Dear Mexico, I’m so sorry that our decision to enforce immigration and build a fence, use surveillance and put more boots on the ground at the border is a concern to you. Update: Your citizens are your responsibility, hence the term ILLEGAL immigrant. Your citizens may feel free to enter our borders legally, but we are not longer accepting illegal entry. Likewise, feel free to expel US squatters on your soil.

Mexico’s concerns are valid; we want to secure our southern border.
Is there a problem here? Illegals must be stopped at the border.
Don’t come here if you have a problem with our laws; stay home.

So Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Meade has stated on television that securing the southern border of the United States with Mexico departs “…from the principles of shared responsibility and good neighborliness”? No. Sorry.

Responsibility means building a decent country out of your present drug cartel controlled cesspool. Being “good neighbors” means not allowing all of your neighboring countries to YOUR south to use your territory as a freeway into the U.S. for their fugitives and drugs.

“”We’re convinced that fences do not unite, fences are not the solution to the migration phenomenon and are not in line with a modern, safe border.” And WE’RE convinced that fences are an appropriate separation between societies that have little in common and should NOT “unite”.

You people are like permissive parents, whose teenager would steal and wreck our car should we leave the keys in it, and then sue us for OUR failure to lock it. Sorry. Teach your people some manners AND TO STAY HOME!

That “…immigration bill backed by President Barack Obama…in the U.S. Senate…” will NOT “…grant legal status to millions of undocumented foreigners, who would be put on a 13-year path to citizenship.” It will grant AMNESTY to between 11 and 20 million illegal aliens who have violated our laws and our border in coming here that, if allowed to stay, will bankrupt our great nation. Better they GO HOME and build a “better place for their dreams” THERE!

It will lower the profits they skim off the drug and human smuggling trade. Mexico’s peasant class will start demanding welfare from their own government instead of ours. Naturally they are worried.

Of course they’re concerned. If we ever got serious about border security it could ruin their invasion of our country. It could also put a serious dent in the flow of American money being sent to Mexico by the invaders. It would make Mexico responsible for more of its citizens because they wouldn’t be able to send their poor to us. You’re damned right they’re concerned because if we ever REALLY got serious about securing our southern border it would mean ‘the party’s over’ for Mexico.
We need to kill this S744 amnesty bill because America should never reward law breakers… especially when they’re foreign nationals, NOT citizens of our country. Kill this bill and then give us the enforcement of our immigration laws, security of our borders and no amnesty that we were promised with the 1986 amnesty we gave. Help us stop this amnesty bill… www.Remember1986.com (And please join us with people from all over our country and from EVERY political party to march in D.C. on July 15th. Info at www.DCMarchforJobs.com and please give both groups a ‘like’ on Facebook).

Maybe the government of Mexico should stop giving its citizens comics on how to break in.
