Looks like I missed a whole lot of stuff last week...........I'll try to catch up
Mexico Takes Out Full-Page Newspaper Ads Stressing Rights for Migrants March 20, 2006 www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002199542 MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexico published advertisements in major newspapers in Mexico and in the United States on Monday saying migrants should have the same rights as everyone else and calling it "indispensable" that the two countries reach a migration accord. Published in English in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, and in Spanish in leading Mexico City newspapers, the full-page ads coincide with expected U.S. Senate debate on a bill that would extend fences along the U.S.-Mexico border crack down on illegal immigration with law enforcement and the military. "Acknowledging the sovereign right of each country to regulate the entrance of foreigners, it is indispensable to find a solution for the undocumented population that lives in the United States and contributes to the development of the country, so that people can be fully incorporated into their actual communities, with the same rights and duties," the ad read. The ad's content was taken primarily from a report outlining the goals and recommendations of a committee of Mexican legislators, executive branch officials, diplomats, academics, foreign policy experts and social group leaders. The ad states that Mexico wants "a far-reaching guest workers scheme" and that "in order for a guest workers program to be viable, Mexico should participate in its design, management, supervision and evaluation." "Mexico does not promote undocumented migration," it read, adding that Mexico "is committed to fighting all forms of human smuggling and related criminal activities." But both countries share the responsibility in dealing with the issue -- which was complicated immensely after the Sept. 11 attacks and Washington's subsequent moves to beef up security along its borders, Mexico said in the ads. It also acknowledged that it needs to create incentives for its citizens to return home, and suggested offering housing credits. And it called for the creation of a cross-border medical insurance system, while proposing that Mexicans living and working in the United States continue to qualify for pension programs in their native country. President Vicente Fox's spokesman Ruben Aguilar said Monday that Mexico published the ads to make the government's views "better known and evaluated by relevant actors who participate in the migration debate." He added that the debate is "in its most-important moments." The U.S. House of Representatives has already passed the proposed border protection, anti-terrorism and illegal immigration control act, and the Senate is expected to take it up by the end of this month. |

Hmmm.........I wonder if they know something we don't know
Mexico optimistic U.S. headed toward immigration breakthrough www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=4667847 MEXICO CITY Mexico said today it's optimistic a major breakthrough could be on the way, granting legal status to some of (m) millions of its undocumented citizens in the United States. Mexican President Vicente Fox's spokesman says "there are a number of positive signs pointing to the possibility" of the kind of bilateral migration deal Mexico's been pushing for since 2001. Ruben Aguilar's comments come as Mexico heads into a pair of high-level meetings with President Bush's administration. That includes a trilateral summit with Canada next week in the Caribbean resort city of Cancun, Mexico. Barring such an accord, Aguilar says Mexico at the very least believes a guest-worker program for hundreds of thousands of Mexicans could be approved by the U-S Congress. |

Three countries, one America.........I'm sure it will be an improvement........riiiiight |
|

Only if we invade and"fix" the other two. |

Here is the really scary shit. |
|
|
Oh poooooh.........now that would be racist wouldn't it? HELL NO IT WOULDN'T!! Get your illegal asses back the Mexico!!!! |
|
|
I'll translate-
"Vampires demand rights to peoples blood-it's a resource all of us should share they declare". Parasites. Vicente Fox should shut the hell up and fix his third world, shit hole country. |
|
it's governments like mehico's that make our government look in touch with reality
|
|
Its already "one America" in their eyes, and has been for years. While we routinely label ourselves as the only "America", lots of other countries call us "Norte America", North America, etc. They consider themselves "Americans "already. |

In light of the recent threat of being banned from ARFCOM for my staunch anti-illegal alien stance, I have been forced to take a new position on these matters. The old 89grand would have said "Fuck those filthy illegal aliens", but the new pro
I love undocumented migrants and believe that they have every right to whatever it is that they want that helps them in their quest for a better life. If that quest for a "better life" means degrading everyone elses life, so be it. It's a small price to pay for helping the wonderful migrants. |
|
Replace 'migrant' ( really ILLEGAL ALIENS ) with 'burglars' and one gets the idea. FUCK THEM they are forigne invaders.

