Which country does the US State Department serve?

By Michelle Malkin • April 30, 2008 09:30 PM I’ve written extensively about the role Mexican consular offices play in coordinating subversion of our immigration laws across the country. As I’ve noted before, the Mexican consulates are well-funded, well-organized, and everywhere. Thanks to their influence, the Bush White House ignored homeland security warnings about the illegal alien Mexican matricula consular cards and allowed the phony baloney cards to proliferate as Treasury Department-approved ID. Mexican consular meddling has dangerously hampered border enforcement. Heather Mac Donald has reported exhaustively on the Mexican government’s growing power and influence in working to sabotage immigration enforcement efforts.

One congressman is trying to get the State Department to do something about these meddling, sovereignty-undermining consulates. He’s not having much luck. Read the press release from Rep. Bill Sali of Idaho:

[quote]SALI ASKS STATE DEPARTMENT TO DELAY APPROVAL OF MEXICAN CONSULATE

Congressman Insists that Idahoans Receive Assurances that Consulate Won’t Aid Illegals

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a letter sent today, Congressman Bill Sali asked Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice to delay opening a Mexican consulate in Boise until the government can assure Idahoans that a consulate will not foster the continued presence of illegal aliens in Idaho. The letter follows a meeting Sali had with senior State Department officials in which the Department’s bureaucrats expressed considerably more concern about whether the consular office would follow local zoning laws than whether it would aid people in breaking federal immigration laws.

“Our government has the moral and constitutional duty to take into consideration how foreign consulates affect our fellow citizens here in our own country,â€

The State Department, known as Foggy Bottom, is a rather elitist stuck up organization that I believe operates for its own self interests.

This spring, Condi Rice was going to start sending Foreign Service Officers to Iraq by assignment because not enough volunteers could be found to go. So some of these FSO bums had meetings of protest thinking they should not have to go. Like the privates in the military have any choice?

700 million for the new embassy in Iraq.

The State Department is giving the visas to people of other countries who are NOT going home when said visa expires and therefore they become ILLEGAL. It is not just the border folks.

Very little criticism of Condi Rice over this and why not William?
