WASHINGTON -- A group of Mexican senators announced Tuesday they are preparing to meet with state legislators in Georgia and four other states next month, hoping to head off more stringent immigration laws like the one Georgia enacted this year.The senators plan to share information with state lawmakers that shows illegal immigrants generally stay out of trouble and contribute to the economy while they are here.

Sen. Carlos Jimenez Macias, a member of the Mexican Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, confirmed those plans Tuesday at a workshop on immigration reform in D.C. at the German Marshall Fund, a nonpartisan public policy institution.

If they are such stellar citizens why is the Mexican government working so hard to keep them from returning to Mexico? Hummmmm?

Rather than take care of their own poor and uneducated, corrupt Mexican politicians’ idea of a social welfare policy is to encourage their lowest classes to go North.

Mexico, solve your own frigging employment problems, don’t send them here! We don’t want them!

I'd say, bring it.

Maybe they want assylum.

Hmmmphh ... "Senor, you are treating us very badly in your country"

OK ... release every American in your jails and we'll talk.

"illegal immigrants generally stay out of trouble and contribute to the economy while they are here."

Mexico returns illegal migrants to Cuba

“The senators plan to share information with state lawmakers that shows illegal immigrants generally stay out of trouble and contribute to the economy while they are here.”

That sounds like a good reason to make legal immigration more available. It doesn’t sound like a good reason to encourage more illegals.

They should tell them to pound sand. If the state legislators meet with mexican senators who would constitute a foreign delegation, then the POS administration could concievably go after them for conducting foreign policy talks which constitutionally is a federal privilege. This is not setting up a sister city or trying to get them to buy more peanuts from Georgia and even that involves the fed.

I hope someone asks these Mexican Pols - “so how exactly do you handle illegal immigrants in Mexico from places like Guatamala and Honduras who are in your country?”

I would just hand the Mexicans a copy of their own immigration laws and say, “You want to see some stringent immigration laws, take a look at these.”

This is totally outrageous. The states aren't required to meet with a foreign government. Thought we had a state department or a president. This is crazy.

Whenever you think things can't get any more out of control, stuff like this happens.

Mexico has a lower unemployment rate than the US. Their problem is they want to get rid of the dark skinned non-Europeans.

Oh, for a dozen state legislators who have the nerve to invite the Mexican senators, and then turn the tables by lecturing them for an hour or so on the shortcomings of their OWN open cesspool of a country — and then post the entire proceedings to Youtube for all to see.

Georgia might want to ask a few questions about how illegal immigrants are treated in Mexico.

“...illegal immigrants generally stay out of trouble and contribute to the economy while they are here.”

So?

They’re still CRIMINALS if they’ve come here ILLEGALLY!

Laws may not mean anything in Mexico, but the rule of law is still important to some of us here.

"For Macias, the issue is personal. He said he illegally entered the United States when he was 17 to find work and lived for a time in Chicago."

I owuld love to have a word with these pompous amigos....

I have several pertinent questions for them:

(1) Where is the honor of Mexico?

(2) How much are you willing to compensate the taxpayers of America for the damages done by your criminals and negligent children to our loved ones and private property??

(3) Why do you expect us to feed your children and grandchildren thru our social programs and medical systems??

(4) How do you feel about the US Congress passing legislation declaring illegal immigrants must register and qualify as economic refugees in order?? -- periodically reporting to immigration control officers;
....And subject to immediate deportation without further hearing upon conviction of any single felony -- or multiple misdemeanors??

--FINALLY---

(5) What us your opinion concerning the USA asking the United Nations to declare Mexico a failed state?
