Typical

The US State Department's report on human rights abroad has drawn typical responses from the expected sources. The following is, however, a bit over the top:
Jose Luis Soberanes, president of Mexico's Human Rights Commission, also said the United States lacked moral authority to pass judgment on others, citing U.S. treatment of Mexicans who sneak across the border into the United States.
Huh?

I suggest the US head off the inevitable Bill O'Reilly orchestrated anti-Mexican backlash by implementing a no bag-limit, 365 day wetback season. The Mexicans will have a big cry but who cares?

Update: From The Detroit News:
A Dearborn man pleaded guilty Tuesday to providing material support to Hezbollah, a foreign terrorist organization.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said Kourani bribed a Mexican consular official in Beirut to get a visa to travel to Mexico. Kourani and a traveling companion then paid another man in Mexico to be smuggled across the southern U.S. border Feb. 4, 2001, the government said.

His brother is Hezbollah's chief of military security in southern Lebanon and oversaw Kourani's activities.


Yep, open season, machine-guns and spot-lighting from helicopters allowed.
