Immigration legislation passed by the US house last December has apparently hit some raw nerves. For instance, listen closely and you will hear a loud choking sound coming from south of the border.

That would be Mexican officials gasping for oxygen upon realizing that their sacred cash cow---illegal immigration --- is in jeopardy of being trumped by American politicians actually doing what is best for America! For a change!

Once Mexican officials stop gagging on their anxiety, they will attempt to join the debate with a most amusing argument: US efforts to eliminate or reverse illegal immigration are a threat to the "good neighbor" feelings between Mexico & America.

With all due respect, Mr. and Mrs. Loco, would a good neighbor allow(encourage!) 15 million of its unskilled & impoverished citizens to violate the borders & laws of a valued neighbor? Or allow it's people to plunder a neighbor's education, health care, and other resources like a thief robbing a bank?

Obviously, the renaissance of common sense has yet to make it to Mexico.

If Mexico is genuinely interested in becoming a "good neighbor," the Mexican government will take immediate steps to stop illegal crossings into America, and will assist the US government in rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants now here.

Because the new rallying cry north of the border is: No Deportations, No Peace!

Comprehende, neighbors?
