Darn, we have upset some Mexicans
Unless you have been living under a rock or you are another brain dead idiot who has no time to keep up with current events you know that the immigration bill is dead. Well, south of the border there are some who are not very happy that we refused to give 12 million law breakers amnesty.
"This is very bad news for Mexican migrants in the U.S.," said Jorge Bustamante, special rapporteur to the human rights commission for migrants at the United Nations and former president of El Colegio de la Frontera Norte in the city of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California.
Bad news for the Mexican migrants (aka border jumping law breakers) huh? Well then it must be good news for America. Somone should tell Jorge Bustamante (and Jorge Bush) that we are not in the business of passing laws that will benefit Mexicans but rather laws that benefit Americans. I know, seems like common sense, but for some reason it is not.
The Rev. Luis Kendziersky, director of "Casa del Migrante," a shelter for migrants in the city of Tijuana across the border from San Diego, California, said it appeared senators "are focused more on the political game than on the real needs of the people."
Needs of what people? No I am pretty sure they got this one right, they were focused on the needs of the American people.
Editorials in Mexico's major newspapers said the Senate action was hypocritical.
"It's obvious that the politicians of that country want laborers, but they are not willing to legalize the labor that they need," declared an editorial in the national daily newspaper El Universal, whose front page headline announced that the U.S. had "buried" immigration reform.
Well if you guys feel that way I have an idea. How about all 12 million of you grab your stuff and scurry back home and protest this travesty by refusing to come back until we stupid Americans pass a bill that would allow Mexicans to come and work here legally! Show us how important that America needs you and we will be forced to step up to the plate and get a legalized worker bill implemented pronto!
Migrants "will continue to be subjected to extraordinary means of discrimination," the editorial said, adding that maintaining "this subculture of illegality" in border crossings also does nothing to aid the United States' fight against terrorism.
Well that is just wrong. Migrants, legal migrants, will be treated with respect and afforded all of the rights that they have coming to them I think what they meant to say was illegal aliens. See there is a difference.
Since Fox left office Calderon has not been engaged as Fox was with the U.S. for various reasons.
In the wake of Fox's failure to revive the issue, Calderon has spoken in favor of a reform, but refrained from engaging the U.S. on the matter, instead focusing on what Mexico should do at home to strengthen its economy and stem the flow of its workers north.
What? Did I read that right? Fix the problem at home in Mexico?!? Now we are talking. If those clowns down there would clean up their corrupt government then maybe they would have an economy that could support them so that we would not have to.
Calderon did speak out forcefully, however, against the 700-mile (1,130 kilometers) fence Congress approved to increase security on the U.S. border with Mexico.
Ah, the true colors come shining through. Why does he care if we build a fence on our side of the border? I would suggest he heed his own advice and clean up his country and not worry about what we are doing up here.
But not everyone in Mexico was disappointed by the death of the bill, which would have creating a system to weed out illegal workers from U.S. jobs.
Al Rojas, spokesman for the Front of Mexicans Abroad, an advocacy group for Mexicans living in the U.S. and other countries, said the law "would have imposed prejudices, treating migrants like criminals and judging them."
Treating "migrants" (actually criminals) like criminals. Yeah, that is about right, just as it should be.
"We didn't think the law lived up to what migrants deserved," he said in a telephone interview. "Faced with a bad law, we preferred that they approved nothing."
Well, we can all agree on that.

As far as the fence, fences do work and that is why Mexico is against it. Nothing is 100% but the fence would keep it manageable for our Border Patrol to stay on top of it.
That one sentence would be hilarious if it wasnt so irritating at the same time. I love how people like him like to pretend the majority of our country are on the illegals side instead of it being exactly the opposite.
I just had to repost this:
Monday, May 22, 2006
SAM SMITH - Whenever a new crisis develops in an election year and it's not nature's or the stock market's fault, the odds are pretty good that it's not a crisis.Witness the sudden discovery of immigrants, a much more comfortable topic for some than Iraq, global warming, globalization, or runaway corporate greed.
The debate, however, has its bizarre aspects. For example, the Texas Rangers, who should know, list their last serious concerns with Mexican terrorists as occurring nearly 100 years ago when "when authorities in McAllen, Texas, arrest Basilio Ramos, Jr. Ramos is carrying a copy of the Plan of San Diego, a revolutionary manifesto supposedly written and signed at the South Texas town of San Diego. It calls for the formation of a 'Liberating Army of Races and Peoples,' of Mexican Americans, African Americans, and Japanese, to 'free' the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Colorado from United States. Versions of the plan call for the murder of all white citizens over 16 years of age. The goal is an independent republic, which might later seek annexation to Mexico.' Since then things have been pretty quiet, although some guerillas from another continent did considerable damage in 2001 by using the border crossing technique known as "buying airline tickets."
But it's not really about terrorism. It's about finding a scapegoat for America's increasing problems. What America's white elite is doing is just what its southern branch did under segregation: teach non-elite whites to blame their problems on a minority. It worked well then and it seems to be working now.
But those wishing to test the extent of the immigrant problem might want to conduct this quick test:
1. Has a Mexican ever fired or laid you off?
2. Was the plant you worked for until it was sent overseas been bought by Mexicans or is it still owned by the same people you used to work for?
