Mr. President, I'm Headed To Mexico

LadyFish · May 3, 2006

Dear President Bush: I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: 1. Free medical care for my entire family. 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. 3. All government forms need to be printed in English. 4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers. 5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history. 6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down. 7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. 8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. 9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. 10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English. 11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. 12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws. 13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. Thank you so much for your kind help. Sincerely, DISCLAIMER UPDATED: This letter is not to start another thread about illegals I just thought it was an eye opener.

Why do you hate immigrants Ladyfish? They're just looking to improve their lives.

I dont think anyone has a problem w/ immigrants, (sept maybe native Americans) since this country was built by them. I think most, educated with the ability to think, have a problem w/ illegal aliens. Yeah,...thats what I think.

Good points L.F. I don't think very many people are against immigrants that want to be American citizens and live by the same rules and laws we do. Come here legally, learn english, and obey our laws.

Again the solution is in the books, employment of illegals is punishable by a fine up to $10,000 for each violation, you must obtain a photo ID and Social Security or it is a violation.

Most major American manufactures are already in Mexico. We've forgiven every loan that we've ever made to them. NAFTA/GATT, huge tourist trade, we buy all the illegal drugs their government can send our way. Shoot, we're doing all we can short of bombing them!

A few things you need to know befour going LF SOME MEXICAN IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS Mexico's main immigration law welcomes only foreigners deemed useful to Mexican society: _ Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress." (Article 32) _ Immigration officials must "ensure (that) immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance" and that of their dependents. (Article 34) _ Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence has upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics," if they are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," if they are not good citizens in their own country, if they have broken Mexican laws, or if "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy." (Article 37) _ The secretary of governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest." (Article 38) Mexican authorities keep track of every person in the country: _ Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request: i.e., help in the arrest of illegal immigrants. (Article 73) _ A National Population Registry tracks every "individual who comprises (sic) the population of the country," verifying each individual's identity. (Articles 85 and 86) _ A national Catalogue of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), assigning each a tracking number. (Article 91) Foreigners with fake papers or who enter the country under false pretenses may be imprisoned: _ Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116) _ Foreigners who sign government documents "with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses" are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116) Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons: _ Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117) _ Deported foreigners who try to re-enter Mexico without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118) _ Foreigners who violate terms of their visa may be sentenced for up to six years in prison. (Articles 119, 120, and 121) Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa (as by working without a permit) can also be imprisoned. Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says: _ "A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of 300 to 5,000 pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally." (Article 123) _ Foreigners with immigration problems may be deported, rather than imprisoned. (Article 125) _ Foreigners who "(make attempts) against national sovereignty or security" will be deported. (Article 126) Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are considered criminals: _ A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127) _ Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
