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.
