Mexicans Say Guard Won't Slow Migrants

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico - President Bush's decision to send the National Guard to the Mexican border drew an angry response from migrants who said troops would not deter them, while Mexico's government said Monday it would respect the U.S. action as "a sovereign decision."

After Bush announced the plan to send 6,000 soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border late Monday, would-be migrants at a shelter in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez said the presence of troops would not stop them from sneaking across the Rio Grande.

"I have no work in my country so if the soldiers turn me back, I will try again," said Raul Garduno, a 28-year old Salvadoran.

On Sunday, President Vicente Fox telephoned Bush to express concern about what he called plans to "militarize" the border. But on Monday, Fox's spokesman, Ruben Aguilar, said Mexico had no choice but to respect the action.

"It is a sovereign decision," he said. "We can't interfere."

In a further sign that Mexico would not take a strong stance against the U.S. announcement, the Foreign Relations Department released a statement saying that Bush's message showed a "recognition of the importance of immigrants to the social, political and economic life (of the United States) and reinforced the vision that the migration phenomenon needs an integral reform."

But presidential hopeful Felipe Calderon from Fox's National Action Party said the military presence would endanger migrants, while failing to stop the human wave heading northwards.

Are they kidding? They are declaring that they have the right to break American laws with impunity. They are ANGRY at this? Hey Illegals, you have no rights. You are lawbreakers. You are criminals who deserve to be treated as criminals.

Illegal advocacy groups are always bemoaning the loss of a few hundred Illegals who die trying to break our laws. I have an idea, why don't those illegals turn around and risk their lives in taking over their own government and bring about the changes necessary for them to have a good life in their own country.
