"Calderón could address Arizona law; US visit affords Mexico’s leader a chance to vent" by William Booth, Washington Post | May 18, 2010
MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderón arrives in Washington this week for a two-day state visit that was supposed to be a celebration of US-Mexican cooperation in his drug war.
You call that unending killing spree of a black hole a success to be "celebrated?"
I guess when you are running both sides of it..... sigh.
Instead, it is likely to showcase Mexico’s frustration over Arizona’s tough new immigration law, which Calderón has described as anti-Mexican.
Ain't no picnic on this side, either.
And try being an AmeriKan (thanks, war-mongering liar of a government) going anywhere these days -- or an AmeriKan without his papers in Meh-hee-co!

Hey, if it were up to me there wouldn't be a detention cell and you would get the single-payer, no questions asked single payer like in Cuba, etc; however, we got wars and banks and Israel on which to blow that money and set up their New World Order for them so don't blame me or call me racist for being for the rule of law.
I'm not the one who set up globalization leading to the situation and destroying these nations by undercutting local economies and cultures so corporations can rape and ravage the environment to extract resources -- forcing people to leave home and eventually become a potential illegal.
The people defending them are the same people who put them in that situation (including the agenda-pushing defender here); isn't that strange, readers?
The measure, which will soon require police to check the documents of people they stop for committing a crime and who they also suspect are in the country illegally, has put the hot-button issue of illegal immigration onto the bilateral agenda.
I have to show ID at the.... well, just about everywhere and certainly at the bank -- and I am a citizen (at least, last time I checked)!
At home, Calderón — who is usually cautious, lawyerly, and scripted in his remarks — speaks daily about the fight against the drug cartels, but rarely about immigration, although roughly 10 percent of Mexico’s population lives in the United States.
He has been frank in his condemnation of the Arizona law, however, saying it “opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination, and abuse in law enforcement’’ and noting that the US economy was built with a lot of Mexican sweat, including that of many in the country illegally.
Turn towards Israel for the list of grievances.

Oh, that's not racism.

And here AmeriKa is wide open -- to "terrorists" even.
In remarks to Spain’s El Pais newspaper Friday, he asserted that the law is creating tensions between the two countries.
In Mexico, the political class from right to left has closed ranks to deplore the Arizona measure, which has dominated front pages and television news here.
Here, too!!!!
It's called DIVERSION from WARS, ISRAEL'S BEHAVIOR, and the TANKING ECONOMY (except for the upper crust, of course; they doin' fine)!!!
Elected officials from the three major parties are exhorting Calderón to challenge it in Washington, where tomorrow he will be greeted with pomp at the White House and feted with high-end Mexican fusion food at a state dinner, and will address a joint session of Congress.
But the atmosphere might be a little strained....
The governors of the six northern Mexican states that share a border with the United States have denounced the law and said they would boycott an upcoming governors’ conference in Phoenix.
Fine, don't come.
The Mexican Embassy in Washington is preparing amicus briefs to support lawsuits by civil rights groups seeking repeal of the measure. The head of Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission declared the law xenophobic.
Tell it a Muslim somewhere with a violin, some cheese, and a bottle of, well, not wine, okay -- if they have managed to survive the USraeli-Anglo assault so far?
Sheeesh!!!
Mexican universities said they would suspend student-exchange programs involving Arizona. And cartoonists here have had a field day depicting an Arizona without Mexicans, where US citizens are forced to cook their own food, cut their lawns, pick their crops, and care for their children.
Okay, I'M TIRED of the INSULTS!
"illegal immigrants, who mow the lawns, trim the hedges, clean the swimming pools, park the cars, serve the hors d'oeuvres, tidy up the mansions, and do many of the other things that make life so enjoyable for the rich"
Yeah, REGULAR Americans DO THOSE THINGS THEMSELVES and LIKE IT!
The PROBLEM IS a LEGAL AMERICAN -- including a LEGAL IMMIGRANT -- would REQUIRE TAX PAYMENTS, HIGHER WAGES, and OTHER NASTY THINGS the RICH DO NOT LIKE!
They want SCARED SLAVES who are AFRAID to SPEAK OUT!!!
“So, yes, we don’t like this law,’’ Mexico’s interior secretary, Fernando Gomez-Mont, said at a forum in Washington this month.
Yeah, and I will give you ONE $ENT-BACK to MEXICO REA$ON WHY!!!
There are an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona, most of them from Mexico.
Which means it is way more; those are only the ones they think they could find.
Mexican migrants, legal and not, sent home more than $20 billion last year, the second leading source of legitimate foreign income in the country after oil sales.
What did I type above?
Illegal drug sales may account for as much as $25 billion.
Wow, that is PEANUTS compared to the LEGAL POISONERS!!!!

