"Mind Your Own Children!"

The United States of America extends from the Canadian border on the north to the Mexican border on the south. We have Alaska, which borders Canada, Hawaii, an island and American territory, Puerto Rico. The people living within those boundaries are bound by the laws of the United States of America. People who live outside those boundaries are outside of the dominion of the United States, and are not bound by U.S. laws.

When I was a boy growing up, my Dad had a saying "My house, my rules, if you don't like it here, you can move out and make your own rules." My Dad was a wise man. He paid the bills; he provided our food, clothes, medical care and any other expense the family required. Now Dad's rules didn't extend to other families. When we were out and we would see other children acting in ways that were not tolerated in our house, Dad would say, "Not my kids, not my rules." Dad's authority was limited to our household, it didn't extend to our neighbor's children; although he wouldn't tolerate disrespect from anyone while they were in our home, and he would let any person who was a guest know that.

"Mexico does not end at its borders, where there is a Mexican there is Mexico", these words were spoken by Mexico's President Calderon on September 4, 2010. This is the same President Calderon who spoke against the state of Arizona before our Congress to a standing ovation of Democrats. I'll have to look closely at my ballot in the next election to see if I can find the name Calderon anywhere! He feels he can dictate American policy on the floor of our own Congress; what arrogance!

It seems Mexico is having more problems. The Mexican government doesn't want the United States to deport any more criminal illegal aliens back to their native country. Mayors from four Mexican cities, Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Nogales and Nuevo Laredo attended a mayor's conference in San Diego, California and they said they didn't want any more criminal illegal aliens sent back to Mexico. The Mexican government wants the United States to make "other arrangements" in regard to deporting illegals. It seems we have a policy of sending violent criminals back to Mexico after they finish their prison sentences here; and Mexico doesn't want them back! Mexico claims they are overwhelmed with the influx of deportees from the U.S., and they are having a crisis of housing, jobs, schools and crime! Oddly, it seems the Obama administration is cooperating by delaying or slowing our efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens back to Mexico. I guess we are supposed to cure Mexico's job, housing and crime problems by keeping their troubles in the United States! I guess when Calderon said" Mexico was anywhere a Mexican was" made a true statement. It seems we are subservient to Mexican requests at the expense of the American citizen.

When will Barack Obama realize we have enough problems of our own? We are not responsible for Mexican unemployment, housing or their high crime rate. When criminal illegal aliens commit violent acts in the United States and go to prison, we should send them back when they are done with their sentences. These people are a Mexican responsibility. Calderon, keep your troubles to yourself! America has enough trouble of our own!
