removed from the sanctuary city list.

Mexico's President Shows Blatant Hypocrisy

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon Sunday demanded the
United States surrender its sovereignty, abandon the rule of law and accede
to Mexico's inherent supremacy.

In his state of the union address to the Mexican nation, Calderon
established his imperialistic imperatives: "I have said that Mexico does not
stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico. And,
for this reason, the government action on behalf of our countrymen is guided
by principles, for the defense and protection of their rights."

More....
Dobbs: Mexican president's blatant hypocrisy - CNN.com
Gee, what a shock. Calderon promotes the rights of Mexicans OUTSIDE of it's
sovereign borders--oh yes, Mexico has sovereign borders, the U.S. is
expected to do away with ours. Why isn't this man fighting for the rights of
Mexicans within Mexico's border? Why doesn't he attempt to better his
country so that his countrymen don't feel as if they must leave Mexico in
order to live a better life?

What a charlatan.

Two Iraqi spies met in a busy restaurant after they had successfully slipped into the US



The first spy starts speaking in Arabic. The second
spy hushes him quickly and whispers:


'Don't blow our cover. You're in America now, speak Spanish.

[kimbercuddles]

Wow...that is a long list...I've never really understood what cities have to gain by hiding illegals. Obviously, in the long run, it is much more likely to hurt the citizens than help them.

I've actually heard that joke before, but it still made me grin. Just the other day, someone on the news was reporting that there was a pizza place somewhere that was accepting pesos for payment...
