MEXICAN Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez today slammed US President George W. Bush's plan to send 6000 troops to secure the US-Mexico border and stanch the flow of illegal immigrants there, adding that Mexico has no plans to follow suit.
Mr Derbez complained in a television interview that the move amounted to "militarising" the border, enabling US troops to detain people.
Mr Bush said "very clearly" that 6000 National Guard troops will be stationed there to support border patrol operations, Mr Derbez said.
The US president yesterday said that up to 6000 National Guard troops - part-time soldiers under the authority of state governors but whom the president can call upon - could be deployed on the southern border beginning next month.
He said the soldiers would not arrest migrants but instead would provide ancillary services such as road and vehicle repair, fence building and electronic surveillance. The troops would be rotated into the border area for stints of about two weeks throughout a two-year period.
Ever notice these Hispanic Bozos never mention the rotten conditions under which they expect their poor people to live?
I don't see them making one move at all to improve the life, education and health of their own.
They sit around with their beer and cigars mocking Americanos.
Get a wall. I'm sick of all the junk we have to listen to - in order for the people of the U.S. to protect their own country from abuse - and that's what it is - abuse.
Maybe one way to stem the tide of illegals is to require they do four years of military service before they can become legal. I wonder what would happen?
How are we to expect respect from powerful nations -- such as Russia and China, when we roll over and say fetch to a third world country like Mexico?
So what?
