Diplomacy may be the art of lying for one's country, but Mexican diplomacy requires taking that art to virtuosic heights. Mexican officials here and abroad are involved in a massive and almost daily interference in American sovereignty. The millions of illegal Mexican immigrants in this country are here thanks in part to Mexico's efforts to get them into the U.S. in violation of American law and to normalize their status once here in violation of the popular will. Mexican consulates are engineering a backdoor amnesty for their illegal migrants and trying to discredit American immigration enforcement – activities clearly beyond diplomatic bounds. Mexico's governing class is not content simply to unload the victims of its failed policies on the U.S., however. It also tries to ensure that migrants retain allegiance to La Patria, so as to preserve the $16 billion in remittances that they send to Mexico each year. Mexican leaders have thus tasked their nation's U.S. consulates with spreading Mexican culture into American schools and communities. Given the American public's swelling anger about illegal immigration, it's past time for Washington to tell Mexico to cease interfering and for the Bush administration to start enforcing the law....

I haven't checked to see how the article changed.
Hell to the Chief I mean hail (sarc)
There must be a conspiricy amongst numerous govts.
Well, when President Bush's Ambassador to Mexico marries the Corona Beer Baroness A14; whose side do you think he is on?
If it was anyone else that was appointed - they would have been forced to resign when they married into money of the country they are ambassador to- big ethical conflict, and of course there are federal laws being broken.
Definitely not the side of US Taxpayers and Citizens.
No demands for reciprocity from Mexico - at all.
No demands for Mexico to clean house from corruption.
No demands for the security of US citizens on the border.
No demands for Mexico to become capitalist or change their socialist ways, so their citizens can improve their lives at home, instead of illegally coming here.
Pesos for the RNC and RINOS.
Can you refute her premise, with facts, Ben?
I doubt it.
Definitely not the side of US Taxpayers and Citizens.
No demands for reciprocity from Mexico - at all.
No demands for Mexico to clean house from corruption.

Exactly right -- and is it not GROSS HYPOCRISY when GWB bashes that Communist moron in Venezuela, Chavez, for being what he is, but GIVES A FREE PASS to one of the most CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS on the American continent.
Tell me Washington has the interests of the American citizen as a top priority, and I will show you a liar that makes Clinton look like a sweet little Boy Scout!!!
Mexico predicting emigration growth
MEXICO CITY The number of Mexicans leaving their country – almost all for the United States – has reached 400,000 per year and will continue to grow for several more years, Elena Zuniga, head of Mexico’s National Population Council, said Friday.
For several more years? You mean like until Jorge is out of office?
One would have to wonder why the adjoining country, seperated by only a meager river or a falling down barb wire fence can account for only 55%. You would think it would be 95%.
the author is kidding and the mexican government has no desire to not continue breaking international law, American law, state and federal law of a soverign nation named America, but of course then there is our politicians. You guys remember them, the number 2 reason that there is more than 1 reason.
I forget the rest.....
besides when and if there is already a number 2, and remember just how bad and smelly that is............
and think about something worse, and then you realize there is more than this planet's share of number 1 going on and remember where you get your water......
Good luck to us all......
Unauthorized Are Largely Latin American
Other Latin America -- 24% 2.5 million
Africa & Other -- 4%
Europe &Canada -- 6%
0.6 million
Asia -- 9% 1.0 million
Mexico -- 57%
5.9 million
Excuse me, change 55 to 57. BFD
These numbers are low. 10 Million is way low; real numbers may be up to 30 Million.
That would put it way above 60%
If there are 10 million: If we put 60 on a bus and sent 60 busloads per day, it would take about 7 years and 7 months to deport them.
If there are 30 million, it would take close to 22 years to deport them.
Pack 'em on trains and drop 'em off at the border, under armed guard, just like in the 30's. How many can you get in a cattle car?
I always find it laughable when someone says something is impossible.....
Heck it was impossible to go to the moon....
It was impossible for some people to be elected to lead in this nation too....but there they are sitting in Congress making the bulk of us unset....I know we should get over it... well maybe so... but we can complain about I guess...
but I know....we shouldn't complain when we see the gorilla, elephant, jackass, or whatever animal one keeps in their living room, trying to hide it and keep it out of site and then saying this situation is impossible....
sorry.....I don't buy that and thank God most Americans don't buy that either or we never would have won WWII, the cold war....yea we lost Vietnam, but dang it you can't blame that one on the military, even though perhap not you but others would care to try.....
Impossible....I don't think so.
At some point there will have to be a lawsuit filed in the supreme court, due to the disenfranchised voters that will exist in the south west. All illegal immigrants will be given voting right is the US sooner or later, the way things are going, and they will also retain their citizenship to Mexico by design, so they will be allowed to vote in both US and Mexican elections.
Since, for all argument purposes, it is both the government of Mexico and the US in agreement (under the table) who are governing the citizens of the southwest. Therefore, the legal US citizen with no vote or say in the Mexican party, will be disenfranchised (and one could argue even now) .
Remember:
1776--- Taxation without representation! That was the battle cry of the 13 colonies in America who were forced to pay taxes to England's King George III with no representation
1962--- The Supreme Court ruled that the denial of equal representation (districts equal in population size) was a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
When that large number of illegals were dumped at the border, it caused a lot social problems, crime and such. The cross border local govts conceived of the idea locating factorys at the border and allowing the goods to move back and forth without tariffs. This would give jobs to all the labor there. The Maquilladoras were born.
All these years later and the Mexico's northern border is the industrial area of the country. This causes many Mexicans to head north to work at the Maqs. If they can't get a job, they just keep heading north.
BTW, when you send the cattle cars to the border, will you also be sending the Hondurans, asians, africans, and eastern european prostitutes?
Since I did the work to figure out how many buslaods it would take and how long it would take, the least you could do is figure out how many holding pens we will need.
the problem is America isn't going to convey citizenship and citizenship rights to persons who entered the country illegally...
one can beg and plead for such an occurrance but I seriously doubt Americans are that stupid...
if you prove me wrong, then so be it....but count on a fight every step of the way from Americans who are not about to surrender our nation to persons illegally in the country.
If this happens I'll be the first to say I was wrong.
