Note to Mexico: Americans love being told what to do

The Mexican consul general in Colorado, Juan Marcos Gutierrez-Gonzalez ("JMGG"), has thoughts and notes on their new law against illegal immigration.

JMGG says the new laws are creating "a climate of fear and anxiety", even causing some Mexicans living in Colorado to consider a change of venue: "Some are asking which is closer, Wyoming or New Mexico."

He also says that Luis Ernesto Derbez:

sent a letter to Colorado Gov. Bill Owens to express his concerns. Derbez said the "migration phenomenon" is complex and the United States needs to find a solution at the federal level.

Gutierrez-Gonzalez said he acknowledges Colorado's right to enforce its laws but his country is asking Owens to ensure it is done fairly.

"The consul general of Mexico is respectful of the right to find a solution," he said.

That's a close one. For a moment there I thought the third world kleptocracy to our south wasn't going to let us enforce our laws. Thankfully, they gave us some leeway. We can find a solution but, of course, it has to be solution in line with Mexico's agenda.

"Some are asking which is closer, Wyoming or New Mexico."

What? Are they so friggin' dumb they can't look at a map?

I guess 'old Mexico' didn't make it as a top two destination -- been there.

Amazing what AP wastes its time on.
