Hispanics for Strong Borders

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Al Rodriguez, the Hispanic American founder of a coalition called " You Don't Speak For Me" .

Rodriguez, an advocate for immigration reform and stronger border enforcement, says Mexico has been working hard to prevent America from stemming the tide of illegal immigration into the U.S., and he feels it is foolish for anyone to suppose President Vicente Fox and his corrupt government are friendly to America's interests.

"If you really study the history of Mexico and U.S. relations," the colonel notes, "they never have been a friend of the United States of America. They're a friend of corruption. They're a friend of whatever they can take from the people."

There is much history that people fail to understand, especially President George W. Bush, Rodriguez contends. "I cannot believe that [Bush] believes Fox and Mexico are friends. Maybe they are friendly to him -- and they would be."

The border control advocate points out that Mexico is one of the richest countries in the world. "I think it's the fourth or fifth major oil producer, and yet their population is starving," he says, "and consequently, what they're trying to do is export all these people so they won't have a revolution in Mexico.

That's what they're afraid of." If Mexico were really a friend of the U.S., Rodriguez contends, then Mexico would use its wealth to take care of its own people instead of pawning them off on the U.S.
