Hypocrisy
I saw a recent news report about illegal immigration INTO Mexico.
My first thought was, wow that female reporter has a nice body.....
My second thought was that they must have made a mistake in the title. Illegal Immigration into Mexico? From where? From the United States? If it is from the U.S., isn't that called being a tourist? Last time I checked, being a tourist wasn't illegal ....... except in Hawaii - I'll tell you why in another story.
Anyway, it was about illegal immigration into Mexico from Guatemala. What I found hypocritical was that Mexico has been pressuring the U.S. to treat their illegal immigrants with humanity and dignity if caught on the U.S. side, but the Mexican government does not treat the Guatemalan illegals the same way. If captured they are thrown into "holding facilities" which are actually prison complexes with squalid conditions. On the positive side one could argue that these facilities are comparable to the poorer areas of Mexico City.
But, how would they like it if we shoved all the illegals crossing our border into our poorer areas like San Bernadino or East L.A. or ......... oh wait, they're already there, aren't they .....
Well, thats beside the point! A lot of the Guatemalan illegals face other dangers like roving gangs or being killed by the trains they try to hop on to.
What ever happened to "Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you". Or in Spanish ...... well, I don't know Spanish but I'm sure it would have the same meaning ..... I know in British it would be "Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you, mate"
Its sad really ...... but, yeah, on the very positive side, that female reporter had a nice body ....
