Mexico Threatens Suits Over Guard Patrols
Posted on May 16, 2006
Just when you thought the illegal invasion couldn’t get any more insulting…Mexico has the audacity to threaten lawsuits if we protect our country by using the National Guard to detain their invaders.
Mexico said Tuesday that it would file lawsuits in U.S. courts if National Guard troops on the border become directly involved in detaining migrants.
Mexican border officials also said they worried that sending troops to heavily trafficked regions would push illegal migrants into more perilous areas of the U.S.-Mexican border to avoid detection.
President Bush announced Monday that he would send 6,000 National Guard troops to the 2,000-mile border, but they would provide intelligence and surveillance support to Border Patrol agents, not catch and detain illegal immigrants.
“If there is a real wave of rights abuses, if we see the National Guard starting to directly participate in detaining people … we would immediately start filing lawsuits through our consulates,” Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez told a Mexico City radio station. He did not offer further details.
Mexican officials worry the crackdown will lead to more deaths. Since Washington toughened security in Texas and California in 1994, migrants have flooded Arizona’s hard-to-patrol desert and deaths have spiked. Migrant groups estimate 500 people died trying to cross the border in 2005. The Border Patrol reported 473 deaths in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.
Hmmm…well we all know of an organization that would be more than happy to represent them.

OK…here’s an idea senor fox….STOP THEM FROM COMING ACROSS THE BORDER FROM YOUR SIDE!!!!!!
Dang it hombre….act like el presidente and protect your people.
Gosh, you’d think if the Mexican government was so concerned with its people dying in the desert they would try to stop them.
Anyone with an IQ above a rock understands the Mexican government is more concerned with fewer dollars being sent back home to those they can’t provide jobs for.
Guess what, Mexico?
One of the defined duties of the U.S. military is border enforcement.
And it is considered to be one of the legal duties by most countries worldwide.
Tough luck…
And this after Bush is reported to have gave in to Fox and proposed sending only 6000 instead of the 10000 guards he was initially planning on. I guess Mexico does not appreciate our government bowing to their demands. What is the world coming to?
