Does Colorado have any mechanism to appeal the Mexican Consul General's decision, or is it something they'll just have to shut up and accept?
/sarcasm -- for the time being, at least
"these Mexicans need to drive"
Oh, then it's OK, I guess. Give them a choice. Let them drive to Mexico, or if they'd prefer not to return there, let them drive off a cliff.
"On Feb. 14, the Colorado Senate voted down a bill that would have granted driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrant workers who do not have a Social Security number, but who could provide an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS."
It's surreal that such a bill would even exist in the first place.
"“Without Mexicans, Beaver Creek could not run,” she said."
I'll type this real slow:

"Mexico needs some time — I don’t know, maybe 15 or 20 years — to improve its economy, its situation."
Tough sh*t. Let 'em do it on their land, on their time, and on their nickel.
"Mexico President Vicente Fox considers the Mexicans living in the United States 'the forgotten ones' — economic exiles who deserve more attention, Calzada said."
Oh, please, gimmeaf'nbreak. Fox and his "Spanish" aristocrats make a career out of driving the mestizo population across our border. They don't like 'em, they don't want 'em, and they have no compunctions at all about making them our problem.
The Mexican underclass's exodus into the US is nothing else than the worlds biggest case of "ethnic cleansing", and Fox and Gang come out of it smelling like a rose. (At least in some quarters.)
If nothing is done to put a halt to it, the US as we've known it is finished. Kaput. End of story.
You are correct, that is exactly what it is!
