The USDA is promoting social welfare benefits to "Mexicans". Some of those are new U.S. citizens, some are legal immigrants from that country, and some are illegal aliens. And, the U.S. government is working with the Mexican government to get U.S. benefits to those people, thereby including Mexico's citizens who are in the U.S. illegally.

And, the Bush administration claims it's cracking down on illegal immigration. Obviously, the Bush administration is lying.

From the AP's "U.S., Mexican officials launch outreach campaigns" (identical article here):

Estimating not even 50 percent of Mexicans in the United States who are eligible for Department of Agriculture programs take advantage of them, U.S. and Mexican officials pledged Tuesday to make Hispanics more aware of programs available to them.

The purpose of their meeting, which included Mexican consuls from Salt Lake City to Orlando, was to find ways to implement recent agreements between Mexico's Foreign Ministry and USDA officials on Hispanic access to nutrition programs as well as housing and business loans...

This isn't necessarily as Orwellian as it might appear. One way to explain this shifting back and forth between "Mexican" and "Hispanic" is that this Bush administration scheme is race-based and not specifically country-based: they're focusing their efforts on "Hispanics", but since most of those are "Mexicans" that's why they're working with the Mexican consuls instead of, say, consuls from Honduras.

The article then goes in to how some of these benefits the USDA is promoting are available to illegal aliens. And:

...the best way to reach the Spanish-speaking community is through the consulates with whom they have already built a rapport, officials agreed.

...[USDA's Rural Development office in Georgia] launched a program to promote home ownership and business loans for Hispanics in rural U.S. areas. Loans require U.S. citizenship, Workman said.

So, the Bush administration is reaching out to U.S. citizens who were originally from Mexico using... Mexican consuls?

If someone is an American citizen, haven't they renounced any ties to their former country? Aren't those new citizens "ours" now? Isn't it an extremely dangerous slap to American sovereignty to give a foreign government influence over those new citizens? Aren't we basically giving a foreign government control over some of our citizens?

Isn't this an extremely dangerous slippery slope, perhaps leading to giving the Mexican government control over territory in the U.S.? The Bush administration would appear to already be living in the North American Community.
