Heaven forbid we act as a sovereign nation by protecting our borders.

the Mexican government has taken out ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States. It also is hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image and counter growing U.S. concerns about immigration.

Unbelievable. Or should I say, completely believable?

Wake up, Washington.

Perhaps they will block our wall with a wall of their own?

This is truly getting to the point where it is ridiculous beyond belief.

**This is the quote that gets me, and I think that most of Mexico feels the same way**

"We learned to believe in the United States. We have a binational life," he said of Zacatecas, a state that has been sending migrants north for more than a century. "It isn't just a feeling of rejection. It's against what we see as part of our life, our culture, our territory."

Since Mexico is for this invasion of the United States it is an act of war which should be reponded to in kind.

"says the proposals could stem migration"

That's the general idea, Sherlock.

Can you imagine the reaction if someone stated that we felt as if Mexico was part of "our territory"?

They will get the corrupt ELCA to do their bidding.

Um . . . can't we build ANYTHING we want to on OUR side of the border?

And I really don't see what all the hootin' and hollerin' is about. If you come here legally, what is the problem?! *smacks head* OOHHH! You mean the ILLEGALS might be a bit inconvenienced! DOH!

Maybe we should have annexed Mexico after we defeated them in war. That might have solved some problems.

Think anyone in the MSM will ask Fox about Mexico's border policy with Guatemala? Why do Guatemalans have no right to waltz across the border "norte" but Mexicans have the right to come and go as they please in the U.S.?

Mexico makes a huge portion of money sent back by illegal immigrants. Mexico also has the United States as a pressure relief valve for its own massively corrupt society.

Imagine if these immigrants had to stay in their own country, and fix their own problems of their own government?

THAT is what the Mexican government fears more then anything I think.

Congress should have proposed a shoot on sight bill, then they could compromise on a secure wall the entire length of the border with Mexico having to pay to feed the wild animals that would be deprived of their free meals, dead mexicans.

I think it's time the Great Satan paid a little trip to Mexico.

Mexico is not going to bear, it is not going to permit, and it will not allow a stupid thing like this wall

You don't have any CHOICE, amigo. It's our country, NOT yours. You might want to ask Saddam Hussein what happens when a punk dictator of a two-bit third world sh!thole decides to take us on.

Is it obvious that this statement infuriates me?

But then George Bush won't get invited to the dinner parties hosted by the 70 billionaire families who are family friends in Mexico. Think how immigration enforcement might impact the man's social life, why don't ya?