3. Has a Mexican ever cut your pension or health benefits? Outsourced your job to India?
4. How much does Latin America contribute to global warming and its results - such as bigger hurricanes and more tornados - compared with the United States?
5. Was Enron run by Mexicans?
6. Are Mexicans responsible for NSA's spying you?
7. Do you think Mexicans or the pharmaceutical corporations are more responsible for high drug costs?
8. How much of the corruption in Washington has been instigated by the Mexicans?
9. Did the Mexicans' make us invade Iraq?
10. Are the Mexicans responsible for George bush being so dumb?
Chances are most your answers will be in the negative which is a clue to stop spending so much time worrying about immigration and turn your attention to something else.
My post was not about terrorists and I never claimed that Mexicans were terrorists but I and other clear thinking Americans can and should be upset about anyone who breaks our laws and at the same time cost us billions of dollars every year.
Here is something that you can read (notice I did not repost it on your blog).
After reading it you will hopefully taken notice of a couple of things. First I hope that you see that illegal alien households cost the American taxpayers (that is us legal citizens with jobs) 89 billion dollars a year!!
It also explains that low-skilled immigrant households in the U.S. received about $10,000 more in government benefits than does the average U.S. household, about $30,160 every year in immediate benefits and services for every low-skill immigrant household.
Are these not valid arguments against illegal immigration? I would think that they are better arguments than anything that you put together in your repost. Speaking of your repost, one of the main reasons to leave it and not delete it was to illustrate the level of your ignorance. You actually posted this as a rebuttal to my posting? Most of it has nothing to do with illegal immigration!
The problem I have with this question is that it shows you to be an ignorant racist fool! Is it at all possible that a Mexican could be in upper management or even a business owner and actually fired or laid someone off before? According to your question it would suggest that no Mexican is bright enough to ever reach such a position. What a racist idiot!
I do not work for plants. I grow some in my yard, even some shrubs and trees but I have never worked for one and I do not know anyone who has.
Nope, but a Mexican did run a red light Friday and cut me and another driver off in traffic. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing but it makes about as good of a point as your reposted question.
Also, our elected officials recently tried to give away billions of dollars to illegal aliens which would have taken Social Security benefits away from millions of Americans.
Not sure really. I do not even know what this has to do with illegal immigration (but then neither do you). But to answer your question I first need to know how much meat they eat down there. It turns out that the U.N. says that cows cause more global warming than all the cars and trucks in the world. So if they eat a lot of beef then they are destroying our planet! Find out for me and get back to me and we will see if we can determine how much destruction they are causing.
I am sorry, I am trying really hard to see the connection to illegal immigration and Enron. That takes some serious liberal logic to make that connection.
As far as I can tell I have not made or received any calls from terrorist countries which would have opened me up to spying by the NSA. I could go into details about how the NSA wiretapping works but since you are having problems making simple coherent arguments against illegal immigration any such complicated issue as this would probably cause your head to explode. At least we can safely assume that it would be a small explosion.
Hmmm? Only two choices? I think I will go with research costs and government regulations. I know it was not one of the choices but the two choices you laid out made no sense.
Ok you got me here, I give up. How much?
Nope. I would ask what this has to do with illegal immigration but I really do not want to hear your babbling response.
Are Mexicans responsible for your stupidity?
Great repost there Double Dumb (that was a sarcastic statement lest you think I was actually impressed). Please in the future restrain reposting stupidity on my blog. Again, your blog is here, please post your stupidity on your blog and leave the real intellectual arguments to those that can handle it.
This is great... on many levels.
So, after I took the time to point out the mistakes in your aforementioned drivel the very best that you can come up with is this? You actually question the validity of the report because it comes from a source that you do not trust. Of course you offer no data to bolster your argument (if we are calling it an argument) which is typical for you and your ilk. So here are a few more instances of money being spent on illegals for you to look at.
Take this, for example. Here is a documented case of a a single family that has cost the tax payers over $300,000 in medical bills and more than $12,000 a year in welfare! It goes on to tell you how "84 California hospitals are closing their doors as a direct result of the rising number of illegal aliens and their non-reimbursed tax on the system".
Or how about this report which gives more details about the problems with illegals and anchor babies.
Here is some more information for you.
The Houston Chronicle reports:
More from that same article:
Yeah, I can sure see how all of these illegal aliens who help keep the price of goods low is good for the economy (sarcasm)! We keep the price of goods down so we can pay the higher taxes? Smart, very smart.
I could go on and on. Honestly I even enjoy debating with people who have different ideas than mine because it gives me a chance to question my thinking and see if it is able to stand up to scrutiny. The problem is that you have no ideas of your own. If you do you have yet to express even one of them. Please for your sake try to refrain from putting your stupidity on display for the world to see.
People forget that the issue of illegal immigrants are not solely Mexican people. We do have a problem with illegal immigrants crossing the border without having legal status in our country... I agree.
However, I feel that this issue is something our government influenced to make us blind to the real issues that we are facing... for example people dying in masses in the War in Iraq.
I think like you .. people are missing the big picture.
