What about Mexico's own migra are there double standards on who gets human rights there ?

Mexico is hardly in a position to criticize. Since 1974, foreign immigrants in Mexico illegally have been subject to prison sentences of two years, plus a fine. Immigrants who are caught reentering Mexico after deportation face 10-year prison sentences, compared to two years here.That is, until now. Mexican President Felipe Calderon has decided to tackle immigration reform of his own, and he is seeking the repeal of Article 123 of the General Population Law, which makes illegal immigrants the Mexican equivalent of felons. The vast majority of the 185,000 illegal immigrants caught, detained and deported by Mexican officials each year come from Guatemala and Honduras, and many of them are in transit toward the Rio Grande. Human rights advocates have documented a lengthy list of abuses faced by these migrants — threats, extortion and even violence — stemming in part from their status as felons. In addition to amending Mexico's draconian and hypocritical law, Calderon's government is vowing to improve living conditions and medical services at the 48 detention centers where illegal immigrants are held pending deportation. Proposed upgrades include the addition of hot water and telephone service.

In a recent report, Mexico's National Commission on Human Rights accused immigration agents of numerous violations, citing one instance in which 78 migrants were crammed into four cells, each designed to hold only five people, and denied food and water for more than 24 hours.

    Since Mexico is so adamant on Americans treating their illegals right, I think that no amnesty effort should be attempted in the USA until every last illegal Guatemalan is allowed onto Mexican soil (and no, passing off their Guatemalans off onto the US afterwards will NOT be tolerated).

    How about those whom seek a better life in Mexico they do come and take the jobs Mexicans walked away from.Mexico seems to get away with this.Suppose if this happened in America Mexico would be demanding an investigation and arrests and the human rights advocates would be out demanding justice but in Mexico the matter is unimportant.Do human rights only apply if you are from Mexico?

    Guatemalans go to Mexico and illegally take Mexicans' jobs,

    which makes the Mexicans go and take the Americans' jobs, which makes the Americans go and take the Canadians' jobs, so pretty soon it'll be the Greenlanders' turn. So instead of deporting them to Guatemala, we should pay Mexico to send them to Greenland!

    in the beginning, calling the learn article a "secret" is a blatant lie and you be responsive to it. in case you have forgotten, they are public conferences. Get those rose colored glasses off your face boy, before they do everlasting injury on your eyes and innovations. 2nd, the call of the object grow to be "it rather is definitely GOD'S HOLY call" The articles reported purpose, as summarized interior the final paragraph, grow to be: "This written testimony [fifteenth century codex by skill of Nicholas Cusa] is further information that varieties of God's call comparable to "Jehovah" have been the main hardship-unfastened literary transcription of God's call for hundreds of years" If this text have been proposing information against the trinity, then specific the Witnesses could have been incorrect in employing Cusa. yet they are actually not DISCUSSING TRINITY. they are discussing the documented age of the Latin spelling "Iehoua.", and that they are employing Cusa to tutor that men did certainly have self assurance that "Iehoua" [Eng. Jehovah], grow to be primary to be a recognition for God. Who those men chosen be conscious that call to [Jesus] is beside the point to the subject count. The Witnesses secure the footnote out of uncomplicated scholarly honesty and openness. As a researcher myself, i take excitement in the artwork they do and how the present their concepts, fairly this text. lower back, it quite is unreasonable to anticipate Witnesses to only use supplies that trust each thought that they've. it quite is idiotic and unfair to anticipate that of anybody.
