The Mexican government is lobbying U.S. lawmakers and civic leaders for amnesty or guest-worker status for millions of illegal aliens now in the United States, working through a coalition of U.S.-based immigration rights associations, Mexican-American organizations and grass-roots Hispanic groups.

We now have almost all husbands and wives working in jobs outside the home with more professinoal people rearing their kids. So how else to enlarge the labor pool? Besides, American workers are all lazy and under-educated.

The answer is to have corporate lawyers lobby to bring a few million more Mexicans, Indians and Arabs in. Enlarge the labor pool again, and pay less for wages. Profit margins are higher as a result. And when profits are higher, that's always good for America. Right? Then blame the Mexicans.

Who will be blamed for consequential voter swings toward even more sticky socialism?

Dear Mr. Fox,

Do NOT Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200 million USD, Go straight to hell.

(Sorry, I noticed that your post wasn't quite specific enough. NOW it lets him know how MOST Americans feel about him and his illegal aliens. My question to him is why doesn't he create some jobs to keep them at home?)

"The Mexican government is lobbying U.S. lawmakers and civic leaders for amnesty or guest-worker status for millions of illegal aliens"

One of their civic leader stooges is my UNION, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) which is the fastest and largest growing of AFL-CIO cartel

"NOW it lets him know how MOST Americans feel about him and his illegal aliens"

Ever heard of the the 1.6 million-member SEIU? They sent a letter to Fox and agreed with him. They twisted the deffinition of illegal alien (they never use that) to immigrant.

Now wonder who this "UNION" votes for? SOFT MONEY?

promote a "more comprehensive approach" to get every illegal alien on the American tit.

amnesty or guest-worker status
seeks expanded education and health care
additional programs for labor, community development and access to services
"the needs and rights" of Mexican nationals living and working in this country.
improve and expand services and benefits to Mexicans
local and statewide immigration rights
associations, Mexican-American illegal aliens and first-generation Mexican migrants, feel they have a "connection" with the government of their adopted country.
in protecting the rights of Mexicans
rights of Mexican nationals in this country,
"undocumented workers,"
are protected. organize "get-out-the-vote" drives for the 2004 U.S. presidential election.
provide services
to the migrant population. US Treasury approved their use in September despite warnings by the Justice Department and the FBI that the cards were useful only for illegal aliens,
since legal immigrants have U.S. government-issued documents. Mexican nationals in the United States send $14.5 billion home each year.

(COPY AND DISTRIBUTE WIDELY. Revise and extend as you see fit, start a movement, print a petition, start a political party, confront your legislators, write letters, post posters, drop leaflets, demand, demand, demand…)

18 POINT ACTION PLAN: Border Violators

1) Close all US borders to illegal entry forthwith by any and all means possible, including military presence.

2) Maintain legitimate immigration levels at modest annual level with requirements that immigrants be employable or sufficiently wealthy for self-support if they do not intend to work, proficient in basic English and willing to be assimilated into American culture and language. All applicants shall provide prints, photos and DNA samples.

3) Legal immigration shall be awarded to individuals on a lottery basis, wherein all countries are given equal status in the immigration lottery, without regards to color or economic plight of originating nation.

4) Individuals of Islamic faith (muslims) from any country shall be denied immigration privileges or entry into the US. Christians and Jews from muslim countries fleeing religious persecution shall receive preferential and accelerated immigration privileges.

5) Detain all border violators, taking photos, prints and DNA samples of said violator while at the same time, checking for out standing warrants. If no warrants are outstanding, return border violators to home country within 20 days via commercial airline and submit cost of such action, including processing and housing costs for said violator, to country of origin. If costs are not paid within 30 days, reduce any and all aid to said country by a like amount.

6) Should any country from which a border violator originates not currently receive any aid from the US, the Justice Department shall be authorized to seize or secure liens on assets owned, managed or registered to that country to the full extent of the obligation.

7) Establish new Guest Worker Visa (GWV) category, renewable every six (6) months, for unskilled labor positions wherein all applicants shall provide prints, photos and DNA samples. Work permitted of such applicants shall be limited to one of several categories, including childcare, lawn/gardening, restaurant staff, cleaning, and the like. Families of GWV workers are not permitted to enter US, nor will the birth of a child to one of GWV status confer citizenship to either parent or child.

8) Any violation of civil or criminal laws shall result in the forfeiture of the GWV and immediate return to originating country.

9) GWV holders shall be prohibited from claiming unemployment benefits, welfare support or free medical service.

10) The originating country of all GWV holders shall be responsible for any uninsured loss caused by the GWV, including emergency medical claims and/or claims resulting from illegal actions committed while in the US.

11) Companies who hire GWV holders shall submit to the Immigration Dept the name and GWV number of that individual, along with a description of employment tasks. Companies shall be subject to fines and penalty that fail to report employment of GWV workers, or hire border violators. GWV workers shall be paid with check, having income tax withheld. GWV workers shall not be subject to unemployment tax because they are not eligible to receive unemployment compensation.

12) Border violators, or any non-citizen not possessing a valid visa, detained by local police for any reason shall be turned over to border control officials for immediate deportation action, except if they face criminal charges in other jurisdictions.

13) Border violators and GWV workers shall be prohibited from voting in local, state and federal elections.

14) Border Violators shall NOT be afforded the rights enjoyed by American citizens, as guaranteed under the constitution.

15) Public education (at institutions supported by taxpayer dollars) at any level (pre-school, kindergarten through the university level,) shall NOT be available to Border Violators (or children of Border Violators) and schools that enroll such individuals shall be subject to penalties.

16) Foreign Students (F/S) (individuals admitted to the U.S. for the purpose of attending any educational facility,) private institution or public (i.e. supported by taxpayer dollars,) must have valid student visas, such visas being in force only if the F/S attends school full-time. F/S shall be required to pay tuition, housing and related costs such that all their educational costs are fully reimbursed to the institution attended. The originating country shall pay for any and all loss caused by students while on U.S. soil.

17) Border Violators seeking emergency medical treatment shall provide pictures, fingerprints and DNA samples along with country of origin, and shall be treated then incarcerated until information provided can be verified. Originating country shall bear the costs of medical treatment and confinement.

18) Children born in the U.S. to border violators, illegal aliens or of foreign nationals in the U.S. for any reason (including temporary visitor, school or work visas,) shall not be eligible for citizenship as circumstances of birth, nor shall the parents or parent’s family members (relatives) be conferred U.S. citizenship as a result of such births.

This would do 90% of the cure by itself.

11) Companies who hire GWV holders shall submit to the Immigration Dept the name and GWV number of that individual, along with a description of employment tasks. Companies shall be subject to fines and penalty that fail to report employment of GWV workers, or hire border violators. GWV workers shall be paid with check, having income tax withheld. GWV workers shall not be subject to unemployment tax because they are not eligible to receive unemployment compensation.

Recommendations come from an advisory board of 130 members, mostly Mexican-Americans who live in the United States.

It has called U.S. immigration reform a major priority, recommending policy changes that respect "the needs and rights" of Mexican nationals living and working in this country.

This from the same people who deny the illegals voting rights in Mexico because they have left the country. The group loses all its credibility based on this alone.

They say the illegals should have the widest possible range of rights in the United States, but they won't extend the most fundamental democratic right to them in Mexico.

Mexico will be better able to achieve its full potential by calling on all members of the Mexican Nation, including those who live abroad, to contribute with their talents, skills and resources

in other words, let's get even for the Mexican/American War by raiding their treasuries through our universal talent - corruption and fraud.
