How much more proof do we need of the collusion between our government and that of Mexico to turn this country into a third world cesspool? If you cannot see the destruction of middle class America, you are not paying attention!!!!!!!

Mexico, the meddling neighbor
By Heather Mac Donald
HEATHER MAC DONALD is a contributing editor for City Journal, from whose autumn issue this is adapted.

DIPLOMACY MAY BE the art of lying for one's country, but Mexican diplomacy requires taking that art to virtuosic heights. Sitting in his expansive office in Mexico's Los Angeles consulate, Deputy Consul General Mario Velázquez-Suárez insists that he and his peers do not interfere in U.S. internal affairs, including immigration matters. "Immigration is an internal discussion," he says.

But it's not quite true. Mexican officials here and abroad interfere almost daily in U.S. sovereignty.

The meddling starts with Mexico's comic book-style guide to breaching the border safely and evading detection once across. The Foreign Ministry distributes this "GuÃÂ*a del Migrante Mexicano" ("Guide for the Mexican Migrant") in Mexico; consulates along the border hand it out in the United States.

The guide does briefly remind readers that "mechanisms for legal entry" into the U.S. exist and are the surest way to get in. But the book primarily consists of "practical advice" for entering illegally: Cross when the heat is lowest; don't wear heavy clothing when fording a river; do keep your coyote in sight; don't send your children across the border with strangers.

The guide's recommendations on how to avoid detection once here are equally no-nonsense: Do keep your daily routines stable, to avoid calling attention to yourself; don't engage in domestic violence ÂÂ* the Marvel comic-type illustration shows a macho man, biceps bulging, socking a woman in the jaw.

Consulates exist to promote the commercial interests of their nations abroad and to help nationals if they have lost passports, been robbed or fallen ill. They are not supposed to connive at breaking a host country's laws.

Assisted border-breaking is just the tip of the iceberg.

Mexican consulates, like those of other countries, have traditionally offered consular cards to their nationals for registration purposes. But after 9/11, consulates began to promote the card as a way for illegals to obtain privileges that the U.S. usually reserves for legal residents.

Consulates aggressively lobbied U.S. governmental officials and banks to accept the matriculas consular as valid IDs for driver's licenses, checking accounts and other privileges. Only illegals need this identification ÂÂ* legal aliens already have sufficient documentation to get driver's licenses or bank accounts.

The matriculas flew off the shelf ÂÂ* more than 4.7 million have been issued since 2000. Every day, illegals seeking matriculas swamp the consulates. Though a consulate's right to issue such a card is indisputable, Mexico is pushing the envelope when it lobbies governments to accept the card as an official ID.

Mexican consuls routinely denounce U.S. law enforcement efforts against illegal immigration as biased and inhumane. For instance, when the U.S. Border Patrol arrested a group of undocumented aliens near the San Diego consulate (en route, naturally, to pick up matriculas), the Mexican consul general objected. Mexico's Foreign Ministry said the arrests violated a "gentleman's agreement" that its consulates could carry out their duties without the presence of law enforcement ÂÂ* in other words, outside the ambit of U.S. law.

Back in Mexico, politicians blast any hint that U.S. legislators might obstruct illegals' free pass. In May, the U.S. Congress passed the Real ID Act, which rendered driver's licenses issued to illegal aliens inadmissible for aircraft boarding and at other federal security checkpoints. Then-Mexican Interior Minister Santiago Creel lashed out. The law, he said, is "absurd; it is not understandable in light of any criteria."

In fact, the law was quite understandable. After 9/11, Congress wanted to make sure that federal authorities had properly vetted aliens given access to sensitive areas, such as airplanes.

The gall of Mexican officials goes further. After pressing us to educate Mexico's citizens, give them food stamps, deliver their babies, provide them with hospital beds and police their neighborhoods, the Mexican government also expects us to help preserve their loyalty ÂÂ* to Mexico.

Each of Mexico's 47 consulates in the U.S. has a mandate to introduce Mexican textbooks into schools with significant Hispanic populations. The Mexican Consulate in L.A. showered nearly 100,000 textbooks on 1,500 schools in the L.A. Unified School District this year alone.

