (not at a legal port of entry), squat some place, set up a tent city, and then dare them to make us leave.
Yes, long time coming if you ask me. Also this points out how silly it is when we do try to work with Mexico on border issues. I have known for years Mexico wants open borders and nothing else will make them happy. That's why it is so funny when I hear that "Mexican authorities" are working with US to help stop drug/people smuggling. Give me a break!!
I'm glad this guy is showing Mexico's true colors, hope this gets a lot of coverage. I can always hope.
Since you ask.... yes, yes it is. Thank you for noticing. :^)
I understand you can be shot trying to enter Mexico from the south. No hypocrisy here, nosiree...
The dirty secret is that Mexico rivals the South African Apartheid regime in terms of racism. Fox and his cronies are white, and if they could, they would love to foist all of Mexico's Indian population on the US.
From what I know about the corruption in Mexico, the police would probably rob, rape, and ransom the Americans.
Mexican go home. And stay there, damnit!
Meanwhile, the Mexican government has military troops stationed on its southern border to prevent foreigners from Central America and South America from illegally entering Mexico. It looks as if the xenophobic Mexican government is cracking down on immigrants who want to enter Mexico.
Poor babies. How about these messages to the author of this article and all of his ilk:
#1, it's not a Berlin style wall you bellyaching fool. That wall kept people bottled up in a repressive regime inside that oppressive regime. This one will keep illegal entrants out of a free one. If you can't see the difference, its either because you are hoplelessly ignorant, hopelessly biased, or you have another agenda entirely that is not in the best interest of the US...and for us Americans, that is what this is about.
#2, OF COURSE it is a plan fashioned by Americans that Mexicans will have to live with. It impacts issues on American soil, in our soveriegn territory. Soveriegn means we have exclusive control of it. Again...check on your literacy or your bias. In either case, we Americans will take care of our own problems on our soveriegn soil to our best interests.
If that happens to be something Mexicans agree with...great. If not, elect a government that can deal with it yourselves there south of the border on your soveriegn soil.
Finally, as much as this writer and his ilk would like to try and paint it differently...none of the issues currently under serious consideration are anti-immigration. They are anti-illegal entry. And that is how it should be. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Mexicans themselves and the measures they use on their own southern border. Talk about hypocritical...but hey, that's their border and their way of handling their own problem.
We allow them that...and we will handle our own in our own way as well.
See my post number 18.
"As a flood of xenophobia-tinged border security and immigrant-crackdown bills work their way through both houses of the U.S. Congress,..."
"A more justifiable dose of reality that sovereignty-minded Mexico should have no trouble swallowing is the United States' right to control its borders and regulate immigration."
