When will our government stop giving our tax money to other countries? I thought we were broke and had to borrow money from China and Japan?

“Unbelievable” would best sum this up, but watch the amnesty/open borders morons rush to Mexico’s defense.

“drawing fire from some Mexicans who accuse American lawmakers of meddling in their country’s internal affairs”

Fine, give us back the money that was taken from our paychecks, without our consent, and given to the corrupt so-called government of Mexico.

WTF? Don’t we already give enough aid to f%#ing Mexico, in the form of voluntarily importing their population?

:::::
Yes, we must hand it to Vincente Fox. He very cleverly tagged his Manchurian Candidate in the White House to let him virtually walk a large percentage of his work force across our border, not only for work, but to build an influence on American foreign policy...AND HE WAS SUCCESSFUL. In less than ten years, Mexico will have a significant degree of voting control over American policy and liberals will have more supporters. America’s soverignty will have long ago become nothing but a party joke, our laws a laughing stock, and our once southern border a wide-open path for the world to just walk into America unchallenged.

Oh, I see ....

This is “anti-drug” money.

I’m sure the flow of drugs into the USA will diminish greatly due to this aid.

This aid money sounds like a great idea.

I will cut back on the funny stuff now!

Is this the same Mexico that is literally swimming in excess barrels of oil while we subsidize their entire economy?

Enter “Leaky” Lahey of Vermont with some uncharacteristically correct logic (undoubtedly for show purposes only):

“Since when is it bad policy, or an infringement of anything, to insist that American taxpayer dollars not be given to corrupt, abusive police or military forces in a country whose justice system has serious flaws and rarely punishes official misconduct?” he said. “This is a partnership, not a giveaway.”

I guess that giving the Mexican people money does not interfere in their countries internal affairs.

Would stopping the money be meddling in their country's internal affairs?

Let's try it and find out.

Beggars can't be choosers.

We should force them to privatize their oil industry before we give them any more aid.

They don’t need 10 years. They already do have a significant degree of voting control. Really.

True — just look at how they have the entire Washington government eating out of their hands — ALL FOR POWER, VOTES AND CAMPAIGN DOLLARS FROM BUSINESSES THAT NEED CHEAP LABOR. A real social re-engineering of our society to benefit a few.
