Mexico Consulate Officials Patrol Staten Island to Protect Mexican Citizens

Police are investigating another assault on a Hispanic man in Staten Island as a possible hate crime -- and the Mexican government is now getting involved as well.

Five men attacked the 40-year-old Mexican man Friday night as he was walking home after a soccer game at Faber Park, cop said. The attackers allegedly pummeled him while yelling anti-Mexican epithets. The man suffered head trauma, a fractured jaw and needed ten stitches above his eye, officials said.
The group of men made off with his backpack.

According to the Advance, this latest incident has promoted the Mexican Consulate to post personnel in Staten Island until further notice. This move is an effort to safeguard the rights of individuals and effectively assist and provide information to the Mexican residents of this area.

There are several issues I could refer to in this article, but I would like to focus on this aspect of the article: the Mexican Consulate is going to post patrols at Staten Island to protect MEXICAN RESIDENTS of this area.

Why is it a foreign country (Mexico) is allowed to make patrols in a particular state (New York), yet one of our states (Arizona) is catching flak for trying to keep illegals (mainly from Mexico) out?

Where is the logic? Whatever happened to taking care of sovereign territory?

It is wrong to assault anyone, or to take the law into your own hands, but allowing Mexico to patrol in this manner is wrong also. Will we tolerate UN patrols in the United States if we are sanctioned by the UN?

Common sense has flown out the window. We the CONSERVATIVE people of the United States need to take our country back.

This Tax Payer is Ticked Off

I took my son to a 4-H cooking class today, held at the Maury County Health Department. We paid a very small fee, $10.00, to participate.

Because I am already paying taxes, I thought I would check on getting my newborn's shots there.

The fee is based on income. I have no problem with that, for the most part. My part would be 95% of the cost of the shot.

However, I felt compelled to ask, "If an illegal immigrant comes in and asks for childhood immunizations, are they free for them, though they are here illegally?"

The receptionist, who was so sweet, by the way, a really nice person, gave me an apologetic look, raised her eyebrows, scrunched her nose, and said, "Yes, sir, I'm afraid so, sir."

I said, "That pisses me off. I understand it is not your fault, and I am not mad with you, but it isn't right! I have paid my taxes, I am here legally, contributing to society, and this illegal alien who does not work or pay taxes can just waltz in and get the shots? So I have to pay 95% of the cost of my newborn's immunizations, still pay my taxes, while this non-tax-paying illegal gets them for free? I am essentially paying for the shot 2 or 3 times! Is that what I am hearing?"

"Yes, sir, I'm sorry sir."

This whole scheme is indefensible.

This is why the Tea Party exists, and why I am going to join it as soon as I can.
