U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R.-Ariz.) said Thursday that Mexican President Vicente Fox should “shut up” about his opposition to a proposed U.S.-Mexico border fence.
Fox on Wednesday called the idea of a fence “disgraceful and shameful.”
“I’m going to step away from diplomatic rules and offer President Fox some straight talk: President Fox should shut up,” Hayworth told HUMAN EVENTS. “He should shut up about all of this because he is only fanning the flames of poor relations between our two nations. He needs to cease and desist.”
Hayworth continued: “What’s disgraceful is President Fox presuming to lecture the United States on how best to protect itself against an invasion -- an invasion that has his wholehearted advocacy. . . . He needs to stop his advocacy of an invasion of his countrymen into our nation. What’s shameful is that, as the president of the Republic of Mexico, he does nothing to stem this invasion. He actively endorses it.”
Speaking Wednesday in the Tamaulipas state bordering Texas, Fox said: “The disgraceful and shameful construction of walls, the increasing enforcement of security systems and increasing violation of human rights and labor rights will not protect the economy of the United States.”
The House of Representatives, as early as today, will consider an amendment to the fast-moving Republican immigration reform bill. Sponsored by Armed Services Chairman Duncan Hunter (R.-Calif.), the amendment mandates the construction of a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border and requires a study of possible physical barriers along the U.S.-Canada border.
Colin Hanna, president of WeNeedAFence.com, said Fox’s comments could ultimately backfire.
“President Fox’s belligerent statements are not helpful, and are certainly not the remarks of a statesman, never mind an American ally,” Hanna said. “We hear reports that the Mexican military and government officials are actually helping illegal aliens cross the border. If President Fox really wanted to help, he would turn his attention toward ways to stop the official and unofficial fostering of the massive tide of illegal immigration.”
Several years ago, I lived on the East/West German border, less than 1 kilometer. I travelled up and down the border from Goslar in the Harz to the north, east of Luebeck.
In the spring I would be awakened in dark of morning with the rat-a-tattat of machine guns and barking dogs as a would be freedon seeker was gunned down.
I learned - fences work!
Preach it!
...or at the very least, replace McCain.
"If Fox and his cohorts would improve the poor Mexicans' lots in life with jobs and less corruption, they wouldn't be so willing to leave their homes and families."
That, apparently, was one of the rationales behind NAFTA.
I guess it didn't work.
Then again, it shoulod have been obvious that "Free Trade" doesn't work when the money all goes one way only.
Large applause for J.D. Hayworth! Whoo hoo! Shut up Vicente, you friggin crook.
How about STFU!
Hey Vincente stuff a taco in it amigo!!!
Is there any way we can get Fox's e-mail adress or any Mexican newspaper letters to the editor site so we can go on offense with these folks?
Wouldn't it be ironic if a future PRESIDENT J.D. Hayworth, and Vice President Duncan Hunter, were able to say the same thing to both GWB and Karl Rove...
It's LOOOOONNNNGGGGGG over due and some one needed to tell that POS to STFU.
I love that animation....the other day I tried to host it on Tinypic so I could post it here, but I guess it was too large a file.
There are a few socialist democrats I wish he would say that too as well!!!!
Hayworth forgot to mention how forcefully Mexico defends its southern border.
BTTT!
Mexicorruption ran away from diplomatic rules. Employees of Mexicorruption's myriad consulates and Mexicorruption's government employees visiting the U.S. -- including Fox -- constantly meddle in our affairs at all levels, private and public.
The arrogance! Mexicorruption extends its nation beyond its borders. It's their official policy. Their sovereignty overlaps ours, they are the government for their nonresident citizens. We provide the money to fund Mexicans' "human rights," both mainline Rats and Pubs say it's what we must do.
President Bush and his supporters make a big mistake believing that it must be this way lest they lose the support of Americans of Hispanic origin. Got that, Karl?
Many thanks for the picture of Congressman Hayworth! I've seen him many times on Fox & Friends and like what I saw and heard. I think he'd make a fine President of the U.S.A.
Music to my ears.
