Leading members of the Senate, including John McCain and Richard Lugar, seemingly accepted Castenada's demands for open borders as a legitimate price for even tepid Mexican cooperation in dealing with the terrorist threat.Why am I not surprised?
I guess it's because they're used to working out deals where they bargain away their rights and advantages in exchange for promises from liars.
I wonder, if it were VC and NVA leaders coming along offering McCain the same kind of concessions, what his reaction would be?
(Judging from McCain's inaction and active subversion on the POW/MIA issue, I guess I have my answer.)
how about a closed border in exchange for us not dropping some bombs on mexico city?Nah, then we'd have a flood of illegals calling themselves "refugees." The victimology factor would increase by several levels, along with the attendant bleeding-heart suck-uppage.

This SHOULD have Washington doing backflips...but all we see or hear is...???...???...???
It shouldn't be too long now until the pro-illegal folks come on posting pictures of the fence.
I am getting to the point that in the next round of elections, I am not going to even consider a candidate unless they are as angry as I am about the illegal alien situation. This is just insanity. Who the heck is former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda in the war against terror except a pesky cockroach? This is MY freakin country and not his. Like Mexico assisting us with Homeland Security even makes a dent anyway. If these senators are going to tuck their cajones up their butts like popped out hemorrhoids, and cater to the Mexican barking chihuahuas, then they will not get my vote.
ugada-boogada...
My aching a**
Tell that sucker to go take a hike!
Just one tidbit of many, to use against the Pro-illegal crowd in 2006 and 2008.
No deal, mexico. Furthermore, if we do get terrorized by some a-holes you let exit your country into the U.S. by any means, consider yourselves as an instant enemy of America when the balloon goes up.
Really tired of listening to this crap.
Not a lawyer, but when the Mexican government proved itself complicit in encouraging its citizens to jump the U.S. border, it broke the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildago. If the treaty is broke, we no longer have to honor it.
Think about that, Mexico. Just STFU and quit while you're ahead.
If the USA patrols and closes the border properly how are the drug smuglers going to smuggle their drugs into the USA?
secure our border bump!
Although the above overstates the matter (the senators were more passive and deflective than endorsing of the quid pro quo suggestion), the passivity was disconcerting. The suggestion might have been made by someone, that if Mexico does not cooperate with apprehending and thwarting terrorists, it runs the risk of being legislatively labeled a terrorist harboring state, with all of the consequences. Running the terrorists down is not a quid pro matter, and suggesting that it is, is offensive, and dangerous for the future of American-Mexican relations, and you sir, should tell your friends. That is what I might have said. I know, it would not have been popular on that committee - just necessary, in my opinion.
Here's another "We're screwn" ping.
This time, they want to add a little extortion.
Very astute question. Now, we need to ask the follow-up, the real question. Who is it who is fighting to keep the border open? We don't need to ask why, that was answered by the first question.
I don't think America belongs to its citizens any longer. The day George Bush was elected president, he implemended tactics which would destroy the country as we know it. Now this pennyante politician is giving orders to the traitors who sit in Congres, and they listen and no doubt will give serious consideration to everything he has asked, because Bush has already agreed to this behind closed doors, and has signed treaties to make it legal.
The old Soviet Union is alive and well in the US.
Yes folks ----- this sonuvabitch is TEACHING at a NEW YORK University....
The freaking insanity never stops!!
Semper Fi
This is another thing that has me dumbfounded. How can such a major move as effectively changing our borders be made without anyone asking us what we think about it?
