What do you think about two countries working together to undermine United States immigration laws?

[webb]

President Alvaro Colon of Guatemala plans to ask Mexico to provide temporary legal status for people who cross through Mexico from Central America, on their way to entering the US as illegal immigrants.

President Colon reasons that a “transitional document” would provide some measure of protection for illegal immigrants, shielding them from organized crime in Mexico. He said that an agreement providing quasi-legal status would “strengthen our relationship with social networks that welcome immigrants.” There are dozens of homes for migrants in Mexico, many of them operated by Catholic clergy.

This is disgusting. I think this is an act of war and I don't care who thinks different. And emp. you need to read some yourself. I am American Indian and what I read is horse manure!!
Read, "The Immorality of Illegal Immigration" By Father Bascio. Also read some history books that tell the real history!!:

Geronimo’s war with Mexico most likely started in 1835 when the Mexican state of Sonora, in an all-out effort to rid the Sierra Madres of the Nedhai band, passed a law offering one hundred pesos (roughly equal to one American dollar) for every scalp of an Apache warrior. Two years later, the state of Chihuahua set a scale of one hundred pesos for a warrior’s scalp, fifty for a woman’s, and twenty-five for a child’s. Many white mercenaries killed Apaches in the United States and took the scalps into Mexico for the bounty. It became increasingly dangerous for any Apache to live anywhere in Apacheria. With his first wife Alope, his mother Juana, and three children to support, Geronimo moved into the Big and Little Burro Mountains area of Arizona, where he met the magnificent Mimbreno leader, Mangas Coloradas, father-in-law of the famous Cochise. Geronimo formed a deep and lasting friendship with the Mimbreno chief.

By the summer of 1850, Geronimo and his Bedonkohe adherents had come under the full leadership and protection of Mangas Coloradas. On a trading trip to Casa Grandes, with the great chief leading, they stopped at a town they called Kas-ki-yeh. It has been accepted that this site is the town of Janos in the Mexican state of Chihauhau. It was a peaceful expedition, and all the women and children were along. While the men were out hunting meat, a group of Mexican troops swooped down upon the camp, butchering nearly everyone in sight. The massacre of his family loosed Geronimo upon the land. It was an enraged, burning hatred he carried against the Mexicans until his dying day.
He is known to have had at least one sibling, a sister. They grew up in a time of trouble in the
1820s and 1830s, and learned firsthand what it meant to be an enemy of others. They watched
their male relatives go off to battle against other tribes, the Spanish and Mexicans.


There were tales of Apache wives being captured by Mexicans, sold as slaves, their children taken from them, who later managed to escape and return to their tribes. Such was the story of Nah-thle-tla, an Apache women kidnapped when Mexicans attacked their camp. Her children were taken from her forever and after she served several years in slavery she escaped and journeyed at least 250 miles to return to her tribe.

And learn the difference in the American Indian and the aztecs. None of my people were cannibals! And I am not brown. What a bogus statement.

The Aztecs are best known for their gruesome sacrifices and cannibalistic ways. These sacrifices were regular occurrences to nourish various gods such as Huitzilopoctli (The God of War) and Tlaloc (The God of Rain and Drought). Many of these regular sacrifices led to cannibalism of the captor's calpulli members. Sacrifice and cannibalism seem to go hand in hand when it comes to Aztec society.

Goddess, I guess you get called "Goddess of Hate" when you expose the truth to those who prefer to be deceived.

But, right you are! Though, really, the official support and encouragement, of illegal aliens invading the US, by the Mexican government has been policy for some time.

Did you know Mexico has a Cabinet level office in government whose sole responsibility is to facilitate the illegal entry by Mexicans into the US? Now that is TRULY disgusting!!

I'm not suprised Guatemala is asking, especially since its citizens have frequently been mistreated by Mexican authoritites. I'd be suprised if Mexico actually agreed to it though.

Not one bit surprised, disgusted that other countries who want their laws enforced expect us to not enforce ours, but not surprised.

[janyd]

Ok goddess of hate....There has been hundreds of killings and kidnappings of immigrants in Mexico. This temporary legal status will aid the migrants so that they could ride freely and use Mexican transportation throughout Mexico and maybe even request police protection. Tell me do you like people getting murder and kidnap? Apparently I think you do and even maybe you view Mexicans as sub-humans. Let me tell you this everyone in the world has the right to immigrate to where they choose to. Its a changing world and the global economies are becoming more interwoven. The poor of the world although the nations are progressing in the economic transition are being left out. The natural instinct for survival for any organism is to migrate even when there physical or political obstacles. Every person has the right to survive and support their offspring. You see this is a natural phenomena or survival of the fittest as you have learn from evolutionary anthropologist. Every organism has this desire to survive and is in their genes. Political laws that are made by men are laws that regulate the natural world, but CANNOT fully control it. We are a growing planet in which sustainability is declining. The rapid human population boom and decline sustainability of this century contributes to all this we called illegal immigration. Humans are just responding to the need. They tent to move to wealthier nations because it is this nations who also that don't allow for developing countries to fully flourish because rich nations control all the wealth and trade among the less developed nations. The problem will increase in the future and political laws cannot control the natural population increases and declining sustainability of world. We are humans and we have to learn to live together and love our neighbor because soon we all going to be knocking our own coffin's door because earth wont be able to support us. WE NEED TO STOP BEING SELFISH WITH WEALTH.

IF YOU ARE NATIVE AMERICAN LIKE YOU CLAIM WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH ALLOWING MORE BROWN PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO OF INDIAN ANCESTRY IN. KNOW YOUR INDIAN HISTORY WE ARE ALL THE SAME PEOPLE DIVIDED AND CULTURAL RAPED, AMONG THE EUROPEAN POWERS BECAUSE OF THEIR GREED. WITHOUT TODAY'S BORDERS, INDIANS IN ENGLISH SPEAKING LANDS WOULDN'T BE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE INDIANS IN SPANISH SPEAKING LANDS.


I'M NOT AGAINST ENFORCING THE LAWS OF THIS NATION AS LONG AS THEY REMAIN HUMANE AND RESPECT HUMAN DIGNITY. YES WE SHOULD PROTECT OUR BORDERS, BUT I'M ALSO REALISTIC AND UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORLD WORKS, WE ARE NOT GODS TO CONTROL NATURAL CAUSES BECAUSE HUMAN IMMIGRATION IS AS NATURAL AS THE LAW OF GRAVITY.
