Mexican officials lobby for border issues in Washington

WASHINGTON - A delegation of Mexican government officials lobbied congressional offices here Thursday, seeking support for a proposed U.S.-Mexico border council and asking that Congress press ahead with controversial work on immigration sidetracked by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.

I get so tired of people of Mexican ancestry, whether they be politicians from Mexico or one of the Mexican civil rights groups here in the United States, constantly demanding amnesty for the millions of Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States. They only want the United States to grant an amnesty because it would mostly benefit "their people".

These advocates keep chirping about how wonderful diversity and multi-culturalism is for the United States, but they seem to think that just means letting in more Mexicans. I wonder how the Mexican amnesty advocates would feel if the United States let in about 20 million Chinese nationals over the next 10 years. While we're at it, let's let in another 20 million people from the various countries throughout Africa. And perhaps another 20 million from India and Pakistan. Now that would make us a truly diverse country.

But something tells me that the Mexican politicians and Mexican civil rights groups wouldn't like that idea very much because it wouldn't benefit Mexicans. "Mexicans helping Mexicans", that's what it is all about. It is nothing but pure, unadulterated racism on their part and patriotic Americans like myself are sick and tired of it.

While we're at it, let's let in another 20 million people from the various countries throughout Africa.

Check the link in post 17 if you haven't done so already.

You are not the only patriotic American that is sick and tired of it. There are a lot of us here that are with you. Unfortunately this administration is not with us. Bush did not create this immigration problem but he could darn sure fix it with the stroke of a pen.

As Bush said in one of his speeches about the war on terrorism---if you are not with us, you are against us. Obviously he is against us.

You bring out an excellent point that the Mexicans and their special interest groups are only singing the diversity tune because Amnesty benefits Mexicans and Mexico. Indeed, if diversity meant importing 20 million immigrants from some other country these very same Mexicans would be up in arms about it. There would be no “diversity is beautiful” in their language. And at the center of this there’s George, happy once again to sell more of America’s sovereignty by entering deals where the benefit goes to another country while American citizens hold the bag. You don’t have to be a conspiracy buff to see what is happening here.

By the way, isn’t it enraging to hear Mexican politicians talk about how great diversity is for America while Mexico retains one of the most stringent immigration policies in the world? Where is Bush in telling the Mexico that they need more diversity? As usual diversity only works one way. These Mexicans must get a good laugh about how stupid and weak America is when they talk behind closed doors. Or maybe this diversity talk is really just their way of cynically laughing in our face as they unload another bad one-way deal on us.
