Does Mexico abide by the rules of the VCCR when dealing with illegals? IIRC, Mexico deports the illegals that they find in their country without any regard to VCCR regulations.
Has Rush talked about this on the show today? I wonder what he is going to say about this...
Too many times here on FR alone. God save us and our great nation.
Bull.
I fully support the President of the United States.
So far, I haven't heard him say anything. He still has two hours to go in his show, tho (hoping we hear a "peep.")
Sorry, the VCCR makes no distinction regarding legal vs. illegal immigration. That's to keep the host government from simply revoking a visa and saying "he's here illegally, so he's no longer under the Vienna Convention."
Again, do really think we contact their government every time we send one back?
We send a summary report saying "So-and-so detained on 5/5/06, deported on 5/8/06." That's the sole requirement for immigration-related offenses.
When we detain and hold them on a felony charge, that's when the requirement to allow consular visits comes into play.
Remember that EP-3E that got smacked by a ChiCom MiG 5 years ago? Technically, the crew didn't legally enter China, and the ChiComs were making noises about charging them with murder. By your standard, the ChiComs could've said "screw you, pal" to requests for consular visits, and we'd've never seen them again--and we'd have exactly zero argument.
If that's what you want for Americans, say so plainly. Just remember that whatever rules you seek to impose on foreigners will be imposed on your fellow Americans.
"I fully support the President of the United States."
Unfortunately, the President of the United States does not support us.
You fully support open borders, if the President woke up tomorrow and decided to secure the border and deport all illegals you would be screaming from the roof tops.
I disagree.
That E3-3E was given permission to land on Chinese soil.
I don't listen to the Rush show. I lurk on the threads sometimes though.
Not true - I want an increase in legal immigration and guest worker program - then we will have a real chance of getting closer to ZERO illegal immigration.
"I fully support the President of the United States."
So you support leaving our borders open to the reconquistas?
Then good riddance to you, too.
Legal or not, it would be a breaking story in the media. Giving water to illegals is also legal, but Minutemen giving water to illegals is a news story. Minutemen doing anything is news.
You would Mr Rove.
It really doesn't matter. This whole VCCR diatribe is such a weak excuse for selling out the Minutemen that you won't even hear Bush use it. If he quoted international law as an excuse for not securing the border and providing intelligence to the Mexican government republicans would call for his impeachment.
