Immigration debate seems to assume, as a pre-requisite, the suspension of all common sense.
I have for some time marveled at the chutzpah of the Mexican government lecturing the U.S. on how it should handle illegal immigration.
Regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum on the debate over illegal immigration, it is difficult not to be slack-jawed at the Mexican audacity. Earlier this year, Mexican President Felipe Calderon lectured the U.S. and Arizona on the floor of Congress over our handling of illegal immigration. Crushing poverty and crime forces millions to flee Mexico, with the tacit approval of their government, and to enter illegally into the U.S.–and they lecture us. Like I said, chutzpah.
Frankly, I have never seen anything else like it. Until now.

Just an aside for any Catholics, including Bishops, who might be sympathetic to the diplomacy of groveling to Mexico: If you are caught as an illegal immigrant in Mexico (say if you're from Honduras or El Salvador or Ecuador), you will spend a minimum of one year in a Mexican prison before being unceremoniously deported.
