Nope. No confusion.
ILLEGAL means just that, my criminal amigo.

What Mexico has to say about anything that happens more than three feet past its border is irrelevant. I just wish President Bush would see it that way.

"The bad thing is that the American government is insisting on confusing immigration with a criminal problem." ILLEGAL immigration IS criminal, Arturo. You're the confused one in this equation.

Nope. No confusion here. This activist is either dishonest or incredibly stupid, or both.

Article: "Mexicans chafed Monday at the notion that President Bush wants to send National Guard troops to help enforce the U.S.-Mexico border, even as President Vicente Fox tried to downplay the seriousness of the move. "
And we should care what they 'feel', why?
The US has bent over backwards being a good neighbor.
It's Mexico's turn.

Mexicans chafed Monday at the notion that President Bush wants to send National Guard troops to help enforce the U.S.-Mexico border, even as President Vicente Fox tried to downplay the seriousness of the move. What's Fox worried about? The National Guard won't even be seen near the border. They will be too busy warming desk chairs for the Border Patrol on a temporary basis. There isn't any real security at the borderer.

"Mexicans irritated by Bush's plan for border troops" This coming from the country that sent troops to escort drug traffickers across our border.

"It's worrying," said Arturo Solis, an immigrant-rights activist in Reynosa, across the border from McAllen, Texas. "The bad thing is that the American government is insisting on confusing immigration with a criminal problem." What's worrying is that the government of Mexico seems to have confused what's happening on our borders with immigration.
Read my lips, Arturo. Illegal aliens don't HAVE any rights as immigrants.

How does an "immigrants rights" specialist get paid in Mexico? Percentage of the fees charged by the coyotes who smuggle human traffic ILLEGALLY?

Why should we be concerned with what Mexico thinks of our border plans? We should emulate the immigration policies of Mexico. They only want PhDs with a lot of $$ to immigrate to Mexico. If you are poor and need a job stay out of Mexico, please. Do not think of owning property or exercising your right to free speech; there is none of that in Mexico. How dumb and blind do they think we are?

Vincente doesn't have much to worry about. F&F this morning said that the number of NG's was 10,000 on Sunday, but went down to 6,000 AFTER Vincente's call to GW.
Looking back at the actual speech, however, even that 6,000 is a hedge number which could be nothing more than parsing and nuancing. The exact quote is:
"...up to 6,000 Guard members will be deployed to our southern border."
"up to" could mean half a dozen
up to 6,000. The Adminstration, instead of hiring some 2,000 new BP agents the Congress allowed for, only hired some 300.
===
Another poster in another thread found this nuancing/parsing:
Also, notice he said "reduce" not stop illegals.
We will continue to work cooperatively to improve security on both sides of the border ... to confront common problems like drug trafficking and crime ... and to reduce illegal immigration.
He still intends to keep the gates open.

Funny how history repeats itself. In the early part of the last century, Mexican revolutions and continual changes in the government warranted the stationing of US troops along the border to secure American interests from raiding by all the factions fighting in Mexico.
Villa's raid on Columbus, and the 13th Cavalry stationed there, was in response to a failure of the Wilson government on Mexican policy.
Now, fast forward to 2006. The President is now authorizing the security of the border to the National Guard, which was also used in 1916 to secure the border. It makes sense to use this force on OUR side of the border to help build the fences/walls and monitor the areas that are not as heavily travelled. The Border Patrol is thin enough on the border, the NG will only help to get more eyes to search, install the technology to locate and detain illegals as they cross.
There is an added benefit to this force in the area. If there are bandits, Mexican soldiers, druggies, the Mexican Mafia, etc, using US soil for sanctuary, drug-running, there is now adequate force to meet them head-on.

I'm sorry if this comes across the wrong way, but are the majority of Mexicans this stupid? How on Earth do you make a statement like this and not catch how foolish you sound?
