A very sincere hat tip to the blogger Unabashedly Unhyphenated for drawing attention to what he correctly evaluates as a jackhammer-impact of a post Comprehensive immigration reform must include Mexico at the blog My View by Sergio Canto.

Canto suggests, with documentation, that Congressional Democrats are not eager to support the Bush Amnesty/Immigration- Acceleration measure because it is too dangerous and because so many of them won their elections positioning against illegal immigration. He cites Democrats clash on Immigration policy By Nicole Gaouette Los Angeles Times November 24 2006:

Statements by incoming members such as Claire McCaskill, the Democratic senator-elect from Missouri, could provide an early warning of the difficulties ahead.
In a September television spot, McCaskill sat at a kitchen table and looked directly into the camera. “Let me tell you what I believe in,” she said. “No amnesty for illegal immigrants.”

Canto, who apparently does business in Mexico, goes on to add his own, rather special, contribution:

As we have said before, the answer lives in Mexico. The US can change its laws but it cannot fix Mexico.

At the end of the day, change will happen in Mexico when Pres. Calderon (and the Mexican Congress) can not count on $20 billion in “remesas”. (VDARE.com: Remittances – from Mexicans abroad.)

Change will come when thousands of young men march in Mexico City rather than work in the US.

My solution is harsh but it is the best medicine for Mexico.

Close the border and force Mexicans to solve their problems…

…Mexico needs radical change. It won’t happen overnight but it starts when Mexican politicians realize that their solution is job creation rather more “remesas”.

Strange, how the closer people’s exposure is to Mexico the less they like it.

Unabashedly Unhyphenated has equally forceful comments:

…Lastly, and this is where I differ from many who have a hard time with the (fallacious) idea that we would have to “deport them all,” I do blame every illegal alien for coming here, I blame them for staying here, I blame them for working here, and I blame them for sending money “home.” If they did not know what they were doing was wrong, I might (a big might) feel a bit differently. But the illegals know what they are doing is wrong or they would not fear being caught…

I have yet to hear any rational explanation why those whose first act, and continuous act, is the intentional disregard for our rule of law should be allowed any pathway to citizenship. In fact, the best way to teach their anchor babies about American ideals is to deport them along with their lawbreaking parents; the citizen anchors can come back if they choose after reaching adulthood. …If both American parents of an American child go to prison for breaking the law, the child surely suffers his parents’ consequences, and learns lessons in the process. Sending the anchor child back to the parents’ home countries is actually more compassionate than the consequences brought upon children whose American parents are lawbreakers…Having a couple hundred-thousand American citizens sent home with their illegal alien parents might just teach Mexico a thing or two

As VDARE.com has said many times before, this Birthright Citizenship absurdity has to be stopped if America is to remain American. In the meantime Unabashedly Unhyphenated has an idea worth thinking about.

A people, it is said, get the government they deserve. So perhaps it was to be expected that Orange County, North Carolina, site of VDARE.com-suppressor Eric Muller’s lair UNC-Chapel Hill, and neighbor of Durham County, host to national disgrace Duke University, should get immigration wrong. Orange won’t play immigration role Patrick Winn The News & Observer January 26 2007 (Access requires free registration) gushes:

A resolution adopted Tuesday by the Orange County Board of Commissioners essentially tells law enforcement this:
Don’t actively look to detain illegal immigrants who haven’t committed other offenses….

I want Orange County to be the kind of county people feel safe in,” said Commissioner Mike Nelson. “All laws should be enforced, but we are not the enforcement agency responsible for immigration.”

The County has handed policy in the area over to a professional minority, Milan Pham:

Orange County’s position, drafted by its Human Rights and Relations Department, is that doing that promotes racial profiling and weakens minorities’ trust in police.
“Undocumented immigrants are not just black, brown or yellow,” said Milan Pham, director of the county’s human rights department. “How will you know who’s documented unless you ask everybody?”

and comes equipped with the regulation-issue craven police chief:

Orange County Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass is comfortable with the county’s direction, he said.
“We’ve got enough to do in Orange County protecting people and their property,” he said. “I’m not interested in any task force-type initiative. You know, ‘Let me see your green card.’ “

(E mail Pendergrass)

This stance is in pitiful contrast with other North Carolina counties, such as Mecklenburg, which has emerged as a national leader in responsible local government on immigration.

Being a neighbor of Orange County, however, does not necessarily mean you have to be in the Treason Lobby:

Cooperating with ICE has been a blessing in neighboring Alamance County, said Randy Jones, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office there. “Orange County is making a grave mistake,” Jones said. “They’ve got their head in the sand.”
About 70 percent of the people charged by Alamance deputies with drug trafficking turn out to be illegal immigrants, Jones said…
“I don’t know how detaining someone for committing a crime is not the job of law enforcement,” he said.