I'm all for it as long as I'll be able to get $.50 Coronas and cheap Mexian hookers here in Virginia.
|
|
Rights????
What rights???? Who's rights???? If you are an illegal from Mexico, you are Mexican by nationality, therefore, you have Mexican rights. talk to Vincente. |
|
I think they have the same rights as any other illegal alien in this country.
They have the right to get the fuck out, or go to prison |
|
They DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS here, they aren't OUR citizens!!!!!
|

In the words of Sgt. Hartmann, "What is this Mickey Mouse shit!?” I wonder what Mexico DF would do if we went to their country illegally and used their "free" socialist healthcare system. Not that I would go to that shit hole for healthcare!
|

Reposted for all its clarity. |
|
|
|
The right to re-cross the border, going south?
And let's be blunt. They care not what the illegals do for this country, they care what they do for Mexico as the 3rd largest source of revenue to the Mexican economy. Mexico needs to fix it's own house before complaining to us. |
|
+1 What right does that fucked up country have to tell us to do at any time or any place? Time to build a Gulf to ocean wall with entrenchments, mine fields, and bobwire. Why are we still messing around? If there are 11 million of them here illegally we have been invaded and are losing the war. There is no incentive for Mexico to fix itself if we let this continue.

|
Well.......at one of the illegal alien bars here in Houston you can get $2beer + free pool........I don't know how cheap the hookers are though |
|
|
There are those that have tried...........their military protects THEIR border(and violates OURS) |
|
|
I am SO glad I finally GTF outta there.
Just the thought I have to go back to Laredo next week to finish moving my stuff makes my skin crawl. |
|
|
I have heard about this. The Mexican Army is controlled by the drug lords over there. If a drug lord has a problem with an American rancher, the Mexican Army comes across and harasses him. Maybe we should put our military on the border. I would love to hear that the National Guard shot up some Mexican military unit that crossed the border. |

They are all taking off of work on Friday here in Kansas City to protest the legislation up on the hill! They think that not going to work and not shopping is going to get them heard. Where I work the 3 we have only show up half of the time, so it will be about normal day.

Yep, everyone is in a giant rush to give away America to foreign nationals for two cents or two votes. Time for a third party - both the others are complete and utter losers. |

After Slavery was abolished there was a system of Convict Labor in parts of this country for awhile When the country went into Depression FDR outlawed Convict Labor to put Americans back to work Illegal Aliens are the " New Slave Labor " and that's why even good 'ol "Conservative Bush and friends tolerate it and pretend like it's not a problem In Bush's last State of the Union he referred to Illegals as "Immigrants " And in the past referred to the Minuteman Project as " Vigilantes " And yes we are screwed because Dems or Repubs wont stop it and everyday it gets worse Had a Prisoner at work the other day Looked at his Pedigree ( Rap Sheet ) and saw that he was 19 from Honduras and had a Federal ICE Detainer on him Just out of the blue I asked him "Hey Baseball is big in Honduras right ? He replied " I don't know I haven't been there since I was a little kid " So this Illegal Criminal has been in this country for many years commits a crime and they're just now getting ready to deal with his "Immigration Status " |

Bumpersticker : Politicians are like diapers they need to be changed often and for the same reason The Republican Party has stabbed it's base in the back Wash DC is beyond repair I hate being a Pessimist but I see it more as being a Realist We are Subjects to them not citizens Pay your Taxes and Vote for us but we're gonna enact whatever Laws we see fit and shove "Our " Policy down your throat "We" know what's good for this Country That's the feeling I get regarding Wash DC whether it's Repub or Dems They are the Ruling Class |
|

I don't get it, in every 2nd Amendment thread I'm told rights are either "God given" or "self evident." But I come here and learn rights are given to us by virtue of being a citizen. Riiiiiight.

Exactly. The rich, ruling elite see us as subjects, peasants far too dull witted and stupid to have a valid opinion worth listening to, let alone trusted with decision making power. In the eyes of the oligarchs that control our nation from bottom to top (and make no mistake: we live in an oligarchy, an oligarchy that most certainly includes the judiciary) "we the people" are, quite simply, fucking morons. We are relevant only insofar as we can be duped into furthering their agendas, agendas that do little more than tighten their already feudal grip on power. I'd like for one of the ruling elite to sit down and explain to me how saddling the American taxpayer with the cost of welfare, education, and free medical care for millions of unassimilated foreign nationals is "good" for me. I can assure you, it most certainly is not "good" for me and it is not "good" for you. However, it is good for the tycoons who utilize illegal labor. I'd like for just one politician to get drunk enough at some ritzy party to come right out and say: *GLUG-GLUG-BURP* "I am afraid of Mexico. Vincente Fox looks scary with that black mustache and I'm afraid he'll get mad at me and I'll have bad dreams. I am afraid they'll stop selling us oil. I'm afraid that my rich constituents, the only ones I'm concerned with pleasing, would be angry if we closed the border. Why, I could lose my seat! Then where would I be? No more bigshot! No more prestige! No more fun for me! I'd have to actually go out and get some gazillion dollar per year corporate job. Why, I wouldn't be famous anymore! Quite frankly John Q. Citizen, I don't give a damn if the last vestiges of what used to be American culture are ground under the heels of foreign invaders. I'm concerned with power! Nothing more, nothing less! *GULP-GUZZLE-BURP* You see, my dull peasant, we politicians don't 'live' anywhere. We 'winter' in one spot and we 'summer' in another. Sort of an 'ivory tower' lifestyle, you might call it. We do not deal with the mundane, everyday problems caused by the policies we institute. Do you really think I'm worried about being mown down by a drunken illegal alien who can't read American roadsigns? Do you think I'm worried about being kidnapped by third world savages in drug gangs? Please. Let us not kid each other. Tuberculosis is a disease of the proletariat, not of my social circle. I am concerned about you only insofar as I, in collusion with my highly paid staff of co-conspirators, can conceal my true agenda from you and dupe you into voting for me! Why do you think we can never tell you the truth about anything? Why do we use double talk and hire people to write 'our' speeches for us? Why do we always speak of 'saving' Social Security, just as one example, but never, under any circumstances, define what 'save' means or how we intend to do it? Because we don't want you to know the truth! If you knew the truth you'd throw us out of office, you dolts! *HIC!* The reason we don't closhe the border and proshecute the scum who employ illegal aliens ish quite simple my dear peashant: we, we, *BURP*, we don't want to. We profit from the obscene, disgraceful inshtitution. It keeps our rich benefactors happy, our campaign coffersh full, and thush we shtay in power because you are too shtupid to vote for a 3rd, a 3rd...*FART*...a 3rd p...p...p...party! Ha! I luuuuv my job! Now. Where ish that intern boy wish my blowjob? *HICCUP*" |

