Our wonderful Amigos to the south strike again.

"Mexico's opposition to the United States in the Security Council could hurt its relationship with Washington on issues more important to Mexicans."Immigration? HAHAHAHA Guess again, they're called Illegals again now. Pretty soon they will be called target practice if Mexico doesn't make a serious attitude adjustment. The American people, and the President have had about all the $hit we're going to take from these banditos south of the border. While we're going great distances to own some Arab oil fields, the ones in Mexico would be like taking candy from a baby. They should remember not to poke the giant when he's sleeping.

What reason could there be for Mexico to support Iraq other than to weaken us?

How about a gentlemans bet that GWB passes Amnesty for the illegal trespassers.

I agree, true story, about 10 years ago a buddy of mine with govt credentials told me we had better watch out for Mexico, they were planning this invasion for a lontg time and the govt knew and must have just thrown in the towel.

But after the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush backed off the migration reforms Fox wanted, and Fox has faced increasing criticism at home for giving too much to the United States and getting too little.Too little? One vote for Cuba in return for food, education, jobs, and medical care for 10 million of your poor, a bailout during the peso crisis, our buying of a majority of Mexican exports, that's too little? It's unbelievable that someone would make that criticism.

MEXICO IS THE REAL ENEMY RIGHT NOW; NOT IRAQ
by H. Millard (c) 2002
I haven't heard of any incursions into the U.S. by Iraqi soldiers. Not one. I have heard about many incursions by fully armed Mexican soldiers. These Mexican soldiers even kidnapped American rancher Bob Maupin a few years ago. It seems that eight Mexican soldiers, in uniform and carrying automatic weapons crossed onto Mr. Maupin's ranch in rural San Diego County and tried to take him back across the border. Fortunately, Mr. Maupin was saved from a sure death at the hands of these enemy soldiers by the arrival of the U.S. Border Patrol. The U.S. government has tried to deny this incident happened. You can see photos of the captured Mexican soldiers at
http://www.ranchrescue.com. You can also read about many more Mexican attacks on U.S. citizens at that site. Mr. Maupin now patrols his ranch in a WWII half-track, because the federal government won't protect him.
I haven't heard about any Iraqi criminals attacking and killing American citizens on the streets of this nation. Not one. I have heard about thousands of such attacks by Mexican nationals. It happens every night all across the United States. Often, they will rob and kill American citizens and then rush back across the border where the Mexican government will keep them safe from extradition.
I haven't heard about any Iraqi attempt to change the American way of life to an Iraqi one, but I see many attempts by Mexicans to change the American way of life to a Mexican one.
I haven't heard of any claims made by Iraqis that they own large parts of the United States. Not one. I have heard of many such claims on our land by Mexicans who call large parts of the southwest U.S. Aztlan. In fact, a recent Zogby International poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans think that the U.S. southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico. The poll also found that 57 percent of Mexicans believe that they have the RIGHT to enter the U.S. without U.S. permission. Many of these Mexicans who want to retake the southwest for Mexico, consider Los Angeles to be the capital of Aztlan.
I haven't heard any Iraqis say that "California is going to be an Arab state, and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. They should go back to Europe." I did hear Mario Obledo, a prominent Hispanic and a founder of MALDEF, say "California is going to be a Hispanic state, and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. They should go back to Europe." If you want to hear more about this and similar threats to the U.S. from America's real enemy instead of imaginary ones, go to
http://americanpatrol.com.
What would the Bush administration say if Iraq set up voting booths in the U.S. and Iraqis could send representatives to Baghdad? And what would President Bush say if Baghdad claimed that the south west U.S. belonged to Iraq? Mexico gets a pass on everything.

Let's hope Lott isn't just blowing smoke.
To: John Lenin
This is a line from an article on the same subject that was posted from a Mexico City paper.
"Democrats had every intention of pushing a deal forward, but now we are in the hands of Bush," Fernandez said. "The personal relationship between Fox and Bush is tapped out. We can't expect that to play for anything. Most worrying, Bush may be angry with Fox and Castañeda for not supporting his war with Iraq."
Now, who do you suppose was speaking for the Democrat Party, that told Fox that they would push the "deal" through?

And on the Security Council, Mexico has aligned itself against U.S. positions, although many analysts say its stance has to do more with principles than friction with Washington.Now, just slow down and 'splain somethin' to me; to my knowledge the only countries we have to make more or less concessions would be the ones with veto power, correctamundo?...USA,China,France,Great Britain and but not least Russia.
Having an extra drink tonight, can anyone tell me slowly and coherently, under what UN resolutions should we even bother to have a discussion about important world affairs with a THIRD World country?...not to mention, discussing meaningfull concessions to them!
I like to have some of that Tequilla they are drinkin.......

I haven't heard of any claims made by Iraqis that they own large parts of the United States.From a young age, this is what Mexican schoolchildren are taught. This is reinforced K-12 (or K-7 as the case may be), that we took it away from them and are to be resented for it.

Why is is Mexico even on the security council? Those moochers don't even have a dog in this fight. I believe their constitution prevents their corrupt army from lifting a finger outside of their own country. If things got tough, those pansies wouldn't help their allies. Mexico is a mere obnoxious pissant in the scheme of things. They are more trouble than they're worth. We should have finished the job in 1848.

Mexico is in need of a regime change.

Those moochers don't even have a dog in this fight. We're their dog in this fight. They intend to work against us so they somehow get the upper hand over us. It's kind of like the parasite working against it's host.
