Mexican Illegals Breaking Mexican Law Too!

Is Mexico our partner in securing our border? Republican presidential candidate John McCain thinks so. Campaigning in Iowa, McCain assured his audience that Mexico’s President Calderon is going to help us secure the border.

It’s funny McCain would say that, for several reasons.

For one thing, the candidate hasn’t been too concerned in the past about illegal immigration.

And, if our own president doesn’t want to secure our border, why would the president of Mexico want to secure it?

Ironically, Mexico could help us secure our border—and dry up illegal immigration—simply by enforcing Mexican law.

You won’t hear this from Mexican officials. They will tell you that Mexicans are free to leave or enter the country and that, constitutionally, they can’t stop them.

Ah, how beautiful. Every Mexican is free as a bird, can go where he desires, uninhibited by those pesky artificial borders.

Right?

Not according to Mexican law.
