Mexico's Hypocrisy on Immigration

Mexicans may hate the new U.S. plan to deploy 6,000 National Guard troops on the border, but five years ago they cheered President Vicente Fox for sending thousands of Mexican soldiers to crack down on their southern frontier.

Hispanic-rights groups are enraged over U.S. efforts to criminalize undocumented aliens—yet since 1974, sneaking into Mexico has been punishable by up to two years in prison. Foot-dragging on amnesty? Fox has spent the past five years urging the United States to upgrade the status of millions of illegals from Mexico. Meanwhile, his own government has given legal status to only 15,000 foreigners without papers.

That's it. I'm not buying a condo from baja.

[defenseman]

You'd be nuts to buy one down there anyway. They can pretty much snatch it from you anytime they feel the need. ...dman

the pot calling the kettle black ... the Mexican govt. is a bunch of hypocrites (not that our govt. is much better). Both govts are conspiring against the American taxpayer and future of our country.

Bingo.

Bush and the corporations whose interests he represents are globalists who couldn't give a tinker's f_ck less about America - they only care about profits.

These vermin would love to have the same power over Americans that Vincente Fox has over Mexicans.

The most surreal aspect of all this, IMO, is the way so many middle-class Americans voted for their own extinction by supporting Bush. And those who tried to warn these people that they were being duped were shouted down and called "traitors" or denounced as "unpatriotic." :pity:
