Thread: Mexicans chide U.S. over immigration

This may have already been posted, so if it has, my apologies. Hard to keep up these days. What do I have to say? FU_ _ Mexico! I am sick to death of them trying to dictate to us what we should or should not do! But thanks to our wonderful elected officials we find ourselves more and more being controlled and dictated to by foreign Countries! Our Country is being sold out from under us and no one knows because the media for the most part is owned lock stock and barrel by the globalists. Globalism is only going to benefit those that are hell bent on destroying the working class. Well what might I ask are all of the corporations that support globalization going to do when no one can buy their products? Stupid move! When you become blinded by the money and power, you lose your reasoning. Well, in the end, all of you corporate elites and politicans are going to go down the tubes with the rest of us. Enjoy it while you can, and oh yeah, kiss your kids goodnight and tell them how much you love them and are securing their future. What a lie!

Mexicans chide U.S. over immigration

By LISA J. ADAMS, Associated Press WriterFri Jun 29, 6:49 PM ET

Opinion makers and migrant advocates in Mexico said Friday that the collapse of U.S. immigration reform plans hurts Mexican workers, U.S. employers and anti-terrorism efforts.

President Bush's plan to legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants from around the world while fortifying the border failed in the U.S. Senate on Thursday.

"This is very bad news for Mexican migrants in the U.S.," said Jorge Bustamante, special rapporteur to the U.N. human rights commission for migrants. "It means the continuation and probably a worsening of the migrants' vulnerable conditions."

The Rev. Luis Kendziersky, director of a shelter for migrants in the border city of Tijuana, said it appeared senators "are focused more on the political game than on the real needs of the people."

"According to polls, the majority of the people (in the U.S.) want legality with concessions for undocumented migrants, but the radicals make a lot of noise," he said.

Some major newspapers called the Senate's action hypocritical.

"It's obvious that the politicians of that country want laborers, but they are not willing to legalize the labor that they need," El Universal said in an editorial.

Migrants "will continue to be subjected to extraordinary means of discrimination," the daily paper said, adding that a "subculture of illegality" in border crossings also does nothing to aid the U.S. fight against terrorism.

An editorial in the left-leaning La Jornada called the decision a "triple shipwreck" — a failure for the Bush administration, the United States and Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

"The most powerful country on the planet will have to continue living, for many more months, with the scandalous contradiction between its laws and the real needs of its economy, thirsty for cheap labor to guarantee the international competitiveness of its exports, especially in agriculture."

Calderon has been less vocal in demanding immigration reform than was his predecessor Vicente Fox, whose campaign for changes in U.S. policy failed.

The president instead has focused strengthening Mexico's economy to stem the flow of workers north, while criticizing the 700-mile (1,130-kilometer) barrier Congress approved to increase security on the border with Mexico.

On Thursday, Calderon called the Senate's decision a "grave error" and a failure to find a "sensible, rational, legal solution to the migration problem."

Authorities on both sides of the border estimate that more than 11 million Mexicans live in the United States, as many of 6 million of them illegally.

Not everyone in Mexico was disappointed by the death of the bill, which would have created a system to weed out illegal workers from U.S. jobs.

Al Rojas, spokesman for the advocacy group Front of Mexicans Abroad, said the law "would have imposed prejudices, treating migrants like criminals and judging them."

"Faced with a bad law, we preferred that they approved nothing," he said in a telephone interview.

Roberto Heatley, a 61-year-old engineering consultant from Mexico City, said it was "a shame that they don't pay due attention to this problem in the United States."

"Delaying it until 2009 does not solve the problem."
