Glenn Beck: Mexico Should Compensate US for Cost of Illegals (Wizbang)

This is a good idea actually. If the Mexican government is going out of its way to make sure their citizens successfully sneak into this country illegally, then it should foot the bill for these folks when they're caught and incarcerated. Glenn Beck discussed his idea on his show last night. Here's the transcript:

BECK: I hate to end your night this way, because I know you`ve had a tough day. I`ve got a story that is so disturbing on so many levels.

It starts with a woman. Her name is Nicole Uribe-Lopez. She`s a Mexican mother who was in this country illegally.

Then there`s also a Colorado couple. They were all arrested Tuesday for the alleged sale of a 5-month-old baby boy. The illegal immigrant reportedly sold the baby to the couple for $1,500. Then she used $500 of that as a down payment on a car. The child is now in custody of the Department of Social Services.

Here`s the point tonight. Let me speak right directly to Mexico. Hey, Mexico, America has enough home-grown scum bags. We don`t need any of yours coming here illegally.

I am sick and tired of sending illegals back to Mexico when you know they`re just going to come in again, sometimes with the help of the Mexican government, over and over. I mean, it`s the definition of insanity.

I suggest a new tack. We incarcerate those people here and, Mexico, we`re going to start sending you the bill.

Here`s how I got there. Story of this mom is sad. It is tragic. It is despicable. She says she left Mexico for a better life here. Start the violins. She left her children behind just to come here to make some money for them to live. That`s what she says.

Now, I don`t want to judge her on that. Maybe all of that is true. But somewhere along the way her story went horribly awry. And she`s making it with some guy. She gets pregnant, which is always a great idea for any struggling single mother.

And then she decides, hey, you know, I need a new car. I mean, why not sell my newborn baby for 10 grand?

Of course this poor, young, Hispanic woman was taken advantage by an evil couple, who bargained her down to $1,500 before they got caught. We`re not even sure about their immigration status. But why would that surprise anyone? Nobody knows who`s in our country anymore.

Yes, it`s just another tender and lovely story which should end with all of them in jail for a very long time. Baby selling is a felony, and it`s one law, fortunately for us, at least at this point our leaders have decided to enforce.

I am so tired of hearing about the poor people trying to make ends meet. That excuse, I`m done with it. Look, if you`re poor and you want to come here, we welcome you. Just do it the right way. Come through the front door.

But if you`re somebody who wants to sneak in here illegally, work some, have sex some, have babies a little, and then sell them a lot, sorry, all full up.

Trust me, there are plenty of scum bags who were born and bred here. We really don`t need anymore scum bags, thanks.

Right on, Glenn.

I don't know about President, but in charge of the Border Patrol for sure. Just wait until the lefties weigh in on this. Poor down trodden illegals, they need our help. RIGHT, the only help they need is to go back south.

My congress critter here in WA won't reply to any emails I have sent him about the illegals. None of my Senator's will either. The cost of the taxpayers in this country for taking care of the illegals are very very high. Hospitals, schools, crime, traffic accidents, expense for printing forms in other than our language is mind straggling.

I also can understand them coming here to better their lives, but do it legal. If the shoes were reversed, we would be doing the same thing, and the way this country is headed, it may happen.

Now that brush is so large I don't rightly think you can actually handle it! or was he referring to Nagin "do nothing"? Or maybe the kind poor folk that had to be thrown out of the Superdome before it too was as trashed as the hoods they came from? Or maybe to those that are back now killing themselves off at 8-15 a week?

Naw he musta been referring to all of the those that were victims long before Katrina arrived and remain super victims today, long after she has gone!

You would think so, but since most folks who make under $30K a year DON'T PAY ANY federal income tax, things would not change much. But then again, the border would be much shorter and easier to control.
