President Trump marked Cinco de Mayo on Saturday by hailing “the significant contributions of Mexican Americans to the United States.”
“Today, we honor the heritage of our neighbors to the south, and we celebrate the significant contributions of Mexican Americans to the United States,” Trump said in a statement. The statement also went on to recount the Battle of Puebla, the 1862 confrontation between the Mexican Army and the French Empire that Cinco De Mayo memorializes. “Though they were outnumbered and facing one of the strongest militaries in the world, the determined Mexican soldiers overcame the French force and proved their place in history as valiant defenders of Mexico’s liberty and right to self-government,” Trump said. “Melania joins me in sending our best wishes for an enjoyable day. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!”
The statement echoed Trump’s comments last year when he said that the U.S. honored “the Mexican-Americans whose fighting spirit and patriotism have been influential in shaping the character of our great Nation.”
But today for Cinco de Mayo Donald Trump Jr. decided to start the day off by ruffling a few liberal feathers by calling attention to the second anniversary of his favorite tweet his father has ever sent.
Liberals continue to tout that President Trump has a controversial record on Mexico and people of Mexican heritage. They whine that he launched his presidential campaign in 2016 by accusing Mexico of “sending people that have lots of problems” to the U.S. and has repeatedly vowed to build a border wall between the two nations, not unlike the one Mexico has on its southern border. But they conveniently always forget to mention that the statistics actually back up his claims and even Mexico has a tough immigration policy. One where if you are caught illegally in that nation you are subject to a mandatory two-year prison term before you actually even get deported to whatever nation you snuck in from. But the U.S. is never afforded that luxury, for who knows what reason.
Here is more on Mexico’s immigration laws via The Washington Times:
“Mexican President Felipe Calderon denounced as “racial discrimination” an Arizona law giving state and local police the authority to arrest suspected illegal immigrants and vowed to use all means at his disposal to defend Mexican nationals against a law he called a “violation of human rights.”
But the legislation, signed April 23 by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, is similar to Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion — the General Law on Population enacted in Mexico in April 2000, which mandates that federal, local and municipal police cooperate with federal immigration authorities in that country in the arrests of illegal immigrants.
Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.
The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” violate Mexican law, are not “physically or mentally healthy” or lack the “necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents.
“This sounds like the kind of law that a rational nation would have to protect itself against illegal immigrants — that would stop and punish the very people who are violating the law,” said Rep. Steve King of Iowa, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, refugees, border security and international law.
“Why would Mr. Calderon have any objections to an Arizona law that is less draconian than his own, one he has pledged to enforce?” Mr. King said.
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on terrorism and homeland security, described Mr. Calderon’s comments as “hypocritical to say the least.”
“I would have expected more from Mr. Calderon,” said Mr. Kyl, who serves as the Senate minority whip. “We are spending millions of dollars to help Mexico fight the drug cartels that pose a threat to his government, and he doesn’t seem to recognize our concerns. He ought to be apologizing to us instead of condemning us.”
