Mexican officials visit U.S. on immigration fact-finding mission

Associated PressLITTLE ROCK — Mexican immigration experts visiting the United States to see how this country deals with illegal immigrants say the U.S. is not the only country with a porous southern border.

In Mexico, immigration officials struggle to handle a growing number of immigrants from Guatemala, Honduras and other countries who seek low-wage Mexican jobs that have been abandoned for better-paying jobs in the United States.

“Mexico is a country of both transit and destination,” said Gabriel Perez Duperou, deputy director of Sin Fronteras, an immigrants rights group based in Mexico City. “But for Mexico, it’s not logical to demand a policy from a country to respect human rights if we are not respecting the human rights of immigrants.”

We have to do something about the whores in politics on both sides of the fence that sell
out the voters that put them in office on the offchance that these new Americans they
want to create will keep them sucking at the public trough. Everyone that I have talked
with will pay higher prices if we can send the i.a.s back where they came from. I lived in
Star Co, TX. I watched them come across the Rio Grande and my father used the Bracero
program. I know how easy it is to come into this country. I also know that they have an
unreasonable feeling that a good portion of this country should belong to Mexico and
some (IN THIS COUNTRY) are actively working toward that end. Politicians don’t live in our
world. They don’t live in Prince William County, VA like our son and daughter in law.

Illegal immigrants in ANY nation are still CRIMINALS because they choose NOT to respect the laws of that nation.
For moonbats to understand this it takes place IMMEDIATELY upon entering a country without authorized permission from that nations government !!

While we are at it let’s make damn sure that the mexican delegation gets back to THEIR home counrty after they complete their fact finding vacation.
