They are similar in many ways. Maybe that's why they get along so well.Now the supposed president of Mexico is attacking America yet again for the killing of an illegal immigrant after he was tazed for wrestling two border agents to the ground at the Mexico California border. His attacks included condemnation for the recent Arizona immigration law of course, despite the fact the event didn't even occur at the Arizona border.
I'd like to say a few words to Felipe the Dumb.
1) You are not in charge of your country. Mexico is run by drug cartels who have turned your country into one gigantic battlefield. Until you can put down the violence by the cartels, your words have NO merit.
2) The Arizona immigration law mirrors a federal law we have had for years. If you are going to attack Arizona, then please attack our federal government right along with it.
3) Your country's punishment for crossing the border illegally is ten times worse than ours. HYPOCRITE.
4) Why do so many of your people feel the need to escape from your country to ours? Looks like you have a lot of work to do.
5) Instead of criticizing the actions of OUR border agents enforcing OUR laws on OUR land, why don't you direct some of that criticism towards YOUR people who torture YOUR people on YOUR land?
Until you can get a grip on your rapidly deteriorating country, please SHUT your mouth and mind your own business!
And while we're on the subject of illegal immigration, I'd like to mention something a friend and reader sent my way a few days ago.
Operation Wetback (oh I'm so sorry for typing this horrible slur. NOT.)
Here's how President Dwight Eisenhower solved the illegal immigration problem in the 50's, with remarkable success:
from Wikipedia...
The effort began in California and Arizona, and coordinated 1075 Border Patrol agents, along with state and local police agencies, to mount an aggressive crackdown. Tactics employed included going as far as systematic police sweeps of Mexican-American neighborhoods, and random stops and ID checks of "Mexican-looking" people in a region with many Native Americans and native Hispanics. In some cases, illegal immigrants were deported along with their American-born minor dependent children. This occurred despite the fact the children were, by some interpretations of the 14th amendment, citizens of the United States. Some 750 agents targeted agricultural areas with a goal of 1000 apprehensions per day. By the end of July, over 50,000 immigrants were caught in the two states. An estimated 488,000 illegal immigrants are claimed to have left voluntarily, for fear of being apprehended. By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and the INS estimates that 500,000 to 700,000 had left Texas of their accord. To discourage illicit re-entry, buses and trains took many deportees deep within Mexican territory, prior to releasing them. Tens of thousands more were deported by two chartered ships, the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried them from Port Isabel, Texas, to Veracruz, Mexico, more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) to the south. Some were taken as far as 1,000 miles.
SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE. Ike knew what needed to be done, politically incorrect or not. He did it and got the job done!Says Walt Edwards, a former border patrol agent who took part in Operation Wetback in 1954, "Some say we cannot send 12 million illegals now in the United States back where they came from. Of course we can!"
The illegal immigration problem can be solved in this country. It's just a matter of if anyone has the guts to take initiative.
And to Felipe Calderon. Please pour yourself a nice piping hot cup of "shut the-- Well you get the picture.
