The crackhouse country next door is up to its usual hypocrisy, bashing Arizona for legislating to protect its sovereignty and public safety, when Mexico itself is known to treat illegal aliens within its territory harshly. The New York Times reported that Mexico deported 170,000 in 2006. Hey, Mexes, Hondurans are human too, as the signs say.
Moochico is complaining because it wants to preserve its favorite source of easy money: remittances. Though cash sent home by Mexicans has decreased during the recession, the parasite country received $21.18 billion in remittances during 2009.
Part of the sweeping arrogance one detects in the sombrero-wearing invaders is the Mexicans’ assumption that America’s southern border is just a suggestion. A 2002 Zogby poll found that 58 percent of Mexicans believe the American Southwest belongs to them. Like the jihadist Muslims flooding Europe, many believe they are reclaiming what is theirs, which is not a good basis for assimilation and loyalty.
Oh, and a 2006 poll found that many Mexicans have a poor opinion of Americans, believing us to be racist, lazy and corrupt. So any “debate” that occurs about borders and sovereignty is not made in good faith: they are not good neighbors, but money grubbers.
Mexico always wants a handout of freebies from generous/stupid Uncle Sucka, and when its expectations are thwarted, it becomes… angry.
Mexico angry about new Arizona immigration law, the Hill, April 24, 2010
Mexico is reacting angrily to a controversial immigration bill that was panned by President Barack Obama but signed into law Friday by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R).
The law requires police to ask for identification or other proof of immigration status if they suspect that they’re in the country illegally. A corrdidor for both drug and human smuggling, Arizona is home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants, and proponents of the law argue that the federal government has dropped the ball in securing the border.
Critics contend that the bill will lead to racial profiling and civil rights abuses. Hours before Brewer signed the legislation, which passed nearly along party lines in the state Senate, Obama criticized the effort as “misguided” and said it “threatened to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe.”
Secretary of Foreign Affairs Patricia Espinosa said that the Mexican government concurs.
“The government of Mexico regrets that, despite the overtures made at all levels by Mexican federal and state officials, the legislators who passed this measure and the governor of Arizona have not taken into account the valuable contributions of migrants to the economy, society and culture of Arizona and the United States of America,” Espinosa said. “The Mexican government took various steps to express to the Arizona government its concerns about the law without obtaining a positive response.
“The government of Mexico acknowledges the sovereign right of every country to decide on the public policies that should apply in their territory,” she continued. “Nevertheless, when a measure such as SB 1070 has the potential of affecting the human rights of thousands of Mexicans, the Mexican government cannot remain indifferent.”
The Mexican Senate had unanimously passed a resolution Thursday urging Brewer to veto the law.
“Criminalization is not the way to resolve undocumented immigration,” Espinosa said. “The existence of cross-border labor markets requires comprehensive, long-term solutions. Shared responsibility, trust and mutual respect must be the bases for addressing the shared challenges in North America.”
