President Felipe Calderon is a little frustrated with the United States. Get in line, my man.
Lately it seems that illegal immigrants, or legal migrant workers who have committed crimes in the United States, have just been dumped on the Mexican side of the border, causing them to become involved with criminal organizations in Mexico.
This is leading to increased violence in many of the U.S.-Mexico border towns. According to Calderon, we should be trying these criminals in U.S. courts first, to ensure that they are, in fact, guilty of crimes before sending them back to Mexico.
Yep. That’s right, Mr. President. You’ve called ‘em out. So…you gonna pay for those escalating court costs? Because someone is supposed to, and someone has to. And let me guess, you’re not going to enforce the payment of applicable fines for illegal activity after your citizens have been found guilty of the crimes…?
I get that it’s rough in Mexico–the drug cartels are running that place–but I also know that these migrants who are offered the opportunity to work in the U.S. legally, and blow said opportunity would be best served by being escorted back south of the border.
Yep. Allow this law to be written while, and as its performed. I would estimate that about 98 percent of American citizens, especially the taxpayers in the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have no desire to foot the bill for public defense. So, if it’s red tape, black ink or the bottom line you’re worried about, I’m sure the affiliated governments in the U.S. can get that taken care of.
Seriously, President Calderon…do you think the U.S. courts system is going to offer a fair trial to any single one of these people? Maybe instead you should start an outreach program that is ready to welcome them at the border.

These immigration issues calls for a Congressional corrections, after the '2006 Secure Fence act' is resurrected and built as planned. This was a double-layer fence parallel to each other, as signed into law by former president Bush. Currently waiting in the wings is Lamar Smith's 'Legal Workforce Act' that disinclined GOP leaders who are wavering in bringing (H.R. 2885 bill) to the floor of the House. It’s blatantly obvious the usual suspects have been whining at these lawmakers door, from the Special Interest lobbyists. In a study by the (FAIR) Federation of American Immigration Reform, they have estimated that somewhere between 20 million and upwards of illegal immigrants have unlawful roots here, not the numbers offered by previous or today’s administrations. The investment firm analysts for Bear-Stearns claimed that the US illegal immigrant population, also agreed with this number of 20 million people." This was prior to the demise of the company in 2008. Much of these illegal entries has attributed to the 49 Percent of poverty in the United States. Since 1963 the U.S. has spent over $11 trillion on anti-poverty programs, given out money, food, Section 8 housing, medical care, and assistance to the poor and near underprivileged. Since the immigration reforms of the 1960s, the U.S. has imported unsustainable poverty through immigration measures that were permitted and encouraged entry and the residence of millions of low-skill immigrants into the nation. Low-skill migrants and immigrants are liable to be poor, having babies who, in turn, are adding to America's propagating poverty problem, driving up governmental benefits, public service, and education costs. We are now topping $113 billion dollars annually, as according to the Heritage Foundation. Under the Liberals, Democrats and GOP elitists nothing will ever be done, against the increasing numbers of foreign nationals coming here. The subsidizing costs are reaching astronomical unprecedented dollars, especially if President Obama passes Amnesty; if the voters offer him a second four year term a reform package would devastate any chance of climbing out this deepening recession. A 2.6 Trillion price tag as analyzed by the Heritage Foundation. Get in touch with Members of the Ways & Means Committee to phone or fax for free at NumbersUSA. You can also contact all these lawmakers through their Internet websites. But you insist on the Legal Workforce Act today and start putting Americans back to a job, taken by foreign nationals. Bombard Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) ((202-225-0600); House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) (202-225-2815); House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) (202) 225-2915); House Chairman of Ways & Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) (202-225-3561). NEBRASKA, Rep. Berg, Rick (GOP) (202-225-2611) ; NEBRASKA, Rep. Smith, Adrian (GOP) (202-225-6435); LOUISIANA, Rep. Boustany, Charles (GOP) (202-225-2031); (202-225-2031); KENTUCKY, Rep. Davis, Geoff (GOP) (202-225-3465); PENNSYLVANIA, Rep. Gerlach, Jim (GOP)(202-225-4315); KANSAS, Rep. Jenkins, Lynn (GOP)(202-225-6601); MINNESOTA, Rep. Paulsen, Erik (GOP)(202-225-2871); WASHINGTON, Rep. Reichert, Dave (GOP) (202-225-7761); WISCONSIN, Rep. Ryan, Paul (GOP) (202-225-3031) Tell these unwilling lawmakers that you are a voter and that they will be hearing from you in 2012. First on the lists, a Bracero type program, to allow workers to be admitted for farm employment and agriculture legally, who can then—BE TRACKED--if they abscond from the jobs allocated to them? Between 1942 and 1964, some 4.6 million Mexicans were admitted to do farm work and despite protests from US farm labor advocacy groups there was no lack of labor, only a shortage of respectable living wages and decent working conditions. By paying a fair wage, but their conditions must include health care, schooling for their kids—not placed as a financial burden on taxpayers as it mostly is today. The Bracero project should be resurrected as with the 2006 Secure Fence Act with two fences--instead of the half--completed one fence we have now and decked with nasty concertina razor wire. Give a priority to highly skilled workers, with proven credentials of exceptional experiences and offer preferences to entrepreneurs, and wealthy businessman and women who can contribute to American society. Stop the travesty of the million legal immigrants a year, who are being covertly brought here by corporate owners through Department of Labor immigration loopholes. Through financial necessity we must reduce and stop illegal immigration at the porous borders, using one way flight tickets and using every tool available to seek out those already here. IF SOVEREIGNTY MINDED, PATRIOTIC AMERICANS WANT THERE COUNTRY BACK, AND THEN JOIN THE TENS OF MILLIONS OF MEMBERS OF THE TEA PARTY BRANCHES THROUGHOUT OUR NATION. THE TEA PARTY IS AN OPEN, FORUM FOR EVERY CITIZEN AND LEGAL RESIDENT, NO MATTER A PERSON RACE OR SPIRITUAL STANDING.

To James Sheldon: Well, let me ask you a few questions, who do you think those migrants were working for? who do you think they were getting their wages from ? actually, they were complying with the US Tax Law, so do you really think it is fair to let them die like rabbits at the wilderness. And getting one step behind, usually they were hired to work for anyone billing them to construct such an illegal business in America like the one we are used hear about like guns trading, drugs traffic that it is well known you are willing to get them for such intention, so its usefull to talk about costs we are sorting just because the indulgence of certain people not willing to trade of. I, like a Mexican citizen remain at your orders , Like always, Armando.-
