Mexico's hypocrisy cause of growing hostility

By Rick Schneider, Publisher

Mexican bureaucrats criticize our efforts to restrict issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants with no proof of citizenship, so why does Mexico require an American to have a valid visa in order to get a Mexican driver’s license?

In Mexico you cannot receive free social services and an education unless you are a Mexican citizen. Why does Mexico feel illegals should get these benefits free in the United States?

Illegal immigrants caught on Mexico’s southern border are often beaten, robbed and thrown in hellhole prisons. Why is Mexico concerned with how illegals are treated in our country?

Mexico claims to be working to stem the flow of illegals into our country, but it issues maps showing them how to enter the United States illegally. Mexican air carriers are doing a booming business booking flight to get illegals near our border, and police officials ignore all the smugglers and businesses that have sprung up along the border that exist solely to help illegals sneak into our country.

Now Mexican President Felipe Calderon is upset at our efforts to round up illegal immigrants in what he terms a “growing harassment.” He admits that 6 million of the 11 million Mexican immigrants in the United States are here illegally.

According to the Associated Press, Calderon has endorsed the creation of a League Against Discrimination Against Mexicans in the United States. The AP reported he wants to “launch direct media campaigns aimed at showing migrant success stories and raise awareness of the many contributions migrants make to the U.S. society.”


In other words, Calderon wants Mexico to sponsor ad campaigns that encourage more illegals to enter our country.

Most American love their Mexican neighbors and understand why its hopelessly poor seek a better life in our country, but until Mexico cleans up its widespread corruption and comes to terms with its blatant hypocrisy in the illegal immigration debate, American hostility toward illegal immigration will continue to grow.
