Would it be possible for any of our states to adopt the same laws that Mexico would use againist any U.S. citizen for crossing the border into their country. If we adopted their laws, their could be no argument between the 2 counties of who is right or wrong and would strenghten our puny law to something that had some teeth to it. A misdemeanor doesn't cut it, it should be a felony to come into our county illegally.

I have been saying that for YEARS! Even before Lou Dobbs-anyone remember him?
He used to talk about Mexico laws.

To shut up Mexico and our own bed-wetters, just copy Mexico�s own immigration laws.
Close the border tight as a tick to stop the drug flood into our country.

What would they have to bitch about then? 

Maybe we could ask Calderone to help us with that while he is here bashing what we come up with...


I sure he would be happy for us to duplicate their laws....

Of course that is an excellent idea, but how would it square with the universal mexican and American liberal view that they have a right to be here?

I wish SOMEONE with access to him had the BALLS to ask that question!

Calderon Criticism of Arizona Law Overlooks Mexico's Tough Immigration Policy

FOXNews.com

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has been ripping into Arizona's immigration law as he tours Washington -- while appearing to disregard the way his own country cracks down on immigrants along Mexico's southern border.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has been ripping into Arizona's immigration law as he tours Washington -- while appearing to disregard the way his own country cracks down on immigrants along Mexico's southern border.

Mexico repeatedly has been cited by human rights groups for abusing or turning a blind eye to the abuse of migrants from Central America. Until recently, Mexican law made illegal immigration a criminal offense -- anyone arrested for the violation could be fined, imprisoned for up to two years and deported. Mexican lawmakers changed that in 2008 to make illegal immigration a civil violation like it is in the United States, but their law still reads an awful lot like Arizona's.

Arizona's policy, which Calderon derided on Wednesday as "discriminatory" and assailed again on Thursday, requires law enforcement to try to determine the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant -- provided they are already in contact with that person. They can't randomly stop people and demand papers and the law prohibits racial profiling.

The Mexican law also states that law enforcement officials are "required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues."

Calderon, who addressed members of Congress Thursday morning, was facing criticism on Capitol Hill for his remarks.

Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, called Calderon's comments inappropriate.

"It's a little bit like inviting a guest over for dinner and then having them criticize the food," he told Fox News. Smith wrote Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday to complain that Mexican officials have "crossed the line and are interfering in the internal affairs of the United States."

Calderon said Wednesday that his country would retain its "firm rejection" of a policy where "people that work and provide things to this nation will be treated as criminals."

The comments came just weeks after Amnesty International issued a report claiming illegal immigrants in Mexico -- typically from Central America -- face abuse, rape and kidnappings, and that Mexican police do little to stop it. When illegal immigration was a criminal offense in Mexico, officials were known to seek bribes from suspects to keep them out of jail.

President Obama joined Calderon in criticizing the Arizona policy on Wednesday. He is trying to build support for a comprehensive federal immigration overhaul.

I've maintained this for years also...

The law is good for Mexico.. so it would be good for the USA...

on the other end, what a bunch of hypocrits Mexico is..with dual standards..

Add me to the list of supporters of this idea.

Send Hillary down there and have her wave a copy of their own immigration law in Calderone's face.

Seriously, I don't understand why this isn't a major issue in our official relations with Mexico.

Of course, not being as smart as a liberal, er "progressive", I guess I just don't understand and appreciate the "nuances" involved.

Mexicans here and in Mexico are rather upset by the recent enactment of stricter anti-illegal alien laws by Arizona's governor.

In light of the following, that position demonstrates the typical double standard used by race-hustlers and assorted something-for-nothings. Read on, and read it to the end.
