Mexican president challenges anti immigration rhetoric
WE ARE NARCO-MEX’S WELFARE SYSTEM. HERE WE JUST REFER TO IT AS WELFARE FOR EMPLOYERS....
“It's as if many Americans are waiting around for Mexico to solve our immigration problem by creating jobs south of the border or physically restraining those intent on crossing into the United States. If so, they're going to be waiting a long time. Mexico now takes in about $23 billion annually in remittances from Mexicans living in the United States. It has no interest in turning off the golden faucet.
Interestingly when illegals attempt to cross Mexico’s own southern border they are mauled and put in jail by Mexican police.
When Mexican business hire illegals they are fined big time.
You can never underestimate the hypocrisy of Mexico, nor that nation’s shamelessness in dumping 40 million of their poor, pregnant and criminal classes over our open borders. But this is allowed to happen by our own country’s betrayal of its people on behalf of profits.
CALDERÓN NOTES THE CHANGING U.S. POLITICAL PICTURE
By Ruben Navarrette Jr. 02/13/2008
Less than two years after taking office, Mexican President Felipe Calderón is getting mixed reviews from the Mexican people. On the one hand, he gets high marks for reforming the tax system, fixing a massive public pension fund and launching a $25 billion public works initiative. But he is also getting flak for not being vocal enough in protesting what many Mexicans see as the harsh and unfair treatment of their sons and daughters in the United States.
That is a fascinating turnabout. Not long ago, Mexicans were much too proud to think about the migrants who fled to the north searching for better opportunities. Now they're demanding that their leaders go to bat for these expatriates against what they see as a cruelty born of American xenophobia.
And that's why Calderón is on a whirlwind, five day swing though the United States with stops in Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Sacramento. Aides say that the main purpose of the trip is to focus attention on the Mexican immigrant community in this country.
Even before leaving Mexico City, Calderón set off fireworks with provocative interviews in U.S. newspapers. He surveyed the U.S. presidential race and without mentioning specific candidates noted approvingly that moderates have done well. "The most radical and anti immigrant candidates have been left behind and have been put in their place by their own electorate," he told one reporter.
Indeed, the three leading candidates for president John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton all support a comprehensive approach that provides a path to legalization. Although McCain now says that his first priority would be to secure the border, he hasn't ruled out legalization once the border is under control. Nor has McCain flirted with the sort of nativist arguments that other Republicans find so hard to resist, about how immigrants are destroying the national identity and changing the country's landscape for the worse.
Yet, Calderón noted to another reporter, conservative talk show hosts and others are ratcheting up their anti immigrant rhetoric and creating a hostile environment for all Mexicans in the United States. Calderón said this has produced "an atmosphere full of prejudice, an anti immigrant atmosphere with certain themes that are also anti Mexican, that benefits no one." And, he said, the worst thing that can happen is that countries mistake neighbors for enemies.
Many Americans commit that error. They're so reluctant to accept any responsibility for illegal immigration a self inflicted wound that they bring upon themselves by aggressively hiring illegal immigrants they can't wait to pin the blame on Mexico and its leaders.
I hear it all the time. It's as if many Americans are waiting around for Mexico to solve our immigration problem by creating jobs south of the border or physically restraining those intent on crossing into the United States. If so, they're going to be waiting a long time. Mexico now takes in about $23 billion annually in remittances from Mexicans living in the United States. It has no interest in turning off the golden faucet.
Calderón would probably argue with me about that, just as he did when we were graduate school classmates in 2000. He believes, as many Mexicans are slowly realizing, that the country is losing some of its best people and that the Mexican family perhaps the country's most beloved institution is disintegrating because of massive migration. This week, Calderón told an audience at Harvard University, his alma mater, that he didn't want to lose more people to the United States, only to better serve and protect those Mexicans who are already here.
For me and, I dare say, for many Mexican Americans who are loyal to this country and not the one that had little use for our parents or grandparents the immigration debate is an issue of national sovereignty. Calderón accepts that nations have the right to enforce their laws and control their borders. But, for him, this is also an issue of human rights rights that don't vanish at the U.S. Mexico border.

Mexico prefers to export its poor, not uplift them
“Washington and Ottawa have every right to insist that Mexico's pampered elite act responsibly, rather than expecting US and Canadian taxpayers to shoulder burdens Mexico should assume.”
March 30, 2006 edition - http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0330/p09s02-coop.html By George W. Grayson
WILLIAMSBURG, VA. - At the parleys this week with his US and Canadian counterparts in Cancún, Mexican President Vicente Fox will press for more opportunities for his countrymen north of the Rio Grande. Specifically, he will argue for additional visas for Mexicans to enter the United States and Canada, the expansion of guest-worker schemes, and the "regularization" of illegal immigrants who reside throughout the continent. In a recent interview with CNN, the Mexican chief executive excoriated as "undemocratic" the extension of a wall on the US-Mexico border and called for the "orderly, safe, and legal" northbound flow of Mexicans, many of whom come from his home state of Guanajuato. Mexican legislators share Mr. Fox's goals. Silvia Hernández Enriquez, head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for North America, recently emphasized that the solution to the "structural phenomenon" of unlawful migration lies not with "walls or militarization" but with "understanding, cooperation, and joint responsibility." Such rhetoric would be more convincing if Mexican officials were making a good faith effort to uplift the 50 percent of their 106 million people who live in poverty. To his credit, Fox's "Opportunities" initiative has improved slightly the plight of the poorest of the poor. Still, neither he nor Mexico's lawmakers have advanced measures that would spur sustained growth, improve the quality of the workforce, curb unemployment, and obviate the flight of Mexicans abroad. Indeed, Mexico's leaders have turned hypocrisy from an art form into an exact science as they shirk their obligations to fellow citizens, while decrying efforts by the US senators and representatives to crack down on illegal immigration at the border and the workplace. Insufficient revenues mean that Mexico spends relatively little on two key elements of social mobility: Education commands just 5.3 percent of its GDP and healthcare only 6.10 percent, according to the World Bank's last comparative study. Transparency International, a nongovernmental organization, placed Mexico in a tie with Ghana, Panama, Peru, and Turkey for 65th among 158 countries surveyed for corruption. Geography, self-interests, and humanitarian concerns require North America's neighbors to cooperate on myriad issues, not the least of which is immigration. However, Mexico's power brokers have failed to make the difficult decisions necessary to use their nation's bountiful wealth to benefit the masses. Washington and Ottawa have every right to insist that Mexico's pampered elite act responsibly, rather than expecting US and Canadian taxpayers to shoulder burdens Mexico should assume.
