Mexico's President, Felipe Calderon, has publicly criticized the new Arizona law which makes illegal immigration a State crime. He said the new law "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement".
The law does raise some valid concerns about Americans right to privacy and police states but that is none of Mexico's business - or is it? Ahhh, business... money.... American money.
First of all, I have to ask - what does Mexico's government know at all about effective law enforcement? The drug cartels over there are slaying police officers in the streets on a daily basis. I guess that's okay as long as the police officers are not being abusive. Their government corruption makes ours look fine (and ours is bad). Secondly, why should Mexico be at all so concerned about a U.S. security law to invoke their Foreign Relations Department to issue warnings to their citizens. “Nobody can sit around with their arms crossed in the face of decisions that so clearly affect our countrymen,” said Calderon at a speech he gave to the "Institute For Mexicans Abroad". You mean, your countrymen that want to be OUR illegal countrymen? And what is that anyway - The "Institute For Mexicans Abroad". Fishy - at least the kind that swim in the Rio Grand.
So here is what I have to say to Felipe Calderon and the Institute For Mexicans Abroad. Mind yourself. Go fix yourself and talk to us about decisions and intolerance when you have your stuff together a little better.
