One Reporter's Opinion: Congress Must Pass H.R. 4437! George Putnam It is this reporter's opinion that Vicente Fox and his Mexican government should take another look at Article 33 of the Mexican constitution. It says (in part) that it should have the exclusive right "to expel from the national territory immediately and without necessity of judicial proceedings all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. FOREIGNERS MAY NOT IN ANY MANNER INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN THE POLITICAL AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTRY." [my emphasis] Isn't it logical that the United States has that same right? And yet Mexico's own foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, looked our U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in the eye and said: "The United States cannot secure its southern border without Mexico's blessing. It will not have Mexico's blessing until America agrees to the Mexican demands." And he added: "Unless and until both governments bite the bullet and reach understanding on all encompassing joint border security, with adequate funding and infrastructure, the violence and criminal activity at the border will remain unabated." [my emphasis]
Obviously, they are serious. As this is being written, a million people will march through Los Angeles, Atlanta and other cities, demanding open borders and amnesty. These marchers, carrying Mexican flags, are protesting our own H.R. 4437 now before the U.S. Senate. This bill passed by Congress opposes guest worker amnesty and has nothing to do with racism or xenophobia.

Americans, by a vast majority, oppose any plan that converts illegal aliens into legal temporary workers – any plan that rewards criminal lawbreakers with the right to legally live and work in the world's greatest nation and is unjust to aliens who are trying to immigrate and choose to respect and abide by our laws.
H.R. 4437 does not include a guest worker/amnesty program. It does include tough provisions to enforce the immigration law on corporations that hire illegals. It also would build 700 miles of double fencing along the Mexican border to help our overburdened Border Patrol to defend our homeland.
The Mexican government is so determined in opposition to 4437, it has footed the bill for full-page ads in three of our largest newspapers – the advertisement titled "A MESSAGE FROM MEXICO ABOUT MIGRATION" damning the resolution passed by our Congress to stop the illegal invasion. The ads did not come cheap – a full-page ad in the Washington Post costs as much as $100,000; the same ad, about $70,000 in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.
Mexico hired Allyn & Co., a Dallas-based public relations firm, to (as the firm puts it) "correct misconceptions about our southern neighbor." Allyn & Co. has long-standing ties to the Bush administration, having worked for the president during his campaign for Texas governor and national office.
A marketing professor says: "A foreign government buying ad space to promote an official policy is very, very unusual. I've never seen the likes of it, never before."
The stakes are high. Without significant reductions in the overall levels of immigration, our population will climb to more than 500 million by mid-century. Such a massive population growth would dramatically alter every aspect of life in the U.S. and yet we allow the invaders to march our streets, pollute the media and involve themselves in the political affairs of our country.
Before it's too late, call your senators. Put an end to this madness! Phone your senators at 202-224-3121. Tell them, however it is disguised: "NO AMNESTY ... PERIOD! Pass 4437. Pass the House Bill! Save America!"
It is this reporter's opinion that we owe it to ourselves, our children, and our children's children.
