A reader asked me to check into information that President Bush was pushing a massive foreign-aid package to Mexico to help them secure their southern border against the flow of illegal aliens from Central America.
We cant even get our own border straight, and we are going to provide Mexico with funding so they can solve their problem, the reader fumed. I doubt the Central Americans are staying very long in Mexico anyway. We know where they are going!
Too outrageously outrageous to be true?
Well, I checked it out and its even worse than the reader described. Far worse.
The plan is called The Merida Initiative. Seems that the White House has had this plan in the works for nearly a year with little congressional input on either side of the border.
We cant finish our own border fence, properly supply our immigration agents and border patrol with all the equipment and resources they need, or get our house in order. Yet, the Bush administration wants to fork over $1.4 billion to Mexico and Central Americawith much of it going into the hands of corrupt law enforcement officials and government bureaucrats who have worked tirelessly to undermine our immigration laws. The funding is tucked into the 2008 supplemental budget.
Just buy the damn thing. Make it the 51st state of the union.
I love Michelle, and I know that rousing the rabble equals attention and bucks, but this country has for decades been supporting most of the hemisphere in whatever screwy programs they were fronting. I knew that in junior high and I’m long beyond that.
Canadians want to be where it’s hot and sunny. Many of them visit Cuba’s little resort for them in order to do so. Mexicans want to move north, where they can be cold and cavort with “gringos.”
Make Mexico a province of Canada.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Michelle Malkin ping list...
I am so mexicanned out.
Oh, Michelle is so cute!
And she’s one smart cookie, too! Glad she’s on track against this latest border betrayal.
Plan Columbia totally failed and it cost 6 Billion. We are getting a bargain price for failing in Mexico.
It’s part of the North American Union plan. Mexico’s southern border is to be our new southern border. Yuck.
And they will all vote republican. And more than pay for their social costs.
2010 is coming fast.
There’s a deadline to meet.
Nice pic. man, there’s just something about hoop earrings...
...or flawless skin.
I think that's exactly what is happening. Governments from both US and Mexico are working hard to remove barriers to annexation.
Lot's of money to be made in building Mexico's infrastructure. Mexico is rich in natural resources and available labor. Annexation is the long-term plan to save Social Security.
Exactly.
