Poor Mexico, Poor America I By Thomas Fleming
In early 2006, as the US Congress debated proposals for stricter immigration, hundreds of thousands Mexican-Americans took to the streets. In the first round of protests, Latino demonstrators waving Mexican flags demanded rights for the illegals and accused conservative Republicans of racism. Mexicans, illegal as well as legal, made an indispensable contribution to the American economy, and yet they were treated with disrespect and hostility. The same arguments appeared in Mexican newspapers. The propaganda had a common source: the speeches of President George Bush, who was widely quoted in Mexico as an advocate for the illegals.
