Thread: Congressman Hayworth letter to Bush: Tell Fox to butt out

http://hayworth.house.gov/cgi-data/news/files/371.shtml

Dear Mr. President,

Thank you for your recent admonition that the debate on illegal immigration should be conducted in a "civil and dignified" manner. All of us involved in politics can get caught up in the moment and your timely reminder will hopefully serve to lower the rhetorical heat.

Perhaps no one needs to hear that advice more than Mexican President Vicente Fox. For all his talk about wanting good relations, President Fox has made it clear that he has nothing but contempt for our laws and our people, especially those who want something done to stop illegal immigration. And his remarks have been anything but civil or dignified. President Fox has called U.S. border control efforts in San Diego and Texas "discriminatory." He said those of us opposed to illegal immigration are part of "minority, xenophobic, discriminatory groups." And, of course, we were all astounded when President Fox declared that illegal aliens in the U.S. "take work that not even blacks want to do."

President Fox called the Minutemen "migrant hunters," yet calls Mexican illegal aliens "heroes." He called the House passage of a provision that would authorize the construction of a fence between our countries, "disgraceful and shameful." He refuses to even recognize that those who cross our border without permission are illegals, infamously telling Sean Hannity, "They are not illegals. They are not illegals. They are people that come there to work, to look for a better opportunity."

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez has been equally intemperate and contemptuous of our sovereignty. Derbez called the House-passed immigration reform bill, "stupid and underhanded." He recently speculated that one cross-border incident in Texas might not have involved Mexicans at all, but American troops masquerading as Mexican soldiers to help drug runners. He said, "There is a supposition here that this involved Mexican citizens, and that is absolutely incorrect. There would have to have been racial descriptions, and that would imply a certain element of racial discrimination on the part of the American sheriffs." He once even referred to Hispanic voters in Arizona as "our own Mexican-Americans."

Americans are tired of being told that they are bigots by the likes of President Fox and Foreign Minister Derbez. Therefore, at your meetings later this week with President Fox and Foreign Minister Derbez, I respectfully request that you publicly make it clear to both men that their clumsy, over-the-top rhetoric about internal U.S. political matters pertaining to our border security is unwarranted and unacceptable. Please let them know that they should henceforth refrain from making these kinds of reckless remarks and that they should stop meddling in our internal political affairs.

Thank you for your consideration. As always, I look forward to working with you to make America an even stronger and better nation in the days ahead.


Best regards,

J.D. Hayworth
U.S. Congressman


Hayworth to Bush: Tell President Fox to butt out
http://www.svherald.com/articles/2006/0 ... news12.txt

Who should be telling Fox to butt out is Condoleeza Rice, our Secretary of State. She has been conspiciously absent from any discussion about Mexico, but focuses her interest on Iraq and making pop calls over there.

Ms. Rice has been sent articles describing the comments made by Fox and company, but she neither responds or takes any action.

She is just another "Bush Yes Man" . I hardly think Colin Powell would be sitting on his hands while Fox tried to run the show over here.

I think the reason Colin Powell decided to step aside has a great deal to do with the fact that he got tired of being a yes-man. And I think the reason Rice, the most unqualified person available at the moment, was chosen for the job was because it would have been perceived as politically incorrect to turn her down and because she is the perfect "yes-man."

Anyone who thinks she is doing any good whatsoever in the Middle East might want to study Middle Eastern culture a little bit. And she would be equally disrespected in Mexico.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! Go J.D. Go!!!

at last a hero well there are a few out there

I am keeping track of the real patriots and the panderers.

Thank you for sharing the good news

ps. Junius you are absolutely correct about the cultural differences. She would not be respected. But then no one in this country is respected by them that's pretty obvious.
