Mexican - USA Border 5/1/10 Revision

5/1/10

The best solution to the immigration issue in my opinion is to vastly increase legal immigration AND to fence the border. Don't keep people out who want to come here to work honestly, but keep control of the situation.

The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling? – If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care. – Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim). – Law enforcement officials at all levels — by national mandate — 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. – Ready to show your papers? Mexico’s National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens’ identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.

I was chatting with this dude...really nice guy. We were talking to the bartender, a very cute chick with a buzz haircut.

It turns out this guy is very proud of being "off the grid" so the Man can't get him.

He doesn't pay taxes.

He's not a citizen. Despite his excellent English, it turns out he's Mexican, not American. He's not one of my people, he's not Chicano, he's a Mexican.

The two of them were chatting gleefully about how this country does nothing for them and how they don't give a damn about Uncle Sam.

Dude...why the Hell aren't you down in Mexico then? Right across the border, head down to Tijuana...or maybe you prefer Ciudad Juarez...you know, those little towns a few hours drive away from here (or El Paso) where the gangs recruit ex Special Forces members from the Mexican military and fight the police with grenades and automatic weapons in coordinated ambushes.

Every dead cop in this country rolled in his or her grave when I heard this.

I want a damned fence on the border.
