Mexicans Without Borders Gets Dumber
By Greg L | 8 June 2008 | Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 12 Comments

The utterly goofy reasoning of Mexicans Without Borders is on full display in their press release regarding the visit of U.N. official Jorge Bustamante this week. Once again, they offer non-specific and entirely unsubstantiated accusations against Prince William County, but this time claim that the Rule of Law Resolution specifically violates a United Nations International Convention regarding migrants. How they supposedly come to that conclusion is utterly impossible to determine, however.

Since the passage of this resolution, the human rights condition of immigrants in Prince William County has deteriorated drastically. It is a basic human right for people to be able to migrate in order to find employment and feed their families. The targeting of immigrants in this county has violated their human rights as recognized by the international community under the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.

This convention protects immigrants and their families from abusive treatment, affords legal nonresidents certain rights and protections that are already afforded under U.S. law, and requires that access to the legal system is provided for legal nonresidents. What this convention does not do is protect those who violate a nation’s immigration laws from prosecution, nor does it impose a requirement on signatories to give up their rights to establish criteria governing the admission of migrant workers.

Of particular note is Article 68 of the treaty:

1. States Parties, including States of transit, shall collaborate with a view to preventing and eliminating illegal or clandestine movements and employment of migrant workers in an irregular situation.[ed note: this refers to illegal aliens] The measures to be taken to this end within the jurisdiction of each State concerned shall include:

(a) Appropriate measures against the dissemination of misleading information relating to emigration and immigration;
(b) Measures to detect and eradicate illegal or clandestine movements of migrant workers and members of their families and to impose effective sanctions on persons, groups or entities which organize, operate or assist in organizing or operating such movements;
(c) Measures to impose effective sanctions on persons, groups or entities which use violence, threats or intimidation against migrant workers or members of their families in an irregular situation.

It seems to me that the Rule of Law Resolution, as long as it is equitable and applied equally to all foreign nationals, is specifically permitted under this treaty, not that we should ever need such permission from the United Nations to do this. Mexicans Without Borders is completely confused about the provisions of this Convention, but that doesn’t prevent them from trying to use it as a weapon against the county because the Rule of Law Resolution is an effective policy that discourages illegal aliens from unlawfully residing in our community.

The activities of some might not be so consistent, though.

Today John Steinbach of Mexicans Without Borders came to the 7-11 on Coverstone Drive to meet with the day laborers, and held a question and answer session with them, with Gaudencio Fernandez as his translator. Steinbach then spent some time on his cell phone giving a report, presumably to Ricardo Juarez, about what had happened. Fortunately, since Steinbach can’t speak Spanish, and when speaking in English he tends to be pretty loud, I was able to overhear substantial portions of his conversation.

His report had some interesting parts. I enjoyed very much him relating how he indicated that Prince William County Police will racially profile Latinos. Although Steinbach isn’t bound by the provisions of this treaty, he certainly isn’t honoring its spirit that he is so desperately, and wrongly, is trying to invoke here. Perhaps invoking that provision in Article 68 (a) and shutting down John Steinbach from ‘disseminating misleading information’ is an opportunity we should explore.
