Mexican FM blasts US border plans
Herald Sun ^ | 17 May 2006

Posted on 05/16/2006 4:47:21 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

MEXICAN Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez today slammed US President George W. Bush's plan to send 6000 troops to secure the US-Mexico border and stanch the flow of illegal immigrants there, adding that Mexico has no plans to follow suit.

Mr Derbez complained in a television interview that the move amounted to "militarising" the border, enabling US troops to detain people.

Mr Bush said "very clearly" that 6000 National Guard troops will be stationed there to support border patrol operations, Mr Derbez said.

The US president yesterday said that up to 6000 National Guard troops - part-time soldiers under the authority of state governors but whom the president can call upon - could be deployed on the southern border beginning next month.

He said the soldiers would not arrest migrants but instead would provide ancillary services such as road and vehicle repair, fence building and electronic surveillance. The troops would be rotated into the border area for stints of about two weeks throughout a two-year period.

But yet stuff like this doesn't make our President boiling mad enough to call for a wall and enough border patrol personel to secure our borders! He should be blasting this guy for all he's worth about our soveriegn right to secure our borders however we see fit without permission from Mexico to do so!

You bozo! W said "up to" 6000 NG. Considering the rest of the speech, that could mean 2.

Hey Luis

Pay attention...... W changes the world.

Life as you know it is over.

The mexicans should have waited a day or two before they got all riled up. The senate clearly seems intent on letting all those who want to be parasites into the US.

On a side note: Does anyone know if "Durbin" is the Anglicized version of "Derbez"?

There is no need for a wall excepr in the minds of those who don't understand the situation.

If the Mexican FM is unhappy then it must be a good plan. His unhappiness makes me happy!
