The Height of Hypocrisy–
Calderon bashed Arizona yesterday on the White House lawn and today in front of Congress for asking illegal immigrants to show their papers.
Democrats gave him a standing ovation.
But, last night on CNN, Mexican President Felipe Calderon admitted that Mexican authorities ask for papers from people they expect to be illegal immigrants, too.
Rush Limbaugh weighed in:
Who is he to preach to us? For crying out loud, they deport more illegal immigrants from Mexico than we do! How do they catch their illegal immigrants? Do they profile them? How the hell do they find out who’s in their country illegally? Here’s the next question from Wolf Blitzer.
Blitzer: “So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, can they just walk in?”
CALDERON: No! They need to fulfill, uh, a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedence.
BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?
CALDERON: Of course! Of course!
BLITZER: If somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico, they can going get a job?
CALDERON: No, no, no.
BLITZER: They can work?
CALDERON: If somebody do that without permissions, we send — we send back them.
RUSH: We didn’t record that ourselves. We didn’t make it up.
