Not related to the Southwest Border, but hilarious nonetheless, Beloved Leader is a hilarious satirical blog serious entry into the blogosphere by North Korea’s Kim Jong Il. Yes, Kim blogs, and he does it very well. Mandatory viewing, and the RSS access will only cost you a bottle of good Western hooch for the Beloved Leader’s current needs.
Mexico is going to crack down on migrants crossing the border, create a guest worker program and improve conditions for migrants on the move. Sounds like a Minuteman’s dream, right? Except it’s happening on Mexico’s southern border.
For some time, Mexico has engaged in a remarkable political hypocrisy — it complains about the US stance on illegal immigration, yet it is a felony to be in Mexico without papers, punishable by two years in prison. Now that’s a hard stance. Mexicans are upset about Central Americans taking their jobs (!), and those migrants are treated quite poorly while in Mexico.
When you think about it, it’s no wonder Central Americans are trying to get to the US — illegals get better treatment here than they do from brutish Mexican policies and Mexican attitudes.
Calderon is smarter than Fox, and he knows that he can’t make any headway with the US over the border fence or new immigration policies while his own house is not in order.
