Red Cross: Mexico Abuses Illegal Aliens Where is Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International?

This takes a minute to read skip this question if reading is too hard for you CBN News reports that the Red Cross says the Mexican government is engaged in open hypocrisy: demanding the U.S. open its borders and its wallet to every government service while Mexican officials continue to abuse those entering Mexico illegally and deny the most basic human rights to any.The Mexican constitution provides for stiff penalties for illegal aliens caught entering or living in Mexico. But beyond that, CBN News shows how the Red Cross is trying to expose “unofficial” abuses committed by Mexican police and immigration officials against aliens. Such abuses include bribery, robbery, assault, kidnapping, rape, and murder. Where is Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International? Once again, we find them strangely absent. The Mexican government was outraged by the movement to build a new wall on America's southern border. Mexico's Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez went before the cameras to protest.But in Mexico, when it comes to the treatment of its illegal aliens it's, ‘Do as as I say, not as I do.’Mexico has called U.S. immigration policy "harsh," and has called the proposed wall on the U.S. Mexico border "shameful." But some have called the Mexican immigration policy "hypocritical."Enter Mexico illegally and you're treated as a felon. If you're caught by the Federal Police, you'll be fortunate if you're only deported immediately. The unfortunate are robbed, abused, raped, or even murdered by corrupt police officers.Yet the government of Mexico as yet remains unchallenged even by the same Catholic Church quick to criticize the U.S. for alleged shortcomings. Although the Catholic Church in Mexico does shield illegal aliens from being found out, it refuses to publicly criticize the government in Mexico City as it does the one in Washington, D.C. Fernando Aguilar Neri coordinates Red Cross efforts to help illegal aliens in Mexico“When people approach us, they are usually fearful that we work with the government and are afraid of being reported,” said Neri. “…One of the seven principles of the Red Cross is complete neutrality and independence, so we can't cooperate with the Mexican government on the illegal alien issue.”Mexico doesn’t make it easy on naturalized citizens either: according to its own constitution, those immigrating to Mexico and becoming naturalized will never have the right to vote or take part in the political process. Also, anyone wishing to be naturalized or otherwise live in Mexico who was not born there to Mexican parents must prove he will be able to cover his own healthcare, pay for any liabilities incurred, and otherwise be financially solvent without taking jobs away from locals. The Center for Security Policy bullets a few of the provisions which, were they law in the United States, would even a very unfair immigration playing field at present: Immigrants and foreign visitors are banned from public political discourse.Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights.Immigrants are denied equal employment rights.Immigrants and naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens.Immigrants and naturalized citizens are not to be trusted in public service.Immigrants and naturalized citizens may never become members of the clergy.Private citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants)and hand them to the authorities.Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process.Sneaking into Mexico of course is a punishable felony, which immediately disqualifies the offender from ever being able to obtain citizenship. To further add to the risks for illegal aliens, Mexican border guards are permitted to shoot on site illegals caught trying to enter the country, and do so without regard for age, gender, race, nationality, refugee or health status. About 10 percent of Mexico's population is now living in the United States, that’s over 10 million people. And how many illegal aliens in its own country has Mexico legalized in the past five years? Just 15,000. The Mexican government may think a new wall on the U.S. border is offensive, but critics are saying far worse things about Mexico's immigration policy.http://blogbat.us/mt/archives/2007/09/red_cross_mexic.html

Public Comments

1. Mexico has the right idea....but then I think we should put our military on the border with orders to shoot on sight...no exceptions!
2. They are the epitome of hipocrisy! Apparently the Catholics are afraid to talk there, too. Another huge hypocrisy issue!
3. WHen Fox was all over the US talking trash about our treatment of illegals......and all the while Mexico was doing what it does to those from Guatamala and Honduras.......I couldn't stomach looking at the hypocritical son of a Bi+ch!
4. This is old news. Mexico demands we take care of their citizens, but treats illegals from other countries like criminals. It's hypocritical.
5. What do you expect from the Klan with the tan. Messycons are the most racist people on earth.
6. If our laws were that tough and we enforced them just as strickly as Mexico, we would have no illegal alien problem, period! Its time!
7. I avoid using my own standards to judge people, because they come from their own background. I try to hold them by the standard they came from. Mexico violates their own standards. It's racism if they hold certain people by one standard and other people by another. basically their saying we expect this from Americans but we ourselves don't have to follow this standards. I'm giving you a star, because I never considered that the Catholic church had two standards on immigration. It's disturbing to me that a religion would have two different standards for two different countries.
