"...NOBODY talks about Mexico getting IT'S act together...."

Nobody except Fred Thompson. Excerpts from one of his Paul Harvey substitute commentator appearances:

" President Calderon doesn’t think much of our border policies. He criticizes our efforts to secure the border with things such as border fencing. He says that bottle necks at U.S. checkpoints hurt Mexican commerce and force his citizens to migrate illegally in order to make a living (and of course send money back to Mexico). He apparently thinks we should do nothing except make American citizens out of his constituents. .....

I think its time for a little plain talk to the leaders of Mexico. Something like:

"hey guys, you’re our friends and neighbors and we love you but it’s time you had a little dose of reality. A sovereign nation loses that status if it cannot secure its own borders and we are going to do whatever is necessary to do so, although our policies won’t be as harsh as yours are along your southern border. ...."

"My friends, it’s also time for a little introspection. ...you might want to consider your own left-of -center policies. For example, nationalized industries are not known for enhancing economic growth. Just a thought. But here’s something even more to the point that you might want to think about: What does it say about the leadership of a country when that country’s economy and politics are dependent upon the exportation of its own citizens?"

EXCELLENT! Damn, I must admit I was a Duncan Hunter man 100% but this Thompson is changing my mind fast. What got me first into Thompson was that video he made answering that fat turd Michael Moore. NOBODY has ever challenged that POS except Thompson.
