Mexico, ACLU Preparing Lawsuit Against US Over Guard Deployment(..bloodshed on our borders ?)

A representative from Mexican President Vicente Fox claims that if the US National Guard troops detain illegal aliens crossing the US-Mexico border, the Fox government will file a lawsuit against the Bush Administration in US federal court. There are some political observers who believe that the American Civil Liberties Union is preparing to assist the Mexican government in such a lawsuit. In fact, the ACLU sent a statement to the Mexican government regarding their stance on immigration enforcement.

As Congress moves forward to reform our nation’s immigration laws, the ACLU said the US must reject measures that threaten to increase the bloodshed on our borders. "Innocent peoples’ lives and liberty should not be threatened by this dangerous deployment," said ACLU Director Anthony Romero.

Following President Bush's speech on Monday night, the American Civil Liberties Union urged the president and congress to reject any measures that fail to uphold the letter and spirit of our laws and encouraged lawmakers to adopt immigration reform that protects the freedom and privacy of all in America. Conservatives are wholeheartedly in favor of upholding the "letter of the law," but it's the so-called "spirit of the law" that leads to the problems in the US on a multitude of issues, they say.

"Turning immigration enforcement policy into another military operation is not the answer. The president’s proposed deployment of National Guard troops violates the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the military from getting into the business of civilian law enforcement," says Romero.

Mr. Romero failed to mention how National Guard troops are routinely deployed fully armed for disasters such as Katrina or terrorist attacks such as 9-11. In fact, during riots and other dangerous incidents, Guard troops are deployed without hesitation on the part of elected officials.

Yep.

I know just how you feel and you can't take it personally. It's nothing, nothing that you have done or not done. I had the same situation when I taught in an inner city school. The black students/teachers/parents were full of palpable hatred against the whites.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

What sort of anti-American pervs belong to it? Just wondering.

Stop wondering. The ACLU evolved into a Communist front many years ago.

I have been covering, ( Or, as Seamole calls it...-backhoe's pseudoblog--... ) psuedo-blogging, for years, a couple of the elements in WWIV ( III being the Cold War ), in which we find ourselves engaged.

The first element?

Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:

The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:

"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:

What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.

See "ANSWER" in the poster?

Work backwards on my links to see all the shady left-wing and terrorist-enabling organizations backing this nonsense.

Don't we use the National Guard for national and regional emergencies i.e. Katrina etc

I believe We used the Military in Katrina. Th President tried to put forth a plan for greater involvement of the Military during such disasters

[IrishMike]

Very astute.

[IrishMike]

We used the coast guard and active duty military during Katrina, among other national emergencies and disasters.

Remember 'taking a nap' Blanco didn't want to activate the National Guard.

[pax_et_bonum]

Thank you.

I don't take it personally.

I believe that the first key to working with high school students is not letting anything they do or say bother or shock you.

The teacher who does has an Achilles' heel which will be his or her downfall.

This is another thing which is infuriating to my students: they know they don't "get to" me.

ACLU founder Roger Baldwin, who zealously sought to recreate America in the Soviet image, once said: "I have continued directing the unpopular fight for the rights of agitation, as director of the American Civil Liberties Union. I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control of those who produce wealth. COMMUNISM IS THE GOAL."

Any wonder why today's aclu agenda is communism?

[newcthem]

Any lawyer representing either Mexico or the ACLU should be stripped of his citizenship and shipped to Mexico. Failing this, a simple lynching by American Citizens should suffice.

[longtermmemmory]

So its OK for the MEXICAN MILITARY to shoot US border agents but the opposit is not true?

ACLU lawyers should be disbard. period.

[P-40]

Posse Comitatus only limits the use of FEDERAL troops in domestic law enforcement.

And Posse Comitatus has been largely diluted anyway.

[Dante3]

Have there been other cases where a country sues another country to change their laws? Mexico thinks that it should dictate how this country is run, and too many of our politicians agree.

As for ACLU, it jumps into anything that will damage this country.

[longtermmemmory]

How about we disbar ACLU lawyers who advocate the overthrow of the USA? (seriously that would immediatly take out 1/2 of them just on their past public comments alone.)

[chris1]

Oh they do. Seeing the Swimmer and Arbusto on the same page tells me everything I need to know about this.

Seeing Clintigula and GHWB tells me even more.

[chris1]

Give them all F's. Screw these vermin. Who is teaching them this hatred for you???????????????
Perhaps the "guests" that Arbusto says are better and harder working people than normal Americans?

[Madame Dufarge]

Found an interesting analysis of the history of Posse Comitatus.

Doesn't seem encouraging for the ACLU, but obstruction is most likely their principal aim anyway.

The Myth of Posse Comitatus

[Earthdweller]

They know the guard is not going to detain anyone. This is purely an attempt to escalate the anger within the conservative movement.

Now why would a corrupt friend of the leftists want to do that with the GOP so "together" right now? Hmmmmmm

[pierrem15]

Tying them to stakes at the border and leaving them for the coyotes (human and four-legged) would be better.

.........Have there been other cases where a country sues another country to change their laws? ...........


Don't we have a couple SCOTUS judges using international law to interpret the US constitution ??
