Vicente Fox: "America's letting racists, Xenophobics decide future of nation"

by Chris Jones on October 9, 2007 · 1 comment

From the AP:

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said Monday that the United States is letting racism dictate its policies, especially when it comes to immigration.

“The xenophobics, the racists, those who feel they are a superior race … they are deciding the future of this nation,” he said, without naming names, in an interview with The Associated Press.

In his first interview to promote his new book, “Revolution of Hope,” Fox applauded President Bush’s desire to pass an immigration accord that would allow more Mexicans to work legally in the U.S.

But he criticized Bush for failing to pass the promised reform.

“There was always a reason for why it couldn’t be done. ‘It is not possible because of the elections.’ He couldn’t touch the topic because this election is very important, or because security was more important,” Fox said.

      There’s something about this whole illegal immigration debate that is absolutely insane. Why is it okay for someone who is NOT supposed to be

      here allowed to stay and to assume citizenship rights just because they ARE here??? That logic is soooo weak. And, oddly enough, it seems that

      most American citizens aren’t sufficiently outraged about it. It’s like someone, unbeknownst to you, living in your basement. Sure, they may take

      out your trash, but, does that justify them homesteading in your basement without your permission?

      If I decided to visit Japan and to melt into that community after my tourist visa expired and the Japanese government caught me, slammed my butt

      on a plane and sent me back to America, why should I argue? Of course, if I were crazy enough to do that, I would also attempt to get pregnant in

      Japan so that my off-spring would then be Japanese nationals and I could get a better foot in the door with the Japanese government.. Later, as

      my loitering continued in Japan, my sons and daughters could over-turn the Japanese government and set up a situation whereby scofflaws like

      myself (who breed like rabbits) would benefit. This is exactly what these Hispanics are doing in America. I do not feel sorry for these people…not

      in the least. If they want citizenship, they can apply legally and come in the right way like everyone else. This is not about what suits THEM. Why

      do they think they are so special that they can just stroll (or run) over here and start working at Taco Bell or digging ditches and everything should

      be cool? Meanwhile, prospective immigrants from around the world have taken the TOEFFL repeatedly and have participated in Green Card

      raffles repeatedly over YEARS for a chance to come here. Many of them with Master’s degrees in math and science.

      And what about American corporations that bring illegals into this country (like poor, bamboozled children) for menial work—by the truck loads??

      I, for one, think that infantilizing the Hispanic people is demeaning and racist and I claim that if they are smart enough to get here by stealth, then

      they are smart enough to know that they are doing something WRONG. Some Hispanics may not be completely responsible for getting here

      (because of some capitalist scoundrel who wants to exploit them), but, they are, never-the-less, responsible for themselves leaving.

      “Walmart was caught…I got no more job. How do I go back to Mexico? Or I stay here?”
      ” You stay here amiga…you got the rights. You have babies…si?”
      “Okay! How long I stay?”
      “Til they catch you! El Presidente Bush es bueno amigo”
      ” Okay! ”

      I actually read an article about one illegal Hispanic construction worker who had positioned himself into a nice slice of the “American Pie”…

      enjoying a nice income, a nice truck, a nice house in the burbs, and a nice business… He was furious because the US Immigration and

      Naturalization Service got around to catching him and was in the process of deporting him. He issued this haughty line : “This country is so

      ungrateful.” What the hell… The sheer nerve of this type of person is truly incredible. If I plant a nice garden in someone else’s backyard, is that

      MY garden?? Of course not. Illegals have no claims or rights to America, period. End of story.

      Some say that these illegals pay taxes and contribute greatly to the American GNP. I find this claim dubious, at best. If I am “on the run”, trying to

      fly under the INS radar ( not having been issued a proper social security card by the US government), I don’t think I would be waiving a red flag to

      the IRS stating,”It is I, Maria! The illegal that crept into your country two years ago who now wants to pay taxes!” Most likely, these illegals are

      accepting their income from under the table. And, instead of paying money into the American welfare system with their taxes, they are, in fact, the

      major strains upon it by unfairly accessing health services, schools, and other tax payer supported resources. Meanwhile, their misfit population

      booms (with mostly out-of-wedlock births). And don’t get me started with the gangs, the drugs, and the other nasties associated with illegals.

      And if I hear another illegal whine about how racist conscientious American citizens are being because someone complains that these illegals

      have fifteen adults shacked up in a two bedroom house, I will vomit.

      Whether they find themselves in North Dakota or Southern California, they need to get the hell out of this country and come back in the right way if

      they wish to earn the regard of law abiding citizens. This is not about racism or Hispanic bashing… This is about the existing laws of the US

      government which were created by the consensus OF law-abiding American citizens. This country must stand by it’s Constitution or it will fall for

      absolutely anything!
