Mexico has reacted furiously to a bill signed into law by the US this week
that would fund a border wall and prevent illegal Mexican migrants from
obtaining US driving licences.

President Vicente Fox said he would lodge a diplomatic complaint, and was
considering complaints to multilateral bodies if Mexico could not unable to
resolve the problem bilaterally.

In the US, leaders of the Mexican community threatened to strike to send a
message to US employers that they could not survive without cheap Mexican
labour.

Santiago Creel, Mexico's interior secretary, said the “Real ID” law was
“negative, inconvenient, and obstructionist”.

“Building walls doesn't help anyone build a good neighbourhood,” he said.
“Taking away the possibility of obtaining driving licences for people who
are working in legal jobs, who pay their taxes there, who send remittances
home here, seems to us to be an extreme measure, particularly given the new
understanding that we thought we had after the re-election of President
Bush.”

......

I think this pretty much exposes the whole agenda of the government of
Mexico---The US is not to protect its borders, the USA is not to enforce
its laws.

Now, I would like to see something done about employers who knowingly hire
illegal workers. Did you know that it is a federal felony to do so?

Did you know that some states, like Colorado, specifically forbid local law
enforcement from assisting the feds. in immigration matters? They also
forbid, under "sanctuary" laws, employers from not hiring people they
suspect of being illegal.
