Do we need to include crazy refrences to our government when the problem is with those latin governments that are crying about Arizona. Lets just enforce Mexico's law since it is better than ours
Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.
The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," violate Mexican law, are not "physically or mentally healthy" or lack the "necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents.
Per Washington Post : www.washingtontimes.com...

What happens when the prisons are overflowing with illegal immigrants? Who's footing the bill for those folks?
Just invade and annex Mexico if you want to stop these immigrants. It will give you more land, expanded borders and these folks will no longer have to sneak in to have the opportunities that we have.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted permisssion to Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru to present their viewpoints on Arizona's law on illegal immigrants.
Ahhh, the wonders of the 9th circuit court. Yet again, they trample legal citizens rights to protect the rights of criminals (both the illegal immigrant kind, and the ones behind bars in jail.). But this is staggering, even by the low standards of the 9th circuit...
To call Mexico's opinion on the Arizona law hypocritical would be an understatement.
If ever there was an example of why legal American citizens should wake the hell up, this would be it. According legitimacy to opinion from foreign countries on a matter of internal law is reprehensible...

It's more complex than that.
All this fixation on "secure borders" just screams FASCISM to me. Would you support a totalitarian state that sent illegals to concentration camps?

well, worst case scenario the "South" will rise again. They've been harping on that long enough. I am deeply saddened that this has come to this. I can understand that America was founded on immigration and that Mexicans are immigrants but it is the fact that the government doesn't even want to nationalize them otherwise the process would be easier or they would at least arrest those who refused to. The government should arrest illegals and then rather than deport them send them to immigration center to possibly get nationalized (however that would force them to give up Mexican citizenship). Instead, the federal government is suing Arizona because Arizona wants more power to arrest illegals? And the reason being because it is "race profiling." Um, since when has the federal government ever cared about race profiling, if they were so worried about race profiling black people would not have to worry about "driving while black."

the reason there isnt more outrage is the left controls the country............
they define events they define what is right and what is wrong and what is newsworthy............
they and they alone control the horizontal they control the vertical and they and they alone are taking this country to the outer limits of unsovereignty..............
we need people with pride and respect and honor and the courage and conviction running this country.....which we clearly dont have
its not arrogance that built this great country it was confidence....pride....honor
those things that this current government clearly dont have and that is why we need to clean house..edit on 6-10-2010 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

Considering America is comprised of 50 Sovereign States , and together is a Sovereign Nation as a whole, how could Any Foreign Goverment have ANY say in how we run our Country ? I wonder if the Fact the the U.S. Goverment Overlooks this little bit of Logic around the World might have something to do with this Story . .Hmm.....
