If you want to send a comment to El Diario or El Noticiero, the E-mail address is editor@editorialmac.com. I'm sure these Mexican newspapers would like to hear from us Freepers. Freep em!
The US dollars that illegals send home every payday are one of Mexico's largest sources of income. IIRC only crude oil brings in more. Fox is just upset that Congress may finally accept it's responsibility and force the administration to accept it's responsibility by enforcing immigration law.
How about a compromise. We will lay down a 1 mile wide strip of Cobalt-60 at the border except at legal points of entry.
They do have a right to criticize...and we have as a Nation, the right to tell them to have a nice steaming cup of STFU.
I recommend that Mexico boycott the US. They shouldn't send any illegals here until we tear down the entire wall.
"Mexico thinks it has a right to criticize the U.S. plan to build a 700 mile wall on our southern border to keep out people entering our country illegally."
They've got a right to criticize it. They just don't have the ability to do a damn thing about it.
As I understand it, Mexico is none too keen about folks crossing their southern border. They do not care why you crossed, you are sent back, even if you are a political refugee.
Yeah, well, we're upset with all the illegals, so we're even.
As I sit here listening to the whining of the Mexican elite, I think of Winfield Scott and Captain Robert E Lee.
As Scott's engineer and all around go to man, the US Army supported by the US Marines and the US Navy invaded, marched all across Mexico and captured the capital.
They repeatedly defeated Santa Ana at every turn, capturing the ancient capital... the Halls of Montezuma.
The Mexicans were so pleased to be relieved of the insufferable government that they offered Scott the job of King.
Keep bugging us vincente et al..... but remember Santa Ana and Winfield Scott.
I remember ATC telling my captain he could not veer left to avoid weather as it bothered other traffic redirection... well the captain answered: "you now have a problem you must solve".
That's right Mexico, bite me. We solve our problems on our territory, you solve your own accordingly and adjust, and shame on you if you can't do it.
How many illegals will be used on this fence?
And how much over budget will it run?
The paperwork alone would slow down the rate of crossing. nd think of all the possibilities for corruption.
Mexico admits poor treatment of migrants
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/breaking_news/13460590.htm
MEXICO CITY - Mexico's federal Human Rights Commission acknowledged on Wednesday that the country uses some of the same methods in dealing with illegal migrants that it has criticized the United States for employing.
The admission comes as Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez called on Latin American countries to unite against a U.S. House of Representatives bill to toughen border enforcement.
The bill, which passed on Friday with a 239-182 vote, would make illegal entry a felony, and enlist military and local police to help stop illegal entrants.
But officials of Mexico's federal Human Rights Commission acknowledged that Mexico already employs both tactics in its own territory.
"As a matter of fact, (Mexico's) population law does include prison terms for illegally entering the country ... and this is something that has been the subject of constant complaints," said Mauricio Farah, a national inspector for the rights commission.
Jose Luis Soberanes, president of the rights commission, said that Mexico also uses many government agencies, such as the police and the military, to detain undocumented migrants, even though Mexican law technically doesn't allow that.
"One of the saddest national failings on immigration issues," Soberanes told a news conference, "is the contradiction in demanding that the North (the United States) respect migrants' rights, which we are not capable of guaranteeing in the South," along Mexico's border with Guatemala.
But Soberanes slammed another provision of the U.S. immigration bill that would build 700 miles of additional fences or walls along the U.S.-Mexico border, calling it "absurd."
Especially since the Mexicans are enforcing their own southern border ruthlessly.
You ever think of that?
