I have long advocating scrapping the immigration laws for our Southern border and instead using the Mexican immigration laws for their Southern border.

It’s ok when they do it.

When a non-white person does something horrific it is simply a cultural thing that we aren’t allowed to criticize (ok their ruling class is mostly white, but close enough).

When a white person does something similiar but one thousandth as extreme it is a vile act.

For instance:

1) arabs bludgeon women to death for speaking out of place. response: what an ancient culture that we can’t possibly understand. It would be racist to say anything derogatory about this practice that to our ignorant eyes appears barbaric.

2) Catholics in the US don’t allow women to be in the clergy. response: burn the churches to the ground! Christianity is a vile hate group that needs to be destroyed for their ongoing genocide against women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So don’t expect this news to make much of an impact.

D-Vega: you’re right, so far this immigration debate has been calm and rational. No one has claimed racism as a deciding factor, or labeled proponents of the bill as white supremacists. And they’ve certainly never demanded “their” land be returned from the “white invaders”.

Bwahahahhahaha!

Mexico City leads the world in kidnappings. Know what city is #2? Phoenix.

The drug cartels have set up shop because they could freely waltz over the border and operate without fear of Federal intervention. People are being tortured, having limbs amputated, and winding up dead.

But you know, vega would rather see people continue to be chopped up and raped rather than letting the police ask a question.

So we should be more like a Third World country.

Why not? You been crying that obamao was right for passing a bill to destroy our health care and make it on par with third world nations.

I don’t care about Mexico’s laws, Stan. I care about our country’s laws.

Mexico’s immigration laws are the LEAST of their problems.

We have a CONSTITUTION, and protections for our citizens.

In Mexico, the Federales can ask you about whatever, and detain you for whatever. Here it is a little more complicated.

So VanDouchbag’s contrast is irrelevant. And it illustrates how lame the right-wing’s argument for this lame law really is.

Interesting.

I presume the existing comments will come back at some point?

Having trouble logging in.

I agree there's much we do not want to emulate of Mexico's government and current problems but I do think that their immigration system makes a lot more sense than ours. Surely learning from another culture and nation is not such an offensive idea to a leftist such as yourself, is it?