Oh, that'$ nice.
The US ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascual, who worked for six months to arrange the state visit for Calderón, has sought to calm emotions, repeating at every opportunity that President Obama and his administration consider the Arizona measure misdirected and are exploring legal challenges.
A former Mexican foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, now a professor at New York University, has described the law as “stupid but useful,’’ meaning that it may help create momentum for federal immigration reform.
I think this nation would rise up in that case; it was the only thing Congress has listened in years.
Maybe that is what they want: make the AmeriKan people so angry Obomber can invoke the Bush-era "emergency" tyranny that is still on the books.
DO NOT FALL FOR IT, Americans (and I know you are not; agent provocateurs call for such things).
The law also appears to be feeding Mexican frustration — usually expressed off the record — that the United States is not doing enough in the drug war. Mexican officials are complaining more openly that authorities here are under grenade attack by drug-smuggling syndicates while pot pharmacies in Los Angeles sell bags of marijuana to so-called patients.
Then LEGALIZE the S***!!!
The WAR has FAILED (as all wars do) and ENRICHES ONLY a FEW INTERESTS!!!
Of course, WE KNOW WHY what I CALL FOR never happens: there MAY ACTUALLY BE PEACE!!!

WASHINGTON — President Felipe Calderón of Mexico also told lawmakers reluctant to take up the immigration issue this year that a comprehensive immigration overhaul is crucial to securing the two countries’ common border....
All tools of the you-know-whos.
The Mexican leader said his country was doing its best, by promoting more jobs and opportunities at home, to reduce the flow of immigrants.
But he stressed the “need to fix a broken and inefficient system. . . . The time has come to reduce the causes of migration and to turn this phenomenon into a legal, ordered, and secure flow of workers and visitors.’’
YOUR BIOMETRIC CARDZ, pleeze!!!
Obama is pressing lawmakers to take up legislation that would deal with border security, employment, and citizenship.
He really wants to lose both houses of Congress, doesn't he?
Think of it as a higher calling, AmeriKans.
It is questionable whether Congress, in an election year, has an inclination to tackle such a highly sensitive issue.
Then again....

And it is a piecemeal effort, folks; little by little the control grid and girds its acceptance as it is constructed.
WASHINGTON — President Obama will deploy an additional 1,200 National Guard troops to the southern border and request $500 million extra for border security, according to an administration official. The decision comes as the White House seeks Republican support for broad immigration reform this year.
The official said the new resources will provide “immediate enhancement’’ to the border as the Obama administration continues to “work with Congress to fix our broken immigration system through comprehensive reform....’’

The nation also focused on financial stability that he said has allowed Mexico to avoid a crisis such as the one in Greece. Mexico’s economy grew 4.3 percent in the first quarter of this year, he said.
Calderón added that Mexico is building medical clinics with the goal of providing universal health coverage to “every Mexican who needs it’’ by 2012....

MEXICO CITY — A remarkable mass protest, under threat of service interruption, millions are refusing to submit their personal data for a very Mexican reason: They don’t trust the government....

The National Mobile-Phone User Registry has been declared a fiasco. Its future is unknown.
The goals were noble. With the end of cellular anonymity, authorities promised to combat the growing scourge of virtual kidnapping, or phoning victims to claim — falsely — that a spouse or child has just been kidnapped.
As opposed to putting lies leading to wars on the front pages of a newspaper?
The extortionists demand instant payment, by wire transfer or access to a bank account.
Reminds me of someone.
These fake kidnapping calls are often accompanied by the muffled sound of someone whimpering in fear or pleading for help. Mexican prisons frequently serve as the de facto call centers for these extortion rings, which operate in complicity with guards who provide phones and reportedly take a commission.
Ah, the SWEET STENCH of CORRUPTION!!!!

