California Conservative

Earlier this afternoon I spoke with Assemblyman Chuck DeVore. He explained to me why he decided not to attend the President Fox speech before a joint session of the legislature. Chuck said he was going to write a piece for his blog and gave me permission to reprint it in mine.

Mexico President Vicente Fox is speaking to a joint session of the California legislature at 4:30pm. Fox is the man who is promoting his own citizens to cross deserts to get into the United States, illegally. He is the one giving his citizens comic books on how to sneak into our nation. His military has crossed into our nation to protect the criminals leaving his nation.

Congratulations to Assemblyman DeVore for standing up for the Rule of Law. Fox is a bad man. His policies and government have brought misery to millions of Hispanics.

Also, I thought you should see some tidbits about illegal aliens on the same day our legislature and Governor are about to “toast, host and take photos with” the man that sends his citizens into the desert.

BTW, do you think any Republican legislator will want their photo taken with President Fox, knowing their opponents in the future will use that photo in a “hit piece” on them?

From Assemblyman Chuck DeVore:

Why I won’t be listening to the President of Mexico address the Legislature

Thursday afternoon at 4:30 p.m., President Vicente Fox of Mexico will speak to a joint session of the California State Legislature. I won’t be there.

I won’t be there because I don’t want to hear President Fox tell me how we Americans need to change our laws. I don’t care to listen to him lecture us about how we should not secure our borders. I don’t give a whit about his opinion on how the U.S. should enforce its national sovereignty.

Instead, I have sent the Mexican government a letter outlining my objections to Mr. Fox’s visit. In the letter (included below with the press release I sent out today below that), I point out that the Mexican president’s position on illegal immigration is the height of hypocrisy as Mexico has militarized its southern border while making it a felony punishable by up to two years in prison to violate its immigration laws. Furthermore, in Mexico it is a crime for a foreign national to even speak out about Mexican public policy. Foreigners have been deported for speaking their mind in Mexico, while in America, foreign nationals, many here illegally, held mass rallies without impunity.

Mexico’s refusal to reform its government, root out corruption, and educate its people are the prime reasons that drive millions of its citizens north, often in violation of U.S. immigration law. We must tend to our own needs first. Securing our border and defending our national sovereignty are our imperatives, not Mexico’s and certainly not Mr. Fox’s, and frankly, I don’t care what his wants and desires are about U.S. policy and law.

Lastly, heads-up, I’ll be on KFI 640AM tonight at about 8:05 p.m. on the John Ziegler Show. (To listen online, click here: http://www.kfi640.com/pages/streaming.html ).

All the best,
Chuck DeVore, State Assemblyman, 70th District