"If people are living in the U.S., of course they need to become excellent citizens of this place," said Mireya Magaña Gálvez, a press attache with the L.A. consulate. "If we can help in their education, they will understand better."

The Mexican sixth-grade history book celebrates the troops who fought the Americans during the Mexican-American War. But "all the sacrifices and heroism of the Mexican people were useless," recounts the chronicle. The "Mexican people saw the enemy flag wave at the National Palace." The war's consequences were "disastrous," notes the primer: "To end the occupation, Mexico was obligated to sign the treaty of Guadeloupe-Hidalgo," by which the country lost half its territory to the U.S.

This narrative is accurate and rather tame by Mexico's usual anti-American standards. But a student in the U.S. could easily find himself confused about his allegiances. Is his country Mexico or the U.S.? Study exercises that include discovering "what happened to your territory when the U.S. invaded" don't clarify things. The textbook concludes by celebrating Mexican patriotic symbols: the flag, the currency and the national anthem.

The Bush administration winks at such Mexican intrusions with the same insouciance with which it refuses to enforce the immigration laws. The result: an immigration policy that often appears to emanate as much from Mexico City as from Washington.

GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OUR COUNTRY AND KEEP THEM OUT!!

FACT:

Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida is married to a Mexican National

Tony Garza, US Ambassador to Mexico just married a Mexican National

Carlos Gutierrez, US Secretary of Commerce, Cuban National, Mexican National, US Citizen--He is in charge of all the FTAs. He is a promoter of GMO. Fought stock-holders while Chairman of Kelloggs that were trying to get Kelloggs to stop purchasing GMO (genetically-modified organisms) products for their cereals out of concern to health and potential corporate liability.

Elaine Chao, US Secretary of Labor, Taiwanese National, US Citizen, but Father is from Mainland China, fled to Taiwan when the Communists took over, then migrated to the US as I guess a political refugee he immediately starts a shipping business, sells his ships to Communist China. Many of his life-time friends and college friends are now in control in Beijing, China. What nation is whupping our butts on trade? China and his ships are being used to transport the products here.

Would these things matter if things were RIGHT in the United States? Possibly but not necessarily. It would in my judgment be Unwise to have elected and appointed officials with links to other nations intent upon stealing our country. BUT absolutely treasonous when all their actions, all their spew, all their schemes, plots, plans and policies DIRECTLY CONFLICT with the American Interest in pursuit of the dissolution of the United States and wiping the American People into oblivion.

Jeb down there in Florida swamping the US with illegals faster than we can count and he's worried about what Terry Schiavo's husband is doing regarding a private medical decision? Jeb down there "courting" the Latin Americans for the headquarters of the FTAA before the FTAA has even been approved by the American People. Traitor!

Garza down in Mexico assuring the Mexicans....we've got it under control, the people are wrong, they are not "credible" was the precise term he used. Traitor!

Chao in her office plotting a proposal to exempt American Workers earning less than $21,000 a year from their automatic over-pay time after working 40 hours a week calling the Wackident "First Son". Traitor!

These people are not Americans.

They are foreign infiltrators and agents of foreign interests.

GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND DO IT NOW!!!

Thousands of Mexicans move here to Houston every week, presumably to get away from the corrupt system down there. Then they do their best to make sure the system here becomes just as corrupt.

Whenever the FBI has a sting operation in Houston to bust crooked politicians, the list is always exclusively Hispanic. And you can always rest assured they're all gonna moan that the reason they were arrested was because the police are "racist".

I hear the "escape the corrupt system" alot. But, I'm not buying it. They maintain their Mexican Citizenship; they just secured Social Security Benefits as Mexican Nationals; they send Money back to Mexico.

Mexico may be corrupt. I think our country has become corrupt.

It's up to citizens to correct it.

Mexico is a democracy just like the United States.

If they can crawl through miles of desert, they can ban an arm band, a poster, and march down to the Capital of Mexico City and demand correction.

They come here to steal our lives, our jobs, our education, our medical benefits, and ultimately our politics.

They come here to steal our lives, our jobs, our education, our medical benefits, and ultimately our politics.

They do that because we have a traitor as president.

Exactly Rockfish!
