The issue is to put the ONUS on THE MEXICAN CONSULATE in DENVER or if necessary the consular section of the Mexican mission to Washington, D.C. Tell them clearly you want them to cooperate with the deportation proceedings and to not obstruct the laws of the host country, and two, if they would be so kind, to counsel the young boy on his academic options
in Mexico, introducing him to their many universities, and making that FULLY THEIR BUREAUCRATIC RESPONSIBILITY and TAX/TIME BURDEN not Uncle Sam's, and forcefully go on the offensive and throw off ANY suggestion that the young man is entitled to pursue his education any further in the United States due to his ILLEGAL STATUS.
Tancredo needs to go into this HARD with this kind of approach the Mexican consulate cannot wiggle out of nor the liberal media can spin to make him look like an ogre. We have already lost one good conservative congressman due to the illegal Mexican vote in California; how can we appease any further and lose more Congressmen or the nation for that matter!?
I think I agree with this tack that AIT suggests wholeheartedly. To any honest person it would show the Mexican government guys to be what they are: mooches whose marching orders are to try and subvert and undermine U.S. law any way they can, and most importantly, to try and chisel every last dollar out of the U.S.
If Tancredo were to put it this way, and expose the agenda of the Mexican government through their consulates, then I agree that he would avoid the negatives that might be associated with going after one family.
You both said don't back down, and I think that's right. It just has to be done from the right angle. And beating up on the slimy, paws-in-our-wallets Mexican Consuls is a winner all day long.
