Mexico's rape and plunder policy towards the USA is long overdue for payback, they have hurt millions of Americans, and now they side with mass murdering barbarians in the UN.

I know it is hard, not trading with nations that want us dead, but for me, it is too outrageous to continue to allow France and Mexico to profit from our markets while they make common cause with our enemies.

A nice, deep recession for both economies will overturn these criminal governments in two shakes, and we can push them into recession in a New York minute, both economies are hamstrung by irresponsible, obsolete and dysfunctional socialist monstrosities.

I can only speak for myself, I have no use for French and Mexican products, and I am not contributing to the enemies of America in our entertainment industry.

What if "Buy American" really catches on?
It would cause panic in the rest of the world.

It is the last straw. Mexico should be very afraid. Not of our government but of us being fed up with them.

Mexico is so completely dependant on us ---they really shouldn't mess around with not supporting us ---that's like biting the hand that feeds you. When the campesinos blocked the highways and shut down the border, they got action atainst NAFTA pretty fast. They kept their farm tariffs because Mexico can't have the border closed down.

I think Mexico's failure to back up America in the United Nations is the last straw.

I agree.

I think there should be a concerted effort to deport ALL illegal aliens. We should be an equal opportunity deporter. The fact that most illegal aliens in the US are from Mexico might prove to be a severe inconvenience to Mexico.

"He fretted that Mexicans living in the United States might suffer "discrimination, and persecution, etc."



Then tell them to go back to Mexico. These countries have some nerve! They want the all mighty American dollar but they are not interested in helping out the United States secure all peace loving nations against Saddam. How does someone justify the obvious displeasure Mexico is feeling about the United States but we are supposed to just open the borders to any and all Mexicans.

I say we bring it to a vote on Wednesday morning. Let the so called "allies" of the past do what they want to do so we know where everyone stands in this war for the next ten years. Then blow Iraq to smithereens at 1800 EST so I can watch the video while I'm eating dinner. The hell with these nations. It's time to make a point about this world and who's been paying for "peace" with our blood and our money the last 60 years.

Don't need a list. If it says Made in America, you can buy it. If it doesn't, put it back.

"Bashlash," is putting it mildly.

Actually, backlash is putting it too strongly. First of all, GW Bush is not a vindictive man. He'll still be saying Fox is his friend next month, and next year.

Plus,the American people aren't vindictive. Some here won't like Mexico for it, but, well, they didn't like Mexico before.

Now, if Mexico had sided with us on Iraq, America's attitude towards Mexico would have become more sympathetic. It might them have become even easier for Mexicans to sneak into the US, for example. This way, with Mexico obviously against us in the Security Council, nothing will change.

Undoubtedly Fox wanted to side with us, but his foolish public has too much self-defeating resentment against America.

I makes me sich to see American jobs exported to foreign contries because these same countries will not defend or support us in our time of need. I hope that corporate America will think twice before exporting anymore jobs.

I agree. This is not vindictive, but only fair to those who wait for years to enter the US legally. Unfortunately, this policy does not seem to be part of compassionate conservatism.

I have thought that the Mexicans were our good friends, have they just been pulling my leg all along? If Mexico votes with the terrorist crowd, the people of the USA will never forget this, never mind our government.

Fortunately, there is not the slightest chance of this happenning. If we had to pay high US wages for the manufacturing of all the products we use, the third world would be much poorer, we would be much poorer, and US inflation would be out of control.
