- It has been proposed that Mexicans in the U.S. vote in Mexican elections in designated electoral districts in the United States. Under this proposal, California, for example, might have seats in the Mexican Congress, specifically representing Mexicans residing in that state. The governing PAN party of President Fox has opposed this idea, not out of respect for U.S. sovereignty, but out of fear that most Mexicans in the U.S. would vote against the PAN. Meanwhile, another of Mexico’s three major parties, the leftist PRD, urges the designation of the entire United States as the sixth Mexican electoral district. \n\nMexico’s revanchist campaign against the U.S. as though the Mexicans were carrying it out completely against our will. But as we are bitterly aware, this is not at all the case. Something has happened in America over the last 40 years that has not only opened us to the Mexican invasion, but has even invited it. From the refusal of many American cities to cooperate with the INS, to President Bush’s celebration of Mexican illegal aliens as the carriers of family values, to the Democratic Party’s insistence that all Mexican illegals in the U.S. be given instant amnesty and U.S. citizenship, it seems that America itself wants the Mexicans to invade and gain power in our country. Since we (or rather, some of us) have invited the Mexican invasion, does this mean we (or rather the rest of us) have no right oppose it?\n\nBecause the U.S. has been silent and passive, Castañeda, in the manner of all bullies and conquistadors, tells us to heed Mexico. The time is long since passed for us to reverse this drama, and make Mexico heed the United States. But for us to do this, we must recognize that the Mexicans are not coming here merely as individuals seeking economic opportunities, but as a nation, expressing their national identity and collective will.  Even more important, we must revive our own largely forgotten and forbidden sense that we ourselves are a nation, not just a bunch of consumers and bearers of individual rights, and have the right to defend our nation as a nation\n\n\nShort Answer??- Because Hes An IDIOT

it's not right because innocent people that are trying to get by are being sent away.  We should have mexico become one of our states.

He's not. Why is this so hard for people to understand. He is trying to stop criminal behavior. If you ask me he isn't doing enough. This isn't about Mexicans wanting to be in America, this is about illegal immigrants crossing our borders daily breaking our laws and exposing one of our weakest links in national security. The bleeding has gone on long enough, we need to stop this issue before we let the wrong people in our country (which it is too late, remember 911?). If a citizen of another country wants to work in America so that he/she can have a better more productive life, just be legal about it, that's it, end of issue.

eh needs to really work with the u.s. in making his country more empathetic with his own people he needs to focus on creating jobs and security especially for the native Mexican. now that being said the u.s. needs to move more towards a open border in the sense allows true Mexican citizens to come to this country freely. however there should be a monetary penalty for using the u.s. just for a job and not putting money back in our economy.

because they're still thinking of a lie to tell the American people.  I think Fox is borrowing money from Bush to redecorate his office in mexico.  Also to fund the kiosks and refreshment bars for the mexicans who are crossing the border.  He does not want his people to get thirsty and dehydrated.

Well...let's look at their protest in May that hurt them more than it helped their "cause."  There were Mexican flags, signs in Spanish and there were more demands for rights that they don't have.  They made untrue claims that they were Native American (what a joke) insinuating North American Indian.  They were giving America and Americans the one finger salute, they refuse to learn OUR language.  \n\nThey continue to make up what they believe to be facts, as if they can change history like the Southwest was stolen from them.  They disrespect us in OUR country while getting all of the handouts that they don't pay into.  I think that it's simple.  They want America but don't want to be Americans.  We don't want them here anyway.

Its not a Mexican issue with me--its a legal issue and a environment  and a budget issue. \n\nAnd many get angry on both sides and say things they most likely don't mean.

There is really no way to explain why except to say that the government of mexico is totally concerned with what others are doing at the cost of it's own people. It is the type of government that would rather keep more than half of it's people below poverty and at the same time have legislative meeting to petition the American government to allow criminals to walk free in American society. The government of mexico and the people who put them there are NOT accepted as a world class country for just that type of reason.

We should be protesting every where he speaks.Do not let the head of Mexico's Drug Cartel's. Is this the kind of person we want to even listen to.\nAll he wants is to open up the borders free flow through our borders letting anyone in not just Mexico's poor but anyone that want to hurt this Country or that wants to sell his drugs for him if his Country is getting so they can not afford his drugs he is looking to branch out so what better place then the Country right next door.\n\nStop this guy he is a fox very cunning can not be trusted\nHe promote hatred to  America telling them that Texas and California is there land and Mexicans should invade America\n\nLet's think of America First and Protest every where he speaks

Actually it is not a big deal to ask them for compliance, unfortunately like a virus they have positioned themselves into positions that have the equivalence of economic strength according to Washington.  They feel that 20 million is a strong number to come out and try and change the rules, however go find ONE individual or even 100 illegals and they are cowards afraid they will be deported.  They should not get a pass on this law, if that is the case then our own government is throwing away the constitution, spitting on REAL AMERICANS, and on all the immigrants that have come into this country legally!!

Well, I think your facts are reversed.  As you know, many conservative Republicans are not in favor of making helping an illegal alien from another country, for example Mexico, a crime.  As you probably also know, in spring and summer of this year, there were nation-wide protests relating to this hot-button issue.  However, at his press conference the other morning, President Bush proclaimed that he could pass his agenda as far as immigration goes.  Therefore, Dem's are more likely to help President Bush pass a law making assisting illegal aliens a felony.  Therefore, I believe that you have your facts reversed. Wouldn't you want to help your own people?  Unless many of the Mexican-Americans were uninformed of the Dem's stand on this issue, then I would have to say that they would not vote Dem's into office because of their stand on this issue.

Because we wouldn't have the guts to ask and they definitely wouldn't pay. The Mexican government encourages it poor to come here by whatever means necessary to relieve it's responsibilities to it own people.

estephania...\nThe Mexican Gov't shoots to kill on their southern border.  So I don't know why the would be up in arms about us doing the same.\n\nAnyway to answer this question, I'm with you.  Those in power who are voting to support Mexico and sell out our country should all be hanged for treason.

Mexico is one of the my hypocritical countries i've ever seen.  They want to be able to march right into America, no questions asked.  Yet the countries to the south of them cannot march into Mexico.   Mexico has very strict immigration policies, and anyone caught sneaking into Mexico is in deep deep doo doo.   \n\nAmerica is dumb as he&#92;&#92; for not stopping the vast illegal flow of mexican peasants into the USA.   Our leaders have failed us miserably, and all should be censored, including past and present Presidents and Congress for being derilect in their duties.   \n\nVicente Fox is not friend of America.  He is a friend of Bush,  but all the rest of us fart in his general direction.   Americans support legal immigration, and despise the illegals.   We can pick our own lettuce, thank you.  Get the He&#92;&#92; out!
