Vincente Fox Our Racist Neighbor
One more reason to close the southern US border. That their President wants his people to come here, because he won't do anything for them there, is not news. But now we have irrefutable evidence that the man is also a sleazy dollop of pond scum.
"There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States," said Mexican President Fox
Speaking of jobs people don't want to do, apparently the Mexican President does not want to do the job of turning his own country into a place of opportunity attractive to its own population. I have long held that we should move to an immigration and visitor policy in which we only allow inbound movement from, and we only provide benefits to immigrants from, countries who comply with reciprocal treatment of our citizens who go there. So, if Mexico wants to continue sending us their citizens without regard to our immigration laws; then Mexico needs to give US citizens the same pass when we go there. Thus, we could travel to Mexico without papers or permission, and take any job we want, (with the clear intent of undermining the Mexican economy prior to a complete take over), and Mexico could provide us with welfare. I suspect that it would only take a couple of decades (exaggeration) of this entrepreneurial movement before we essentially owned the whole country, and when millions of Mexicans living in the US would storm home to take advantage of the opportunities.
I even have an individual in mind as Governor for the annexed Mexican Territory. It won't make Mr. Fox happy to know that Ulysses "Junior" Bridgeman, a black American, could do the job that Fox will not.

He's been on a roll, and I'm jealous about it, too. Hopefully, I'll have the time and inclination to do something about that this week, since I'll be off from work.

His comments were not offensive at all. He's simply pointing out that Mexicans are taking the jobs that blacks at the low end of the socioeconomic ladder would traditionally have taken. The question is whether mexican have driven down the wages of these low end jobs and if that is what the anger is all about.

Whoever, why are you excusing his obvious slight of blacks? Not even the men who wear white sheets would deny that his words insult blacks.
The racist character of his remark is what the anger is all about.
And, of course, there is anger that he is promoting the illegal entry of his people into the US. Those workers who we allow to enter legally are entitled to compete for wages just like the rest of us, so that issue isn't about driving wages down, it is about whether we have invited them or whether they have stolen their way in.

i think that what the "presidente mexicano" said was somewhat racist if not offensive. and he recognizes it too, for he apologized to all african americans... no i take it back, to all who were offended by his words. and being latino myself, i too know what it feels to pet put down by a racist remark.
