Can anyone direct me to a source explaining where Mexico stands on World terrorism?

[cynicom]

There are two categories, with us, or agin us, Mexico and some have chosen to have a third, called "other".

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

That reminds me -- a few days back there was a story about some of the terrorists being pursued in Mexico. What ever became of that??

Mexico and the United States Fair Weather Friends?

[cynicom]

Tusc...Don't know. I read that also. In Mexico the police are the worst criminals so not much ever gets done.

Mexico made it clear they only demand to share our money. When it was clear the US was in crisis and in need of allies, Fox retreated, he said Mexico isn't against us, but we are not to expect any help either, not the Mexican military and he never offered Mexican oil. This open borders, dual citizenships rhetoric is clearly a one way street, everything for Mexico. The British who we snubbed still came and proved they are the best friend we have.

Aren't they in the we have enough problems of our own without worrying about Afghanistan category?

[lucysmom]

What is our relationship with Fox? I was surprised that Fox while visiting here a couple of weeks ago not only suggested how we should handle the question of illegals from Mexico but suggested a deadline as well. Why would we put up with what seems to be a one way relationship?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

They better be ready to recieve their millions of illegals from this country back at their doorstep.

Wait until radical Mexican groups and radical Moslem groups link up. Then we will finally learn what the phrase "Our Diversity Is Our Strength" really means. The recent events in New York are the start of the final Third World assault on the West. The assault started years ago in the Japanese Russian war. Now the Third Worlders are "In The Gates!"

Including on FreeRepublic. I have a list of Brit haters.

To them..............

I won't carry on.

I have met and dined with the youth future elite of MExico city. They're all Marxists and haters of America, and they are probably happy about what is happening to the WTC. By the way, they're white hispanics, not Indian Mexicans. Who cares about what Mexico officialy says, it is what it is not officialy saying that is most disturbing.

"Where does Mexico stand? "

They stand behind us...a long way behind us. Their only position is they want us to take in all of their refugees. When will we wise up? And when will bush get off this love affair with Fox, the Mexican president?

[Don Myers]

"Why would we put up with what seems to be a one way relationship?"

That would be a good question to ask bush, if he would answer it.

When does the bombing begin?

[FITZ]

I wasn't exactly a Brit hater but I made a few cynical comments about them before and I thought it was a good thing Bush didn't go there for his first visit. Of course many things changed on Sept 11, and we can now see who our true friends are.

Just weeks ago, Bush was telling Fox he was the best friend of the US, it's like when a charismatic person comes along, borrows your money, lets you always pick up the tab, but you don't notice because they are charming and talk a good line. Then when you you are in a crisis, that new friend is suddenly too busy for you but then along comes an old friend you'd ignored and they prove they are the true blue friend who will support you all the way.

Why would we put up with what seems to be a one way relationship?

We should not. I actually expected more out of Fox, he seemed pretty emphatic about Mexicans sharing in our economy and our freedoms.....he just apparently doesn't believe they should share in our hardships or defense of that economy and freedoms.

As far as the illegals, I think if any illegal proves they do love the US and are willing to fight on our side in our military (since the Mexican military won't be on our side), then they earned their citizenship for themself and immediate family.
