Mexico Continues To Interfere With Immigration Enforcement Efforts
The Mexican government is showing no signs of stepping away from its aggressive diplomatic campaign to help its citizens living and working in the United States evade U.S. immigration law enforcement agents.
In Texas, the Mexican Consulate in El Paso announced this week that it would extend through March a program that pays for illegal aliens to obtain legal representation. According to the El Paso Times, more than $120,000 has been spent since it started earlier this year.
In Sacramento, Mexico spends $250,000 to defend illegal immigrants.
The consular actions are part of a campaign launched in March by the Mexican government to establish “advocacy” departments in each of 50 consulates across the country. The $50 million earmarked is on top of Mexico’s considerable budget for its network of consulates north of the border.
Any outrage from the BBC and Corbyn et al about ‘illegal Mexican settlers/occupiers’? No? Odd. The BBC gets very upset about ‘illegal Israeli settlers’…indeed not bothering to ‘sack’ a regular commentator on the BBC who said Israeli settlers were all nazis and should be shot. Caroline Thatcher on the other hand was dumped for saying someone looked like a golliwog. Priorities…and Jews seem to come last.
Why are illegal Mexican settlers into the US not considered illegal occupiers by the BBC? Why does the BBC prefer to call them ‘undocumented migrants’ rather than illegal settlers? What is the difference between Jews and Mexicans in the BBC’s mind? Are the Israelis not just undocumented migrants looking for a new home?
The use of the term ‘undocumented migrant’ is highly political and not neutral at all…so why does the BBC use it when ‘illegal migrant’ is the correct and official term?
Also why is the BBC unconcerned that a foreign government is encouraging the invasion of the US by its own citizens? Russia may or may not have revealed Hillary Clinton’s compromising emails but the BBC is insisting that Russia is interfering in US democracy…not so bothered about an actual invasion of the US by millions of Mexicans and other South Americans.
The BBC’s own values and beliefs shaping its news so that some things are bad, some are good…but it is the BBC that decides what we must think about these issues not us.
This example demonstrates the dilemma for the non believer in the Al beeb view of the world ? It is such a dominant source for so many out of habit that it is accepted without criticism by too many .
Apart from not paying and until politics moves more favourably all we can do is vent here right?
If they try to prosecute me for not having a tv licence, I shall just refer to myself as an ‘undocumented watcher’ or a ‘dreamer.’
The Interpol documents use the term ‘irregular’ … fun with words to hide the true meaning …
DOZENS ARRESTED FOR MASSIVE DOCUMENT FORGERY AND MIGRANT SMUGGLING {europol.europa.eu may2016}
With the support of Europol, 16 persons suspected of forgery of documents on a large scale and the smuggling of irregular migrants have been arrested in Greece, and 3 in the Czech Republic.
Beeb,
I like the letters from TVL asking me “what I am doing on x date? “ or “we’ve opened an investigation “ . I wonder where proper law enforcement stops and harassment starts. I’m still waiting for the nice friendly tv licence inspector lady /bloke / trans knocks on the door after looking through the window to see the tv on.
If Mexico cared about its people then Mexico would build a wall to stop them leaving their own country for the xenophobic and totalitarian country called the USA … oh,wait …
“Why are illegal Mexican settlers into the US not considered illegal occupiers by the BBC”
Who knows the mind of yer BBC TV executive?
Perhaps somewhere along the line their BBC US reporter might become neighbours?! Don’t think so! Which retired Mexican refugee wants to live in the South of France.
Is Mexico a “Designated Shithole Country” then?
I`m only asking because we`re told that Trump seemingly intent on throwing out all El Salvadors MS-13 gangs may well put them at risk back home if he sends them back to their DSCs. Apparently it`s right and dandy to have them terrorising American cities as they`ve done since the 80s.
But not so good if they`re returned to the hellholes that sent them over. The poor dears might be radicalised or be made to join those gangs that they formed.
Oh-and the poor, decent and indiginous native souls who thought that they`d seen the back of the scum are now at risk of getting killed or terrorised-like Trumps Americans have been since the Bush, Clinton and Obama reigns of uselessness. Sorry-but that`s the nature of the country that is a DSC, but trashes Trump for telling the truth.
Boo Trump. Fancy putting your own people ahead of the Democrats imported crims.
Let`s hope it never catches on eh May?
Where ever will the BBC get their drugs from if the Mexicans and Salvadoreans get stopped from sending their drugs and human filth to the USA?
Hard times ahead-can only hope so, Trump be praised.
I wonder if the BBC would be happy if ITV or Fox News paid for my legal representation if I was trespassing on BBC premises .
