See Mexican government's guide for crossing and living in the U.S. illegally

In 1994, the Mexican government produced a 32-page "How To" guide for Mexican nationals crossing the border illegally into the United States. Despite the fact that this pamphlet has been around for 17 years, and has the official endorsement of Mexico, the mainstream press has completely ignored what amounts to an instruction manual for illegal aliens.

While Mexcio publicly claims to be working with U.S. authorities in stemming the flow of illegal aliens into this country, this booklet tells another story and is further evidence of their complicity. After all, illegal immigration is big business for Mexico, as remittances (wire transfers) from the United States represents Mexico's second most lucrative industry, behind oil exports.

What follows are a few excerpts taken directly from Mexico's "Guide for the Mexican Migrant:"

"Dear fellow citizen:

This guide tries to provide you with some practical advice that may be useful to you in case you have made the difficult decision to seek new work opportunities outside of your own country.

Dangers of Crossing in High-Risk Zones

Crossing the river can be very risky, especially if you cross alone and at night.

Thick clothing increases your weight when wet and makes it hard to swim or float.

If you cross in the desert, try to travel when the heat is not so intense.

Highways and towns are very far apart, so that it could take you several days to find roads and you will not be able to carry food or water for that long; you could get lost.

Salted water helps you retain body fluids. Although you get more thirsty, if you drink salted water the risk of dehydration is lessened.

Be Careful of "Polleros," "Coyotes" or "Pateros"

If you decide to use the services of "polleros", "coyotes" or "pateros" to cross the border, consider the following precautions to take:

Don't let him out of your sight; remember that he's the only one that knows the terrain and therefore is the one that can get you out.

Things to avoid

Avoid calling attention to yourself, at least while you are arranging your residence papers to live in the United States.

The best formula is not to alter your routine of going between work and home. Avoid noisy parties because the neighbors can get upset and call the police, and you could be arrested.

Domestic violence does not consist solely of hitting others but also can be threats, shouting or mistreatment.

If you are accused of domestic violence against your children, your mate or someone else who lives with toy, you could go to jail. In addition, Child Protective Services authorities could take away your children.

Do not carry firearms, bladed weapons or other dangerous objects.

Keep in mind that many Mexicans have died or are in prison because of these things."

    We should finally finish building that wall to stop the hemmorhaging across our borders. Mexico is building a fence on its southern border. The Greeks are 80% in favor of the protective wall being planned between their country and Turkey, the source of their illegal invaders. Seems like everybody is getting on the bandwagon for protecting their borders.

    What is truly amazing is that we can spend billions on the US military and the Chinese build a Sino-FB-22 Stealth bomber in total secrecy; the US spends money for defending the borders of rich countries like South Korea, wages a useless war in Afghanistan but can't seem to defend our own border against Mexican infiltrators and Mexican Anchor baby colonists! We are getting very little bang for our bucks being expended on the US military. Time to bring the troops back home and build a defensible border fence.

    Yes, a Great Wall of America to keep out the Southern Invaders.

    please someone with a voice please get a movement started to take back our country. Clearly our government will do nothing it's almost too late Both the Dem's and the Repubs want illegal aliens over american born citizens. for the last 30 plus years this has been a growing problem now it is completely out of control. We the people must do something immediately. If we have to we must take to the streets but above all we must vote every incumbent politician in both state and federal government out of office and or recall them if it takes too long to unseat them at the ballot box. During this entire budget crisis no one in congress has mentioned the Trillions of dollars spent and defrauded from the tax payers by illegal aliens this is a corrupt sick government we must do it ourselves please help!!!!!
