Richest Irony of the Year: A guy who calls himself "Felipe Calderon" and claims to be "President" of a country called "Mexico" criticized US immigration policies, saying the new Arizona law "opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination."
Now The Irony Part
Next comes Amnesty International, with a damning report on the cruel human rights depredations inflicted upon immigrants passing through Mexico.
Yahoo News plays it straight up:
The group's report comes at a sensitive time for Mexico, which is protesting the passage of a law in Arizona that criminalizes undocumented migrants.That's an understatement. Here are some excerpts from the Amnesty report:
The Mexican authorities must act to halt the continuing abuse of migrants who are preyed on by criminal gangs while public officials turn a blind eye or even play an active part in kidnappings, rapes and murders
Migrants in Mexico are facing a major human rights crisis leaving them with virtually no access to justice, fearing reprisals and deportation if they complain of abuses
Kidnappings of migrants, mainly for ransom, reached new heights in 2009 ... almost half of interviewed victims saying that public officials were involved in their kidnapping.
An estimated six out of 10 migrant women and girls experience sexual violence, allegedly prompting some people smugglers to demand that women receive contraceptive injections ahead of the journey, to avoid them falling pregnant as a result of rape.I love it when reality pierces the screaming leftys' fantasy bubble. Mexico is a horrible, dysfunctional failed state, and we are robbing their best and brightest--the ones who have the brains and the courage to leave it all behind for a better life in the US.
Lefties in the US: STFU! You want to fight human rights abuses? Go to Mexico, a 24/7 horror show of human rights abuses!
What does this say of Mexico? Is it still racist if you're robbing, raping and killing your brown brothers and sisters? Is it better that these victims suffer and die at the hands of their fellow Latinos?
What does this say of the goodness of the United States?
A little perspective is always a good thing.
