On the recordMay 10, 2006
last week, street protests revealed a lot about the hypocrisy of Mexico. With a great deal of bluster and self- righteousness, the protestors objected to the House-approved border security bill. They said it was ``too harsh.'' They said it was ``draconian.'' They said we shouldn't criminalize 11 million illegal immigrants. They said we should, instead, give them amnesty and citizenship. They waved their Mexican flags with great pride. Well, a new study just released by the Law Library of Congress, reveals that Mexico itself is far harsher on illegal immigrants than the United States. For example, in Mexico, it is a felony punishable by 2 years in prison merely to be an illegal immigrant. In contrast to giving them citizenship, Mexico actually deported 250,000 illegal immigrants last year. Mexico even put their military soldiers on their southern border to stop illegals from going into Mexico from Guatemala. Hypocrisy has crossed the border. It makes you wonder, were they protesting the wrong country last week? ____________________
