Creel slams comments by Garza on economy

Diplomatic friction between Mexico and the United States continued to flare on Saturday, as Interior Secretary Santiago Creel spoke out against earlier comments by U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza.

"Yet again, we will not accept declarations on internal situations that only concern the Mexican people," Creel said. "We are aware of our strengths and shortcomings here, and we don't need foreigners coming to tell us."

This is the second time Creel has criticized comments by Garza in 2005. In January, Garza published a letter explaining a U.S. travel advisory warning of drug violence in the border region and Tamaulipas in particular. Garza later defended the advisory, saying it was his duty to alert U.S. citizens of dangers.

On Friday, Garza spoke before a summit of U.S., Canadian and Mexican officials, saying Mexico needed to do more to combat its violent drug trade and that depending on remittances from migrants abroad and high oil prices was not a feasible economic policy.

Former Chihuahua governor and presidential hopeful Francisco Barrio Terrazas, from Creel's National Action Party (PAN) also criticized Garza for the comments about Mexico's economy.

"We have the lowest rate of inflation in 30 years," Barrio Terrazas said, defending the economic policy of President Vicente Fox's administration.

The diplomatic tension comes on the back of an announcement by the administration of President Vicente Fox that a letter will be sent to the U.S. government condemning tough new immigration laws signed by U.S. President George W. Bush last Wednesday.

The measures call for the extension of a border wall dividing the nations outside of San Diego, and increased obstacles for undocumented migrants towards getting drivers licenses.

"Yet again, we will not accept declarations on internal situations that only concern the Mexican people," Creel said. "We are aware of our strengths and shortcomings here, and we don't need foreigners coming to tell us."

Hallelujah!! They don't want foreigners comin' to tell them anything....GREAT!! If they don't need our advice, then they sure as heck DON'T NEED OUR MONEY!! Cut off the $15 Billion in Aid, Confiscate under RICO the $16 Billion sent to Mexico in cash payments through Western Union type cash sending organizations like they are doing in Maryland!! Leave the Mexicans alone to manage their affairs 100% ON THEIR OWN!!

Garza later defended the advisory, saying it was his duty to alert U.S. citizens of dangers.

Say What??? A public servant of the USA on the public DOLE that believes he has a DUTY to US Citizens!! How did he slip into this Administration!!

GO TONY!!!!

On Friday, Garza spoke before a summit of U.S., Canadian and Mexican officials, saying Mexico needed to do more to combat its violent drug trade and that depending on remittances from migrants abroad and high oil prices was not a feasible economic policy.

Tony, you're RIGHT.....a nation relying upon the profits of criminal drug, trafficking, and illegal immigration does not have a feasible economic policy by American Standards.

"We have the lowest rate of inflation in 30 years," Barrio Terrazas said, defending the economic policy of President Vicente Fox's administration.

Barrio.....we don't give a HOOT about your 'Inflation" rate over the past 30 years. The only "RATE" we care about is your illegal emigration RATE to the USA!!

Barrio and Vinny.....we're DONE with you. You are not the Future of Mexico. Mexican Citizens.....rise up and GET THESE BEANHEADS OUT OF YOUR GOVERNMENT!!

We'll Stand WITH YOU!!!

DO IT!! Whatever It Takes Before these Beanheads and their Cronies Ruin Your Agricultural and Forest Lands.......FOREVER!!
