Mexico's Immigration Hypocrisy

I heard Mexico has issued a statement warning their citizens about going to Arizona. Mexican President Calderone believes Arizonans are 'racist' for passing a law that says it is illegal to be an illegal.

I thought Arizona was trying to do something that both Bush & Obama have failed to do. Enforce our immigration laws.

Mexico sounds like Arizona is the only place with enforceable immigration laws. That is where the hypocrisy becomes blatant.

Mexico has some of the most punitive immigration laws on the books that far surpass Arizonas. Our media in the US are in favor of granting citizenship to the illegal aliens here, so they do not tell their readers or viewers that fact.

Instead they try to play on peoples fears of being labeled with the overplayed term 'racist'. Yes in the US if you oppose the radical lefts agenda, you are a racist. If you ask our elected officials to enforce our laws, you are a racist.

I believe the elected officials who take an oath of office to uphold our constitution & laws are guilty of a derelection of duty when they refuse to do so.

Here is a brief summary of Mexico's immigration laws as they relate to foreigners in Mexico. i did call the Mexican Embassy in DC, and gasp, they would not comment on their own laws. They are happy to comment on US law, but would prefer not to discuss their own.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door “to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement.” But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in “Nazi-zona” last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south.

– The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?

– If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care.

– Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim).

– Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens’ arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities.

– Ready to show your papers? Mexico’s National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens’ identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.

More Dirty Tricks from the Dirty Democrats

The left wing of American politics have a history of trying to portray the conservatives as racists in an attempt to discredit them. This goes way back.

In the 70's Bush 41 was speaking as our UN Ambassador and the left sent folks to the venue dressed as Klansmen, and carrying signs supporting Bush. Unfortunately for them, they were caught and exposed.

Fast forward to current events.

For a year the mainstream media, and Democrats have tried to diminish the Tea Party and portray them as racists, unAmerican, and Nazis. The Tea Party formed because regular Americans were sick & tired of having their voices ignored by the politicians in Washington.

The mainstream media & Demcrats have tried in vain to convince voters that the Tea Party participants were representing big business, despite the denials from them.

We witnessed the protest in March on Capitol Hill. The mainstream media & Democratic leaders claimed they were spit upon & called the n-word. If true, it would be shameful.
The Tea Party members denounced the use of such language and any use of violence.

When interviewed, nobody seemed to have actually heard such words being used, and no video surfaced. There was plenty of video with audio, but not one 'n-word' nor any spit.

A $100,000 reward was offerred for anyone who could provide evidence of such language or actions. Despite the money, nobody could produce anything.

Now on April 15th, more rallies are being planned to protest our high teaxes, out of control spending, and record deficits.

The far left Democrats & their supporters are also planning to participate in the Tea Parties. These groups are planning more nefarious forms of participation in an effort to discredit the Tea Party movement.

Among the many Tea Party protesters, however, will be individuals plotting to undermine the peaceful grassroots movement.

Blogger Glenn Reynolds spotted CrashTheTeaParty.org today, a website that claims to represent "a nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes and morons; who constitute the fake grassroots movement, which calls itself 'the Tea Party.'"

Their plan is to "infiltrate" Tea Party protests to create the false impression that protesters are racists by … being racists. That's right, they will bring with them offensive signs and give wildly offensive interviews to reporters, all with the intention of smearing a movement that wouldn't bring those signs or give those interviews themselves. It remains to be seen whether the mainstream media will take the bait.

The Tea Party movement has been notably non-violent by the standards of any protest movement, but especially when compared with leftist anti-war and anti-capitalist groups (a lot of overlap there). It is not beyond the pale to expect that some crazies might try to shatter the near-perfect record of non-violent protest proudly worn on the Tea Party's collective sleeve by inciting or committing an act of violence.

"Some on the Left in American politics," Tapscott wrote today at the Washington Examiner's Beltway Confidential blog, "are running a KGB-like 'false flag' operation to discredit the Tea Party. The Left couldn't sell the idea that Tea Partiers are just a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons, so the Left is infiltrating the Tea Party in order to pose as a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons."

The question, as Tapscott notes, is how will the mainstream media address allegations of racism or -- God forbid -- violence. Will it parrot the claims of liberals without extensive investigation, as it did with the 'Spittlegate' incident after the passage of the ObamaCare bill? Or will it make a concerted effort to sort out fact from fiction -- and where it is unclear, report it as such?

Suppose, for example, someone who may or may not be an actual Tea Party member shows up to a protest with an offensive sign. The mainstream media cannot responsibly report that that person is undoubtedly an authentic member of the movement. The lingering doubt that the person is a member of radical leftist counter-protests groups will remain until that possibility is disproved.

But given the mainstream media's reliably hostile attitude towards the Tea Party movement, such investigation in all likelihood will not take place. It may fall to citizen journalists to expose the leftists seeking to slander wide swaths of the American people.

Tea Party groups will be working to marginalize any undercover lefties that show up with malicious designs. If you get the chance, grab a video camera (or a smartphone) and head to your nearest Tea Party.

Who knows, your footage could dispel some false accusations; citizen-journalists are turning in the most reliable kinds.

The person behind this leftist call to arms is Jason Levin.
