What's going on and what they're saying in N.O.

WASHINGTON - President Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon heralded the reopening of the Mexican consulate here Monday as a sign of close ties between the neighboring nations and a reason to celebrate the rebirth of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.

*Sort of an aside -
I heard bush say (verbatim)
If you get rid of NAFTA it will be hard on the Mexicans
No comment :rolleyes:

another -
When you're able to export goods, it helps neighborhoods

This president assures us that importing (outsourcing) "certain" (career type employ) and the insourcing of a greater number of poverty stricken, poorly educated peoples into America is a best bet. :wtf: :confused: I'm not a hateful person, yet . . . .
Selected quotes from article
"I chose New Orleans for our meetings with Mexico and Canada because I wanted to send a clear signal to the people of my country that New Orleans is open for business,"
yea what business, the bars ?

The Mexican government closed the consulate as a cost-saving measure in 2002.
Then just go away again and save some more of your money.

Immigrants from Mexico and across Latin America have worked to rebuild the city, and tens of thousands now live in the New Orleans area.
If true "immigrants" and in fact sworn "Americans", fine !, if not,
don't go around calling everybody whose simply here an immigrant.

Pushing the United States to pass immigration reform as well as trade is
on the slate of issues Calderon will discuss with Bush at the summit.
Just who the hell are you "pushing" Mr Calderon ? Not this red white & blue !

"I know that thousands of Mexicans have participated in the reconstruction of New Orleans," Calderon said. "I'm very happy today to see New Orleans standing and working."
Why so ? Oh, they're off of your back ? Sheesh ! That was easy. Off of your back wholst weakening the North Americas too boot. A win win !


There Is No Leadership Here
It's a Free Fall, I'm afraid.
Where will we be in two weeks, 2 months, 6 months . . . . . . . . . . . . . all questions and no answers.
