http://news.yahoo.com/mexican-president-us-dumping-criminals-border-195654498.html

The Mexican president b*tches and moans that Mexican border towns are teeming with Mexican nationals who were deported from the United States before "being tried to determine if they were guilty or not".  Is he somehow implying that we are deporting massive numbers of innocent invaders who, once returned to their home coutnry, become criminals? ???

He then goes on to decry American immigration policies... which of course are quite LESS restrictive than Mexican policies.

Hey President Calderon...  keep your criminals on your side of the border, and keep your nose out of American lawmaking.  If your country was not hell-bent on sending its criminals into the USA, we would not be so hell-bent to send 'em back.

It says to me there are a lot of unwanted human beings out there.  These are men, women, and families made landless, penniless, and surfeit by the vagaries of economic devices on both sides of the border.  The truly criminal hearts are in the high turrets of governmental and corporate power.  They deal millions out of their greedy schemes and then write up laws by which it is impossible for a poor man to live.  So, the become "criminals" by default.

And once here add millions to the coffers of the wealthy

He should be thankful we maintain the convenient fiction of prohibition, without which his country's drug cartels would be deprived of most of their revenue, and all of their incentive to enter the United States.

The drug cartels are to the Mexican government what the petrochemical corporations are to the American government.

Nyet, comrade.

The drug cartels are to the Mexican government what the petrochemical corporations Goldman Sachs and the rest of the financial sector is to the American government.  

Speaking of which, a moment of unintentional candor from a month ago:

The guy got raked over the coals - not because anybody really disagreed with him, but because they were pissed off at the fact that he was just trying to make his way (and help others make their way) in a world that he had no part in creating.

Funny part is that if he held his short position from late September to today, he's probably bankrupt in the face of a 20% rally in the S&P since that interview, all on the hope that the Eurotards won't screw things up that badly when (the market is ignoring "if they don't") they come to an agreement.  I admire the guy for his candor in saying what others wouldn't say on national TV, and I hope that he cut his losses on his shorts before they bankrupted him. 

The drug cartels are to the Mexican government what the petrochemical corporations are to the American government.  


Warming up by bringing out over 9000 people against the Scilons, flubbing against the Iranians, scrawling graffiti over the walls of Sony, HBGary, dozens of Sheriffs' departments and half the US government's infosec community, helping topple the governments of Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, and farting in the general direction of Wall Street?  Nice progression from targeting "psychotic amateurs" to "people who only think they control their law" to "people who actually buy the laws".  

The only thing crazier than all of that would be...

Mexican drug cartels: We're so far above the law that we don't even bother to buy laws.
