Mexican Standoff?

The only thing more disturbing than Jorge Castaneda's testimony about illegal immigration was the lack of outrage from the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Mr. Castaneda had been the Mexican foreign minister in the current Vicente Fox administration. He now is a New York University professor and independent candidate for president of Mexico.

Opponents of illegal immigration are incensed because Castaneda said the United States cannot secure its southern border without Mexico's blessing. And that it will not have Mexico's blessing until America agrees to a series of almost non-negotiable demands.

"Unless and until both governments bite the bullet and reach an understanding on an all-encompassing joint border security initiative, with adequate funding and infrastructure, the violence and criminal activity at the border will remain unabated," he told the senators.

Unilateral measures relating to immigration that are adopted by the U.S. without consultation and agreement with Mexico are doomed to fail, he said.

It's an out and out threat isn't it?

I believe the 'professor' neglects to recognoze the will and reslove of many Americans to stop the INVASION from mexico. That the current and past administrations have ignored the problem means nothing, espcecially when the American public is fed up with paying for illegals. The mexican government may wake to to find the American military manning the border then we'll see if the mexican government can do anything about the border. Some people need a wake up call.

Looks like Americans living near the border may be in need of assistance of whatever source we can muster.

If the government wants to hand our security over to mexico, they're in for a sad awakening.

Plus lots of ammo.

This is some bull. A barrier across the border along with the military would stop illegals with ease. Illegals come over because of the government's lack of effort and non-desire to stop them.

This imbecile smells to me like a drug rat trying to figure out a better way to bring illegal drugs to the drug morons we have here.
