MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS PLAYING DANGEROUS GAME

Dallas Morning News

An anti-defamation league for Mexican migrants to the United States? That's what the Mexican government is considering, taking a cue from American Jews in its latest effort to protect and defend the presence of its own citizens here illegally.

In doing so, Mexican officials have appropriated another concept from Jewish culture: chutzpah.

The Dallas Morning News reported last week that the Mexican government, anxious about increased deportations from el norte, plans to give its 47 consulates in the United States more authority and resources to fight for Mexican nationals living here -- even if they're present in violation of the law.

The gall of this government, inserting itself into American politics to aid and abet lawbreaking by its citizens. Really, it takes one's breath away. Would Mexico dare tolerate this sort of activity by U.S. diplomats? If the White House had any spine, it would call in the Mexican ambassador and demand that his government cease and desist this behavior incompatible with diplomatic status.

As nervy as this new initiative is, it is by no means the first time Mexico has used its consulates to undermine American law and nationhood.

You will recall that infamous comic-book guide, published by the Mexican government, showing its citizens how to enter the United States illegally and avoid detection once here. How is that substantially different from the Dallas consulate's recent advisory that Mexican citizens should stay out of Irving, Texas, to avoid being deported? It's to be expected that a consulate would offer advice to its citizens on how to avoid danger when abroad. But what kind of low-rent government tells its people how to break the law of the host country without getting caught?

The idea that Mexican nationals here need an "anti-defamation league" entails the obnoxious notion that to oppose illegal immigration is, on its face, a racist position.

That's precisely the stance Mexican consulates have taken in other cases. The Mexican consul in Boston, for example, vigorously protested the arrest and criminal trespass trial of four illegals as "discriminatory and a violation of human rights."

Can you imagine the outrage south of the border if an American ambassador shrieked that a Mexican trial of Americans charged with criminal activity was a racist and inhumane proceeding?

It's no secret why Mexican officials are behaving so arrogantly: They're trying to keep their own people from turning on them.

Here's an idea: How about undertaking political, economic and social reforms to make Mexico a place where hardworking men and women can make a decent living? Where a citizen can count on fair dealing and the rule of law, instead of corruption, exploitation and violence?

Should we solve the illegal immigration crisis? Absolutely. Is racism a part of the debate? Of course, and it must be condemned wherever it shows its ugly face. Still, the Mexican government is playing a dangerous, demagogic game here and kindling a ferocious backlash from U.S. citizens sick and tired of being played for fools.

The Mexican government does not want their unskilled or illiterate citizens back in their country. They do not want to support them in any way, so they do everything in their power to help them get into the US.

They want the money they send back. It is the second largest revenue they have. IF all of the illegals quit sending money back to Mexico you wouldn't see this. It's ALL ABOUT MONEY.

I sent this to Fox Cable News. Let's see if anyone picks this up. Can someone send this to Lou Dobbs
