MEXICO’S SUPREMACY
NEW
YORK (CNN) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon Sunday demanded the United
States surrender its sovereignty, abandon the rule of law and accede to
Mexico's inherent supremacy.
Lou
Dobbs says Mexican President Felipe Calderon is showing "blatant
hypocrisy" on
immigration.
In his state of the union address to the
Mexican nation, Calderon established his imperialistic imperatives: "I
have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a
Mexican, there is Mexico. And, for this reason, the government action on behalf
of our countrymen is guided by principles, for the defense and protection of
their rights."
Calderon
protested the U.S. government's increased raids on illegal employers of illegal
alien employees and work site enforcement. In what is little more than a faint
nod to the Bush administration's responsibility to enforce U.S. immigration
law, the Department of Homeland Security had planned to send out notices to
employers from the Social Security Administration informing them of
non-matching records between an employee's name and Social Security number.
These employers would then be forced to resolve any discrepancy within 90 days
or be required to dismiss the employee or face up to $10,000 in fines for
knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.
But
then, ethnocentric advocacy groups and some labor unions, trying to bolster
their membership, sued to stop the crackdown on hiring illegal alien workers. A
federal judge in California last week issued a temporary restraining order
blocking the plan, giving a victory to the AFL-CIO, the American Civil
Liberties Union and the National Immigration Law Center, all of which brought
the suit alleging DHS exceeded its authority in making the rule.
That
U.S. District Court judge ruled as if she were an employee of the Mexican
government, rather than the U.S. government. Homeland Security was simply enforcing
existing immigration laws. Are we not a nation that follows the rule of law? If
not, we're no country at all.
Calderon
must have been delighted by the judge's decision. Calderon, like his predecessors, Carlos Salinas and Vicente Fox, has
failed miserably to establish policies that would create jobs for the Mexican
people and to eliminate shameful, unchecked corruption and incompetence in the
Mexican government.