Quoted:
............................."Mexico does not promote undocumented migration," it read, adding that Mexico "is committed to fighting all forms of human smuggling and related criminal activities." .................................... quote] Lying shits. ETA
QUESTION: If a citizen in the states of Texas, New Mexico or Arizona has his house invaded and "has a reasonable fear for his safety/life" what are his rights of self defense? NOW- If a rancher or farmer comes across armed individuals on his property and has the same concern, HOW WOULD THAT DIFFER? |

Protect America instead of pandering to the Cheap / Slave Labor Contributors Rush Limbaugh said a long time ago when he was asked if he'd consider running for office "When someone contributes a Million Dollars to your campaign and then you win, guess what ? He doesn't want that Million Dollars back. He wants a favor and that favor is going to be worth more than a Million Dollars or else he wouldn't have given it to you. " All Joe Citizen offers is his Single Vote and his Faith in that Candidate There is no obligation to return any favors to Mr and Mrs America It's the Large Contributors that they're worried about You Joe Citizen don't matter Just keep Voting for us we're the Good Guys those guys over there ..... They're the Bad Guys |

Exactly. Politicians are bought and paid for. Until recently I, like most Americans, never really realized how much that should piss me off. The founding fathers never intended for politics to be a career. Back then men "stood" for election, they did not "run" for election. Soliciting votes was considered to be beneath one's dignity. Men served when called upon by their fellows because they saw it as a civic duty. Now? We mill around like fat, dazed farm animals while these liars, scoundrels and crooks, the Cunninghams and Traficants et al, construct a society that this generation's grandchildren are going to have a hell of a time dealing with. We bemoan the fate of our society and then go forth every two years and pull the levers and push the buttons in the voting booths that send the same damned crooks right back to Washington to do the same damned thing in the same old way. Held hostage by a corrupt two party system, the average man is mortified that "the enemy" might gain power if he votes his conscience. Still, deep down I suspect he knows, as someone put it a few pages back, that the only difference between the two major parties is which greedy bastards they are going to give his hard earned money to. |

Exactly Most of us are working hard to pay the bills and the little time I have I try to spend with the family Americans are Drunk and walk around in a Stupor Slaves to Entertainment Sports ,Pornography ETC. Perot got so many Votes because people were fed up and tired of the two-party system Yet he is still vilified to this Day I too feel like a Subject Shuffle into a Booth Pull the Lever and get the Same Old Crap we've gotten before Voting from the rooftops in not an option Who are you gonna snipe ? Half this Country is made up of Liberal Pacifists who want nothing more than a Socialist Hippie Utopia This Current Government is Not what the Founding Fathers envisioned I believe America has run it's course We will crumble like Rome as we continue to be Invaded and Balkanized As Americans we are separate and divided Right Wing Repubs stand for one thing Left Wing Dems stand for another Bicker and fight back and forth on Abortion, The War in Iraq, Gun-Control, Social Security, Illegals, Etc We deserve better than this What we need is Citizen Politicians Imagine a good ol Country Boy in the WhiteHouse Beholden to Nobody No Contributors, Lobbyists or Party Polticos Poltics is about Money that's it Ask yourself Why would a John Corzine spend $63 Million Dollars to run for Senate in New Jersey ? Something is deeply wrong |

I'm so sick of this shit who runs this country anyway. The rest of the world thinks they can run US better that we can. WHY THE FUCK DON'T WE CLOSE OUR BORDERS. End of rant
|

El Guv'mint de Mexico thinks a lot of itself, to come up with a scheme like this, trying to influence policy inside OUR border. Screw 'em. Wall up the border and put crew served weapons every 300 meters. Whatever crosses the border gets lit up. Problem solved.
