Dictator Of Failed State Lectures Americans About Freedom

Thursday, May 20, 2010

Americans were once again forced to endure the dictator of a failed state which represses and subjugates its citizens as a matter of course lecturing the U.S. about how ‘his people’ were being discriminated against yesterday when unelected Mexican President Felipe Calderon bashed the Arizona illegal immigration law.

Calderon commented, “Such laws as the Arizona law…is forcing our people to face discrimination,” during a visit to the White House.

Calderon later attacked the second amendment in a speech to the U.S. Congress, blaming Mexico’s spiraling drug violence on guns being smuggled from inside America, while failing to mention the fact that lax border security, something he vehemently supports – but only on American borders – is the primary cause of this problem.

Calderon’s use of the term “our people” is a slap in the face of every American and every Hsipanic American who has emigrated legally. Since when did a leader of a foreign nation address his own constituency from within an entirely different country? If the millions of illegal aliens living in America see themselves as Mexicans then why do they insist on staying in the U.S. illegally?

Maybe Calderon should be more worried about discrimination against Mexicans who are actually still living in Mexico. His sudden concern for the rights of his people didn’t seem so important when he “assumed” office as President despite the Federal Electoral Tribunal admitting major irregularities with the voting in the 2006 election.

Calderon is an illegitimate dictator who has presided over a failed state run by drug cartels and crime bosses. For him to lecture the United States on how to run a country is like Pol Pot wagging the finger at someone for human rights abuses.

Mexico is a total police state where its inhabitants and anyone who dares visit are subjected to some of the most draconian and brutal law enforcement measures on the planet.

As Arizona resident Mike Sweeney writes, “Having traveled into Mexico last year to various cities on the Baja Peninsula, a distance of more than 1,000 miles round-trip, we were stopped more than 20 times at various checkpoints. At most of those stops, we were told to exit the vehicle and we were subjected to rigorous inspections.

“Where does Mexican President Felipe Calderón get off with his hypocritical outrage at our Senate Bill 1070?”

Arizona is attempting to enforce a law that is significantly fairer than that followed by Mexico itself.

“Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals,” reports the Washington Times.

Mexico also bars foreigners who upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” which is the very definition of racial discrimination.

Meanwhile, we were treated to another public relations sideshow when, after Michelle Obama had danced with kids around a Mexican flag in a New Hampshire elementary school, one of the children admitted that her mother was an illegal alien. Cue another round of phony tearjerker propaganda about how families will be split up if the “racist” Arizona law is enforced, which is quite rich coming from a news corporation that is 80 per cent owned by a military contractor whose primary role is to manufacture bombs to kill brown people in the third world.

The majority of Americans support the Arizona law and the majority of Hispanic-Americans and other minority groups routinely support immigration enforcement in general. If not wanting hordes of illegal aliens crossing into America every day makes you a racist, then the majority of Hispanics, Asian-Americans and African Americans are all racists.

The following text has been circulated by email for years but it’s never been more prescient. Compare how the U.S. treats illegals versus other countries and then judge if Arizona’s attempts to restore some sense of balance is justified, or a crime against humanity as some are characterizing it.

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.

IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.

IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.

IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.

If YOU cross the Mexican Border Illegally, you will end up in a Mexican Federal Jail for a very long stay that is NOT very nice! Believe me, you do NOT want to end up in a Mexican Jail!!!!!

IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET:

1 – A JOB,

2 – A DRIVERS LICENSE,

3 – SOCIAL SECURITY CARD,

4 – WELFARE,

5 – FOOD STAMPS,

6 – CREDIT CARDS,

I was just going to post about this, but you beat me to it!! I love the end of your post-How true...

This Mexican bastard must be one of the many stupid people who can't see that having an armed citizenry lowers crime rates.. If a criminal is unsure whether or not a homeowner has a firearm, they'll be much less likely to rob them.. If they know they don't have a firearm because they are outlawed, or if they know they have the homeowner outgunned with a machine gun because it's illegal for the homeowner to own such a weapon, he'll be more likely to rob them... These people act as if they're literally retarded when they think that a gun-free society in possible, especially with a shithole like Mexico as your neighbor...

Regarding the Arizona law causing Mexicans to be discriminated against, I call bullshit!! They CANNOT be stopped because of suspicion of immigration status! It can only be ascertained after effecting a legal stop for another offense, and then, what the hell's the problem with simply showing proof of citizenship.. That's not harassment..

(Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon urged the U.S. Congress on Thursday to reinstate a ban on assault weapons to help cut cross-border gun smuggling and reduce drug gang violence for its southern neighbor.

U.S.

In a speech to a joint session of Congress, Calderon described efforts to fight organized crime in Mexico, where 23,000 people have been killed in drug violence since he came to power in late 2006 and launched an army offensive.

Washington is also aiding Mexico's battle against drug gangs with a 2007 pledge of $1.4 billion for equipment and police training to help fight the cartels that ship some $40 billion worth of illegal drugs north each year.

The drug violence has become a major political test for Calderon and a growing worry for Washington and foreign investors as violence has spread across the southwest border.

"There is one issue where Mexico needs your cooperation. And that is stopping the flow of assault weapons and other deadly arms across the border," Calderon said to a standing ovation from U.S. lawmakers.

Calderon said the increase in violence in Mexico had coincided with the 2004 lifting of a U.S. assault weapons ban.

The 10-year ban on the sale of assault weapons to civilians expired without being extended by Congress. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has said the administration favors reinstituting the ban, though guns rights groups oppose it.

Calderon said he respects Americans' Second Amendment right to bear arms but said many of the guns are getting into the hands of criminals.

SEIZING GUNS

Mexico has seized around 75,000 guns and assault weapons in the last three years, Calderon said. He said more than 80 percent of them came from the United States and noted there were more than 7,000 gun shops along the border.

"I would ask Congress to help us, with respect, and to understand how important it is for us that you enforce current laws to stem the supply of these weapons to criminals and consider reinstating the assault weapons ban," he said.

Though Calderon's request received applause and a standing ovation from mainly Democratic lawmakers, Republicans criticized the Mexican leader for discussing U.S. laws.

"It was inappropriate for President Calderon to lecture Americans on our own state and federal laws," said Senator John Cornyn, a member of the Republican leadership. "Moreover, the Second Amendment is not a subject open for diplomatic negotiation, with Mexico or any other nation."

On immigration -- a common theme during his visit to Washington -- Calderon said his country was trying to improve economic conditions so Mexicans would not feel the need to leave their country in order to succeed.

He said Mexico expected more than 4 percent growth this year, even though data released on Thursday showed the economy shrank quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of this year.

Millions of people are still crossing the U.S. border illegally to seek work. An estimated 10.8 million illegal immigrants live in the United States, most of them from Mexico and Central America.

Calderon repeated his opposition to a new Arizona law that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.

"We must find together a better way to face and fix this common problem," he said.

McClintockCA04 — May 20, 2010 — Response to President Calderon
House Chamber, Washington, D.C.
May 20, 2010

M. Speaker:

I rise to take strong exception to the speech of the President of Mexico while in this chamber today.

The Mexican government has made it very clear for many years that it holds American sovereignty in contempt and President Calderons behavior as a guest of the Congress confirms and underscores this attitude.



I would also ad that many of our Government officials are demonstrating contempt for US citizens.