"Cancun mayor charged with drug cartel ties" by Associated Press | June 2, 2010
MEXICO CITY — The mayor of Cancun was charged with drug trafficking ties yesterday, forcing him to end his campaign for governor in a scandal that has shaken Mexico’s upcoming state elections.
A federal judge indicted Gregorio Sanchez on charges of organized crime and money laundering a week after he was arrested in Mexico’s most important tourist resort. Prosecutors say he protected two of Mexico’s most brutal drug gangs and lived beyond his means....
Why not? They are ALL WORKING for GOVERNMENTS!!!!
Officials have said they cannot remember another Mexican election candidate ever being charged with drug ties in the middle of a campaign, and leaders of Sanchez’s party say the allegations are politically motivated.
The July 4 elections in 10 Mexican states have already been marred by attacks and threats against candidates, fueling fears that Mexico’s powerful drug cartels are increasingly infiltrating politics through bribes and intimidation.
Can I give the AmeriKan MSM a YELLOW CARD for this, readers?
One candidate for mayor of a northern town near the border with Texas was shot dead inside his business after ignoring warnings to drop out of the race.
Judge Carlos Elorza said prosecutors have submitted testimony and documents indicating that Sanchez was using illegally obtained funds and had ties to the Beltran Leyva and Zetas cartels.--more--"

"Killing ignites US-Mexico tension; Boy’s death exposes distrust between nations" by Christopher Sherman and Olivia Torres, Associated Press | June 10, 2010
What?
After all the positive pub I've read in the paper?
I mean, WE WERE CELEBRATIN'!!!!
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Pointing their rifles, Mexican security forces chased away US authorities investigating the shooting of a 15-year-old Mexican by a US Border Patrol agent on the banks of the Rio Grande, the FBI and witnesses said yesterday.
Not Muslim so we don't attack, we run?
The killing of the Mexican by US authorities — the second in less than two weeks — has exposed the distrust between the two countries that lies just below the surface, and has enraged Mexicans who see the death of the boy on Mexican soil as an act of murder.
So the POMP of PUBLIC POLITICS and MSM PROP is ALL a bunch of POOP, huh?
Shortly after the boy was shot, Mexican soldiers arrived at the scene and pointed their guns at the Border Patrol agents across the riverbank while bystanders screamed insults and hurled rocks and firecrackers, FBI spokeswoman Andrea Simmons said. She said the agents were forced to withdraw.
“It pretty quickly got very intense over on the Mexican side,’’ she said, adding that FBI agents showed up later and resumed the investigation, even as Mexican authorities pointed guns at them from across the river....
The Mexican authorities accused the Americans of trying to recover evidence from Mexican soil and threatened to kill them if they crossed the border, prompting both sides to draw their guns, said the 16-year-old boy who asked not to be further identified for fear of reprisal.
The confrontation occurred Monday night over the body of Sergio Adrian Hernandez Huereka, who died of his wounds beside the column of a railroad bridge connecting Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso.
Each government has made veiled accusations suggesting misconduct on the part of the other’s law enforcement agents.
Hernandez was found 20 feet into Mexico, and an autopsy revealed that the fatal shot was fired at a relatively close range, according to Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general’s office.So it was an EXECUTION!
Mexican authorities said a .40 caliber shell casing was found near the body, suggesting that the Border Patrol agent might have crossed into Mexico to shoot the boy.

WASHINGTON — Law enforcement agencies have arrested more than 2,200 people in a 22-month investigation targeting Mexican drug trafficking organizations in the United States, the Justice Department announced yesterday.
Which government agency gave the the list of names?
The probe, called Project Deliverance, focused on the transportation networks that carry methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana into the United States, with return trips of drug proceeds and weapons.

The initiative struck a significant blow against the cartels, but it was “just one battle in what is an ongoing war,’’ Attorney General Eric H. Holder said at a news conference....
