The Calderon Calling Arizona Black
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Author Mike Rough
Hypocrisy does not discriminate when it comes to heads of state. The ever pervasive better than thou attitude comes in all sizes, shapes, and colors as witnessed this week in the form of Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s bombastic commentary on Arizona’s immigration enforcement law.
At issue is Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s accusations that Arizona has opened the door “to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement.”
These comments come on the heels of protests by illegal aliens, resident aliens, and U.S born citizens of Mexican descent at various public locations all over the country.
What Felipe tends to forget is that the country of Mexico has a dirty little secret, unless you are able to understand Spanish.
In Mexico:
If you want to become a citizen and your presence does not enhance “economic or national interests” or you are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” you are denied citizenship.
If you show “contempt against national sovereignty or security” you are denied citizenship.
If you have a “criminal history” you are denied citizenship.
If you want to obtain Mexican citizenship must show:
Valid Birth Certificate
Bank statement proving economic independence
Pass a citizenship exam
Provide proof of Health Insurance
In Mexico:
Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment.
Illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment.
Document fraud and alien marriage fraud are both subject to fine and imprisonment.
Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process
In Mexico by National Mandate:
Law enforcement officials at all levels 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.
All outside tourists and foreign nationals are tracked by the National Catalog of Foreigners.
All citizens area identified, verified and tracked by the National Population Registry through a citizen ID card.
Visitors stopped and lacking the proper paperwork and identification are considered illegal aliens and subject to arrest and prosecution.
If you are in Mexico illegally they will not provide education or health care unless you are able to provide proof of citizenship or payment.
Funny that there doesn’t seem to be public outrage by illegal aliens for “comprehensive immigration reform” in Mexico:
The Mexican constitution mandates political speech by foreigners is banned. Non citizens cannot “in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.”
Thinking of starting a business or investing in Mexico?
Mexican statutes enacted by its congress also limit the participation of foreign nationals and companies in investments, education, mining, civil aviation, electric energy, and firearms.
What if I want a job or to buy a home in Mexico?
Foreigners have severely limited private property and employment rights.
With regard to the call for “Amnesty for all Illegals” Mexico has never considered the idea and in fact has put more law enforcement and military might to bear upon it’s borders (Except U.S borders) to clamp down on the illegal entry of Cubans through its port cities, and Central Americans from primarily Guatemala.
We already know that illegal entry and re-entry into Mexico is a felony level crime punishable by 10 years in prison, but what happens when a person is charged with illegal entry?
When Mexican authorities catch illegal aliens, they place them overnight in a detention center, then bus or fly them back to their country of origin without access to legal representation let alone for free.
Considering the statements that Felipe has been spouting on our soil its a good thing we don’t prescribe to the same standards as Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
It’s not surprising that Mexico’s president is perceiving a moat being dug around Arizona with the beams of immigration intolerance in his own eyes.

How much longer can we seriously respond to the ridiculous taunts of “You’re not perfect! You’re not perfect!” Others countries have to be laughing as they say it, only to be more shocked and incredulous at our stupidity when we respond or alter our laws! We can’t expect much from our impudent and impotent President.
And some call us paranoid crackpots for thinking something else must be afoot.

Calderon can and will get away with this garbage because most of our media people don’t have a clue as to Mike’s list, above. Or, if they do, they just don’t care.
Probably oughta create a Word file, and mail printouts to each and every newspaper and TV type for whom you can find an address. Otherwise, this sort of thing is mostly just preaching to the choir.

Let’s hear it for enforcing at least those Federal laws and the perfectly sensible practice of “profiling.” Other than drug dealers how many whites do you suppose are trying to sneak across the Rio Grande?

I found it interesting that Mexico’s immigration requirements were even more stringent than the one’s I proposed in the earlier article. As Rat stated, we need to get the word out in the biggest way possible in order to educate the public, as the current press juggernaut is downright ignoring the other side of the argument of parity. Anyone interested in writing about Arizona specifically? I am setting up another blog site at http://stateofarizona.net so contact me or submit an article or comment and Linda or I will get back with you.

Mike, very clever title! And a great article. Can I copy it and email it to friends and family? I’ll be happy to send it to my elected officials, too.
Hey, Linda, did you respond to Gary’s “Parting Shots” of Friday and Monday? I’d love to have been a fly on that wall.

‘Course, we know why the hypocracy is “justified”. Mexico has a huge problem with poor and unemployed, and their solution is to foist them off on the “rich” U.S. to support.

South of the Rio Grande, there is more creation of people than there is creation of remunerative jobs. Obvious problem, there.
About 25 years ago, I had an 18-year-old wetback kid tell me that there was work in his home town of Mexico City, but a day’s wages wouldn’t buy a day’s food. Ain’t that a happyfying thought?
Basically, if the Mexican government didn’t encourage the northbounders, they’d have more of a revolution than what the narcotrafficantes are doing right now.

Once we secure the borders, can we send all the bureaucrats who’ve slandered Arizona to the other side and leave them there?
