What Right do They Have?

What right do the Mexican's have to complain about how illegals are treated here in the US? Read this article about treatment of illegals in Mexico.

TULTITLAN, Mexico (AP) -- Considered felons by the government, these migrants fear detention, rape and robbery. Police and soldiers hunt them down at railroads, bus stations and fleabag hotels. Sometimes they are deported; more often officers simply take their money.

While migrants in the United States have held huge demonstrations in recent weeks, the hundreds of thousands of undocumented Central Americans in Mexico suffer mostly in silence.

And though Mexico demands humane treatment for its citizens who migrate to the U.S., regardless of their legal status, Mexico provides few protections for migrants on its own soil. The issue simply isn't on the country's political agenda, perhaps because migrants make up only 0.5 percent of the population, or about 500,000 people - compared with 12 percent in the United States.

The level of brutality Central American migrants face in Mexico was apparent Monday, when police conducting a raid for undocumented migrants near a rail yard outside Mexico City shot to death a local man, apparently because his dark skin and work clothes made officers think he was a migrant.

Virginia Sanchez, who lives near the railroad tracks that carry Central Americans north to the U.S. border, said such shootings in Tultitlan are common.

Arrogant that Mexico would treat immigrants from south of their border like that and then expect us to treat immigrants from south of our border like they belong here. Heck of it is most of those illegals in Mexico are probably just passing through on their way here. Maybe they don’t like the competition.

The illegals have it good here....they shouldn't push like they are...they will turn sentiment against them. Lord have mercy on them if they wake the American Idol crowd and turn that crowd against them.

I feel the Hispanics are trying to send a big "F^*K YOU" message to Washington. Lord have mercy on them if they wake the American Idol crowd and turn that crowd against them. They should start to worry, American Idol only has about 6 or 7 weeks to go in the season doesn't it?

Real American's, born or naturalized, of every race, creed and color needs to wake up and see what is starting to happen...... If we don't soon it will be
