[South Texas:]Mexican congressman sees one America on one continent
KGNS ^ | Oct 27, 2009 | Ray Gomez

Posted on 10/28/2009 7:38:17 AM PDT by SwinneySwitch

Laredo Community College got a visit from a Mexican congressman today who talked about Mexico’s stance on the United States immigration reform.

Congressman Jose Medina says the immigration crisis is a human problem that begs a human solution and that the U.S., Mexico and other nations should work together to become one America on one continent.

Medina also stated his own views on immigration reform.

"I think legalization is the solution for people asking for permission to work legally in this country."

Medina was elected as a member in Mexico’s lower house of congress in 2000.

Yet Mexico has some of the toughest laws for illegals in their country.

Here's a human solution. Round up the humans who are in this country illegally and humanely transport them to the side of the boarder from whence they came. Then put up a barrier to keep them and other humans from reentering this country illegally.

Sounds like a friend of Jorge Bush.

This Mexican legislator is just another Hispano-Racist who thinks that Mexico is entitled to be in the US

Economic Anti-Americanism is the biggest threat to this country today

Of course Im sure that “Wonderfully prove” concept of “redistribution of wealth” has absolutely no bearing on the good congressman’s vision of “one America”

Thats the ticket. I once would have made a comment about corruption but weve done a lot of catching up in the last 20 years.
Garbage dump picking. At least they are willing to work.
The Chicago Tribune has a full front page dedicated to “Living in a storage unit” Nice white engaged couple with 12 year old son. The fiance Shance Palmer bundled up in a very handsome sweatshirt is on the sofa. “What me work!” The whole thing makes the USA look like the fools we have become.

I'm sure there are plenty of Mexican peasants who'd like to move in to Medina's home too.

If the Mexicans let Americans buy a big chunk of Mexico one small piece at a time, in the long run there would be better integration of the two countries.

Take Mexico for the US & assign it about ten or twelve states.

Thanks for your opinion on my country Medina.

I have an opinion to express about yours. Why is it that so many people are trying to leave a Country which has such oil and tourist wealth? Where does that money go? Why is it that the further up you go in Mexican society, the whiter and more European the citizens?

Is is possible that Mexico is run by a cabal of Euro-Hispanics who want to do as much as possible to keep the Mestizo and Indian population either ignorant and exploited, or ship them out for other people to take care of?

Yes. We need to demand reciprocity. Whatever we extend to their citizens must be extended to us if we want to inhabit their space. I’d even let them set the rules so long as the rules apply to both sides. This is true in so many areas. I am willing to play by almost any rules which apply to all the players. But I refuse to live by rules which constrict only me or by rules which change with the phases of the moon according to someone’s needs.

maybe if we started supplying Guatemalans and Salvadorans with GPS units, maps and instructions on how to sneak into Mexico they’d start to get the message.

That’s my observation too. Upper levels of government, unions and business are less Indian. Ditto in Cuba.

it would be cheaper to send them back in limo’s than to pay for their healthcare. limo rides sound pretty damn humane.

I never rode in a limo before. I think it should become an entitlement at my local park-n-ride.

....”concept of “redistribution of wealth” has absolutely no bearing on the good congressman’s vision of “one America””

From Robert Pastor’s testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:

“The illegal immigration issue remains thorny and unsolved. Ultimately, however, it is more symptom than cause: the way to reduce illegal immigration is to make Mexico’s economy grow faster than that of the U.S.

The Council on Foreign Relations Task Force Report spells out such a vision.”

http://www.cfr.org/publication/8173/north_american_community_approach_to_security.html

I wonder if the BIPARTISAN CFR vision is the path Obama is on...how else could Mexico’s economy grow faster than ours, unless ours is completely destroyed?

Let’s undo the Mistake of ‘48 — 1848 that is — by retaking Mexico and annexing it as the “Mexican Territories.” After about 40 years of crime suppression, English immersion, and general cleaning up under tight U.S. supervision, Mexico’s states could gradually and selectively be permitted to petition for admission as U.S. states. How’s that for a plan, Congressman Medina?

Well, if they are going to keep sending over their criminals and poverty cases illegally, I guess we are justified in taking over their land and using their resources to pay for their upkeep.

The Latino influence in places of power such as politicians, police, judges, etc. will unfortunately lead to a level of corruption this country has never seen. Here in San Diego we have a Latino police commander who looks the other way while 12 year olds prostitutes are being ushered in to illegal encampments. Want to see what our country will look like in 50 years look no further than south of the border. All under the stupiefied public who is more concerned about who won American idol.

I think I’m okay with this, one America on one continent, with Mexico making up about 4 or 5 states in the union.
