Mexican senator calls for US to vote Democratic
El Universal (Mexico City) 5/20/10
Speaking from the US while part of President Calderon’s entourage, the president of the Mexican senate, Carlos Navarrete Ruiz, called on the Hispanic community to deliver a triumphant victory to the Democratic party in order to assist the White House in negotiating an immigration reform. The senator of the left-leaning PRD party said, “I have no problem expressing that, as I see the circumstances in the US Congress, it would be useful and would serve Mexico if the migrants give a victory to the Democrats to increase the majority in congress and this will permit the reform that is needed to protect migrants.” [Only five readers' comments followed this story. All accused their own politicians of meddling in US politics.]

Republicans reject Calderon’s request
A request by Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon to re-establish prohibiting the sales of “automatic assault weapons” was rejected by US Republican legislators, although Democrats estimate they have the power to bring it about. Republican Senator John Cornyn said, “I have much respect for President Calderon and his commitment to combat the cartels, but I don’t believe that US citizens should relinquish any of their liberties in answer to problems of another country.”

Increase in migrants deported
Despite Arizona’s disputed law SB 1070 which is not yet in effect, the number of deportations through Nogales, Sonora, has already increased nearly threefold, according to the city’s mayor, Jose Angel Hernandez Barajas. ”We don’t have to await SB 1070,” he said, “the problem is already here.” [From the wording of the article, and its reference to Central Americans, it would appear that the "deportations" are simply those departing south voluntarily rather than by official means.]

El Sol de Mexico (Mexico City) 5/20/10
Providence, RI – The state of Rhode Island is considering legislation similar to Arizona’s SB 1070. According to an official communique issued by the state, the law would authorize “competent authorities” to determine, “during legal contact with the individual,” a person’s immigration status if there was “suspicion” that the person could be illegal. The law would also provide that if the person is illegal and is in convicted of a law violation, he would be turned over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The bill was introduced by Peter G. Palumbo, a Democrat.

-end of report-
They have nothing to lose. Their country is a garbage heap, the officials from top to bottom are corrupt and their people are starving while they criticize us in our own country. First, You can thank the moron in chief for giving them a platform and then the Dems for the inspiring standing ovation. Now Mr. Mexicans, take your dog and pony show back to Mexico and leave us the hell alone. I may have to take a break from the news before the top of my head blows off.
We dont owe them shit!
okay...maybe we need to start broadcasting calls into Mexico for the people to arm themselves and rise-up against their kleptocrat government. You wanna interfere in political affairs? Well TWO can play that game!
I wonder why HE didnt get in trouble. /s

Next year, instead of making a big deal of Stinko de Mayo, I say we throw a big party on the 2nd of February.
Belated ping!
Let the carpet bombing begin...seriously... they can all go to hell and I’ll help them get there.
RC one calls for Republicans to send more guns to Mexico.
You've got that backwards. It's illegal for foreigners to interfere with or participate in Mexican elections.
I doubt the drive by media aired this to the public. However, the man is a fool, because the RATS will run this country into the ground financially and then where will Mexico’s financial assistance come from?
Typical short sighted trough feeder.
“OHHH PLEASE play that on every news program tonight ..PLEASE”
The media won’t touch it. Please send it to those you know.
