Mexican Reactions to the U.S. Rejection of the Immigration Bill

Frontera NorteSur

Widely condemned across Mexico’s political spectrum, the US Senate’s failure to pass an immigration reform bill has touched off reactions that could influence the course of Mexican politics as well as US-Mexico bilateral relations.

In the wake of the recent vote, legislators from the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) demanded that the administration of President Felipe Calderon adopt a more aggressive defense of undocumented Mexicans in the United States.

Ricardo Garcia Cervantes, the chairman of the North American Foreign Relations Committee in the Mexican Senate [and a member of the National Action Party], contended that Mexico’s federal government “has to do its jobâ€

This shows how dependent Mexico is on remittance payments from citizens working in the US - a sign of how sick their economy really is in human terms.

If we look at what Mexico says all the time we would be running in circles trying to please them.... Mexico plays Games.,,,, take home you little ambassador take home all your drug dealers.... and for Americas sake take back home all your people.... do this quick cause that fence is going up… It is not Any one in Mexicos job to tell America what to do…

Looks more like a study in Marxist policy to me. Advocation of a totally free and open border. How many people would rush across such a border? From Argentina to Mexico, would we see a stampede of humans? How long would our society last under such conditions?

Urge Mexican citizens in the U.S. to "demand" immigration reform here in our country? Perhaps something more than letter writing campaigns????

This type of article should be included in the New York Times. Highly reguarded(?) Mexican officials making such demands on it's citizens (illegal aliens) here in this country to influence our government officials to grant amnesty?

Dark and nefarious forces at work here.

Gee, if we did away with birhtrights, benefits and clamped down big time on our employers, do you think Mexico would want to make war with US? Ha! Small minds from a small country--too bad it couldn't be great minds from a small country!

Goody, goody!
Which one is going to be my house?

Mexico continues to try to make their citizens our responsiblity because they don't have the will to straighten out their own country. Well, Mexico better get ready to take their people back because the American citizens are not going to take it anymore.

For his part, longtime Mexican political leader Porfirio Muñoz Ledo noted the irony of the immigration bill’s defeat at a time when Mexican residents in the US are reportedly consuming more than other US residents, and driving economic growth.

If they would all go home and stop "consuming" our fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat, poultry, etc, the farmers wouldn't need the illegals. If they stopped using our schools, roads, and hospitals, our taxes could help the farmers pay enough to get the labor they need, and maybe improve schools, roads, and hospitals. If they stopped buying our houses, and stopped using section 8 and rental subsidies, and moved out of trailers and apartments, rent and mortgages would go down in price, and illegals wouldn't be "needed" to build more. They are not driving economic growth, they are overcrowding, and using up limited resources like (I live in AZ) water. I have a friend with a child who has type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes who had to wait over 6 months just to get an appointment with an endocrinologist because so many illegals have type 2 diabetes (usually- not always) caused or exacerbated by eating/weighing too much and very common in Mexicans living in the US where they have even more access to food) and there are only so many doctors specializing in that field to go around. So they also take precious resources like doctors who can only see so many patients in a day. 6 MONTHS for an appointment for an American child??? And this is "helping"?

'Demand' is in this article 3 x's!!!

When are our government officials going to 'demand' that Mexico's government take care of their own instead of relying on the U.S. to be their escape valve?

Unbelievable!

Absolutely right. I'm sick and tired of them DEMANDING any thing from us. They should kiss our feet and say THANK YOU because we can't do it ourselves. These people really are arrogant and stupid.
