“This is not a nation I want for an ally...”

Not a problem as a few years ago there was a saying in Mexico...”Amigo, Si! Allies, No”

Bush is looking more and more like an internationalist — a one worlder

More like? Hell, he IS a one worlder.

The sovereignty of our country means absolutely nothing to this man. He has demonstrated that over and over.

Is there any doubt remaining in anyone’s mind that Bush favors Mexicans over Americans?

Jimmy Carter now has some real competition for the title of most foolish person to ever hold the office of President of the United States.
The next time we wind up with a very stupid stray dog that wonders onto the place needing a home, I have his name picked out, George W.

...THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO ENFORCE THE DECISION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE...

What President??? Can't be our President. Sounds like Jimmy Carter. Maybe the "pressure" is starting to effect his judgement. Something sure is. Sad.

It only says he was born in Mexico and came to the U.S. as a child. That’s a very, very different thing

He may be here legally, but At the least, he holds mexican citizenship or he would have no footing with the Mexican consulate.

As a Mexican citizen he hold no loyalty to the US. Even with dual citizenship, any loyalty he might claim is dubious. If he is here legally, then how was he allowed here legally, being such a scum. We used to have requirements on residency. He should not be here and the quickest removal is legal lethal injection.

Globalist dude strikes again. Since when do international courts have priority over the US courts? Since Jorge was elected! This is sickening!

Hate to admit it but I think you may be correct.

>Where do you get that Medellin is an “illegal” out of the Fox News story.

I didn’t read the FOX story, but I am familiar with the case and the killer is not an American. I don’t know about illegal.

>Whether we like it or not, the U.S. signed the Vienna Treaty, and Treaties are equal to the U.S. Constitution under our system of government.

close, but no cigar. No treaty can abrogate or supersede Constitutional law, no matter how ms Ginsburg feels about international law and the supremacy of the communist political system.

And treaties can be legally ignored, abrogated, or unilaterally terminated.

You can’t do that with ease to the Constitution.

We are a nation of laws. Apparently we entered into an agreement at one point that would require us to notifiy foreigners of their right to contact their consulate.

I think that the word that fits best here is “Globalist” and yes, I have come to the conclusion that Bush is a globalist who believes that borders must be not allowed to deter the free trade needs of the 21 century.

And that, along with the relocation of industry at any time, means that labor must have a free hand to travel anywhere that the need presents itself at any time, as well.

Of course, our culture is doomed under this concept, but hey, whats a little thing like the pride and dignity of Western Civilization?

Please read the link at post #17. Why should this one murdering rapist be singled out for special consideration by the President of the United States? Hell Bush isn’t even siding with the American murdering rapists. These girls families deserve justice and Bush needs to stay the hell out of it.

“And they would be correct. Texas is going to tell Bush, tell the International Elite to pound sand. Unless, Rick Perry caves.”

Oh gads. You just brought up another terrible thought.

That is what Bush is going to do…Bush is going to pay off, bribe if you will, Perry to cave.

Get the picture?

yikes!

I thought this was a treaty issue or a “failure to notice the embassy” with a foreign national issue.

However submitting to the jusridiction of a FOREIGN court is just plain WRONG.

I can’t believe I voted for this guy. Twice.

Believe it. And you are in a very large group of us all saying the same damned thing. I’m beginning to think he has really lost it.
