Thread: Is this crazy?

Vincente Bush's brother sent a 4 paragraph note to the state department protesting our so called border security. The state department had it for 16 hours and said they would have to take time and look at the wording. This is absolutely beyond belief when this administration can let a third world crime, drug, poverty and disease infested third world toilet of a country dictate policy to this country and yet we may be sending additional troops to Iraq due to insurgency violence.

Yes it's crazy but not surprising. Mexico tells us what to do
ALL THE TIME!

I am not surprised.

President Bush invited Fox to speak before the congress when he first came into office.

Fox stood before the joint congress and demanded that America give certain rights to 'his people'.

Not a lawmaker got up and left. I was so ashamed and thought at the time - 'We are toast'.

I think Bushie is out looking for a backbone along with many members of the Senate.

Alabama should be proud of Jeff Sessons.

If you want an a real eye opener, go look at Mexico's immigration policies! It's a crime to be an illegal immigrant there and is punishable by jail time and a fine. Something like 2 years in jail and I think like a $25K fine or something? You also can't buy property there and can't work there.

Here's a brief article on Mexican law & immigration from The American Chronicle:

Contrary to popular belief, Mexico has very strict immigration laws which are enforced by every police agency in the country. The Bureau of Immigration can call upon any law enforcement officer to assist in their mission. Citizens from the United States traveling in Mexico without proper documents are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.


Mexican law requires proof of citizenship, passport, photo I.D. destination and purpose of travel for any foreign national entering the Country. The foreign national cannot work and must have monetary funds to support their stay in Mexico.

Non-Immigrants, FM-3s must provide proof of identity as well as a financial statement, proof of income. This income must be 250 times the minimum wages paid in Mexico City.

To fully immigrate as an FM-2, proof of income required is 400 times the minimum wages paid in Mexico City.For some reason, the elite ruling class of Mexico does not appreciate immigrants that are not self-supporting or illegal aliens competing for jobs. Amnesty for law breakers is not an option.

Voting regulations in Mexico are very strict to prevent voter fraud in elections. What an amazing concept.Proof of identity with a government issued photo voter ID is required to vote within a polling district. A fingerprint is also taken. Elections are serious business in Mexico compared to the United States of America.

Mexico controls their Borders with military troops. The fact that many military or police units are corrupt and 65 percent of cocaine and marijuana seized in the U.S. comes from Mexico is not on the political "radar" in Washington D.C.

In 1989, the U.S. Government had armed squads of U.S. Marines as well as Army National Guard air support wings assisting in narcotics interdictions along the Arizona Border. It was a very effective operation, perhaps too effective. Politicians in Mexico were "outraged" that U.S. Marines were deployed along high intensity smuggling areas.

Very specific rules of engagement were in place for our Marines. If fired upon by armed smugglers, they returned fire ending the situation. Mexican military incursions on U.S. soil was not a factor and for a brief period of time, the U.S. Border Patrol regained control along the Line.
