""The Arizona law discriminates only against immigrants from Mexico," Torres said. "It's only targeting those of Hispanic descent."

I find it interesting the Torres and Co. don't include other Hispanics from Central and South America who are attempting illegal entry. It's all about their poor Mexican compadres.

Let's ask Torres and Presidente Calderone what they think of the poor migrants being stopped at Mexico's southern border with guns, and much more punitive deportation laws.

What does Torres and Calderone say about those poor people who come from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, parts south from South America, and cross Mexico's border? How are they treated?
Answer: Pretty shabbily, yet Calderon condemns one of our States for inforcing a State law that simply mirrors Fed law. Notice that in the Calderon/obambi meeting neither say anything about the above?

I want to hear their answers. Of course, it won't happen. The MSM (which is dying thank god) doesn't bother to question the discrepancies. It's all about associate reporters, and full reporters, and editors who have their socialist agenda for decades. Think early '70's when Newsweak and Time magazines were promoting the coming ice age. Now, because of their PC, they ignore and more detrimental element to our way of life.

That said, I also have a problem with Canadians and Europeans who overstay their visas. I don't give one crap where illegals come from, they are breaking our sovereign laws and should be deported once identified, including any Scottish persons, which is my heritage. Kick them all out!

The ultimate solution is put the hammer down on American companies who hire illegal aliens, from what ever country. Arizona started back some years ago, and along with their new laws are experiencing less illegal immigration and less gun fights and less human smuggling. Unfortunately, they still experience "coyote" rapes as seen on the panties hanging on trees on the paths in Cochise County.

I'm not a violent man, but I'm starting to think it may time to shoot the pr**ks on site.

Movie: El Norte (1983) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085482/

Plot summary:
Mayan Indian peasants, tired of being thought of as nothing more than "brazos fuertes" ("strong arms", i.e., manual laborers) and organizing in an effort to improve their lot in life, are discovered by the Guatemalan army. After the army destroys their village and family, a brother and sister, teenagers who just barely escaped the massacre, decide they must flee to "El Norte" ("the North", i.e., the USA). After receiving clandestine help from friends and humorous advice from a veteran immigrant on strategies for traveling through Mexico, they make their way by truck, bus and other means to Los Angeles, where they try to make a new life as young, uneducated, and illegal immigrants. Written by Ed Cannon ecannon@mail.utexas.edu

I saw this movie when it first came out.

The Guatemalan brother and sister are portrayed as having a very rough time in their journey through Mexico and the brother is encouraged to pass himself off as Mexican, even down to using the proper swear words. They finally get to Los Angeles.

It's a story told from their point of view as political refugees, and the audience is supposed to sympathize. I don't recall that at any point in the story they sought political asylum and a path to obtaining legal status in the U.S. The sister dies of infections brought on by rat bites she got when they were traveling through a secret tunnel from Mexico into the U.S. The brother passes up a job opportunity in distant Chicago to be with his dying sister, and ends up as a bracero waiting on a street corner with the other illegals.
