Recently, Mexican President Calderon, with assistance and support from Obama and the Democratic Party, delivered an anti-American diatribe to a joint session of Congress. This was greeted by a standing ovation by anti-American Democrats in Congress. Calderon called for gun bans and trashed Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, parroting the deliberate lies about this law that Democrats have spread, especially the ones who haven’t bothered to read the law. Arizona passed that law due to the influx of criminals and violence from Mexico, and Obama refuses to protect our borders.

I am absolutely livid that a foreigner is given a forum to trash America in our Congress. I am especially livid that the Democratic Party enabled this garbage.

Examine Mexico’s laws pertaining to illegal immigrants. They are jailed and deported. There are checkpoints in Mexico to check your papers. They receive absolutely no benefits from the Mexican government. Contrast that with how we treat illegal Mexicans.

Mexico is a country rich with natural resources that could rival the U.S. Why, then, are they such a Third World hellhole? It is because their government is based on intractable bribery and corruption. The majority of their government officials and police are bribe-taking crooks. They are ruled by drug cartels. Rather than improving their country, they want to destroy ours.

What should happen after Calderon’s diatribe is we should insist our elected officials cut off aid to Mexico and vote against those who won’t. We should demand our borders be closed and insist on no amnesty for illegal aliens. We should absolutely not vote for any Democrat for any reason, as this party is clearly anti- American and I would even suggest has no difference from the Communist Party. We should also remember gubernatorial candidate Bill White would be a friend to illegal immigration and anti-gun laws.
