Mexican agents in the state houses?

FoxNews recently published 'Georgia Latinos Object to 'Illegal Aliens' Label':

Each year, nearly 1 million foreigners unlawfully sneak into the United States.

But don't call them "illegal aliens" because that's the moral equivalent of a racial slur, according to the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials.

"We do find that term very offensive and liken it to the 'n' word as well," GALEO Executive Director Kerry Gonzalez said...

I like Fox's tone. GALEO's complaint is also treated with derision by Neal Boortz.

As with other immigration matters (see the UCLA illegal-alien-voters study), there's unfortunately usually a bit more happening behind the scenes than just some nut sending out a press release.

Namely, GALEO was founded by these three:

Senator Sam Zamarripa (SD-36), Representative Pedro Marin (HD-66) and Judge Tony del Campo (DeKalb County State Court) form the nucleus of GALEO...

As I discussed here, Pedro Marin is allegedly the Executive Director of Centro Mexicano De Atlanta/The Mexican Center Of Atlanta, Inc.

The Centro Mexicano De Atlanta/The Mexican Center Of Atlanta, Inc. allegedly has a legal domicile at the Atlanta Mexican Consulate Office.

Maybe (perhaps in a parallel universe) it's all innocent. Or, maybe the Mexican government is paying a salary to a Georgia state representative.

There's currently an ethics complaint against him, and it won't be investigated until early May. Hopefully that won't prevent someone at Fox from doing a little bit of investigating in the meantime.
