How Mexico Treats Immigrants

This article by Frank Gaffney is an eye opener. The illegals marching in the streets of our cities recently are protesting the wrong government:


*Pursuant to Article 33, “Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.” This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.

*Equal Employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: “Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable.”

*Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered “indispensable” include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.

But this shouldn't be surpirsing, since corrupt governemnts (and liberals) are always blaming the US for something they themselves already do, like Hugo Chavez claiming Americans conduct torture.
