Mexico Abuses Illegal Aliens

The Washington Times reports that Mexico abuses illegal aliens crossing its southern border.

According to the Washington Times report , the State Department's Human Rights Practices report, cites abuses at all levels of the Mexican government, and charges that Mexican police and immigration officials not only violate the rights of illegal immigrants, but traffic in illegal aliens:

Although Mexico demands that its citizens' rights be protected when they illegally enter the United States, immigrants who cross illegally into Mexico "are often ripped off six ways until sundown," says George Grayson, a professor at the College of William & Mary and a fellow at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

Last week Mexican President Vicente said that his government will sue in U.S. or international courts if the Minuteman Project break the law.

We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure that these types of groups ... will not have any opportunity to progress.

In response, Arizona's Senator Jon Kyl, said Mr. Fox's "pre-emptive threats" to file lawsuits on behalf of those crossing the border unlawfully "is hardly helpful, since it presumes that illegal aliens have more of a right to break American law than American citizens have to peacefully assist authorities in enforcing it."

Perhaps President Fox should worry more about how Mexico treats illegal aliens crossing Mexico's borders than how the U.S. treats illegal aliens crossing our borders.
