Mexico joins lawsuit against Arizona

[Bold Believer]

Mexico has filed an amicus curae (friend of the court) brief in one of the 5 lawsuits being brought against Arizona.

"Mexico has a duty to protect its citizens and ensure that their ethnic origin is not used as a basis for committing discriminatory acts", the Mexican foreign ministry said in a statement. (BBC NEWS)

Mexico also has a duty to keep its citizens at home and keep them from sneaking over the US border in what amounts to an illegal invasion.

The thing that concerns me? This:

"It said it would respond forcefully to any violation of the fundamental human rights of all Mexicans in Arizona, independent of their immigration status." (BBC NEWS)

(The 'it' is of course Mexico.) Exactly what are you threatening, Mexico? Do you threaten war? Because if you do, you had best be able to carry it out. Despite the fact that there are US troops abroad, we are more than able to deal with any military effort you attempt. You might want to define just what you mean.

Well George, I'd like to think so. Chances are that you're correct...however. we have millions of Mexican citizens in the US illegally. Given that a portion of them are young men of military age, and that of that portion, let's say 10% are loyal to Mexico politically, that still constitutes a sizable fifth column on American soil. With easy access to weapons here in the USA, what would it take to run a few dozen special operatives across an already porous Southern US border to train that loyal 10% in guerrilla activity? Two words: NOT MUCH.

This is a very slippery slope. BUT, let's remember this is not rounding up all people of a certain nationality, the problem is the "illegal" ones. Emphasis on ILLEGAL.

It has gone way past that now. For reasons of national security (I hate that phrase, it sounds Hitlerian), we may well HAVE to do just that. Can you tell who IS and IS NOT an illegal, just by looking? The only way is to stop them and demand to see their Green Card. The Cartels have set up armed paramilitary camps INSIDE ARIZONA. They are openly attacking US law enforcement. What is Mexico doing? Threatening to act forcefully against the US. To me, that is tacit support. We know that Mexico is a corrupt state with a corrupt government. For all we know, the cartels have bought off the Mexican president.

Mexico is interfering in US affairs. We need to tell the Mexican government to mind its own business.

Well Former Mexican Vicente Fox slipped and called the influx of illegals into the U.S. an "Invasion"...

Americus Curry indeed. Their citizen rights end at the border. I say bring it.

And I agree this is a very volatile situation, and money (or the love thereof) is at the root. The illegal drug sales within the U.S. makes it [Arizona] a very lucrative trade route. But, we should remember this is American soil!

But back to the original point. I think we could start by having much stiffer penalties for those who are "illegal"! Grant the illegals 30 days to get back across the border, once the thirty days have passed, make it a "federal offence" to be in the U.S. without proper documentation.

For those that are in the process of doing things the right way. Give them an extra 30 days.

It's not a fix all, but it would be a good start.

Oh, and BTW any Mexican military found organizing in the U.S. should be treated as an invading force.

Are terrorist organizations not cozying up to nations south of the US? Can you tell the difference between a syrian and a mexican at a glance?
