Mexican Immigration Policy for GUATEMALAN IMMIGRANTS

as reported by
Amnesty International


while Mexico cries foul on us immigration policies, lets look at how
THEY handle illegal immigration from Guatemala to their south.....

The federalizes apprehend the immigrants at the boarded if possible, or shortly after the Guatemalans are trucked to the boarder in cattle trucks where the federalizes strip them naked, then beat them senseless and drag them back across the boarder.

When the federalies where questioned about this practice they responded , these peons need to be taught a lesson, how dare they violate our boarders. they have no rights here. and we can do what ever we want.

this practice has gone on for years despite the objections of
Amnesty International and other human rights organizations there have been countless deaths and injuries associated with this inhumane treatment.

Let's send the ACLU down there to observe. I'm sure the Mexican authorities will be ever so mindful of their rights.

first of all, it's border. secondly, the fact that mexico has fucked-up immigration practices does not justify our (the U.S.) immigration policy. instead of using this to get mexico off our back in terms of immigration policy, we should be just as critical of mexico's abuse of immigrants, and pressure them to undergo immigration reform as well.
