Your "Guide for the Mexican Migrant" roundup
In reverse chronological order, here are the posts about the Mexican government's guide to being an illegal alien:
"Mexico publishes guide to assist border crossers": The Drudge-linked AZ Republic article that started it all; post includes quote from earlier article about consul general visiting a day laborer center.
"[WH] Spokesman to 'look into' illegal-alien guide": Scott McClellan weaves and bobs compassionately.
"Mexico's Border-Crossing Tips Anger Some in U.S.": The LAT weighs in, getting a B- for their coverage.
"Mexico and its illegals": a WashTimes editorial.
"A big cuchi-cuchi! from our "friends" to the south": I provide my own limited "translation."
"Mexico Defends Comic Book for Illegal Immigrants"
Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) on "Illegal Immigration and Remittances For Dummies": "[it's a] flagrant example of the Mexican government's lack of respect for U.S. laws."
"Illustrating folly": The AZ Republic seems mostly angered by Mexico's tactical blunder in this editorial.
"No Humor in Comic: Advice on breaking U.S. law is ill-advised": a similar editorial from the Dallas Morning News.
"Education and immigration": another similar editorial from the the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
"A Mexican Manual for Illegal Migrants Upsets Some in U.S.": the NYT weighs in.
"Migration pamphlet draws fire in U.S." the Houston Chronicle report includes this priceless quote from a Mexican official: "The Mexican government in no way encourages emigration."
"Illegal Immigration and Remittances For Dummies" to be distributed in the U.S.? that's what one Mexican newspaper says.
Translations of the "Guide for the Mexican Migrant": includes two "translations" and one translation.
Apologists for the "Guide for the Mexican Migrant": it'd look something like this AZ Daily Star column.
UPDATE:
"The Mexican-American War, Round 2": from Don Feder
"[AZ Gov. Janet Napolitano] critical of Mexican manual"
"Illegals and the State Department": The WashTimes tries and fails to get the State Dep't to do something about the comic.
"Dumb Like a Fox": we should follow the money.
Now that's an apologist!: A very minor scholar wants us to see things from the Mexican perspective.
UPDATE 2:
"Immigrants Hail Mexico's Migrant Guide": 9 out of 10 illegal aliens praise the guide. Also confirms that consulates are distributing the comic in the U.S. (source article)

Mexican law forbids Americans from traveling more than 30km from their borders without a VISA so why does the USA let any foreigners travel inside our borders without a VISA?
