Why is this not being done in Mexico? One of our embassies has released a well-produced video warning the locals not to try to work illegally in the United States. It includes testimonials from people who got burned by unscrupulous employers and by their own greed and stupidity. It also features an agent from the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security warning, in a friendly but unequivocal way, of the dire consequences facing those who try to game immigration and visa laws, including a lifetime bar from visiting the U.S.
That’s right, the administration is finally cracking down and warning violators of the consequences (while also trying to protect them). Where’s this embassy, you wonder. Get ready for it: Israel.
Yes, the U.S. embassy in Israel released a video just three weeks ago warning Jewish residents to mind their immigration manners before they try anything shady regarding work and business visas www.theblaze.com/stories/u-s-embassy-releases-video-taking-tough-immigration-stance-on-jews/ |

Why is this not being done in Mexico?... 1. Are you sure no similar video exists for Mexico and other countries? 2. How do you propose the US get it viewed by those Mexicans sneaking across the border? |

My guess is that our embassies do warn Mexicans that illegal entry into the United States is a violation of our International Laws but they could care less...and of course the Hispanic Democratic Caucus in Sacramento CA has a lot of influence and is pushing for more so called sanctuary cities in California..

You want to give the US government $3.5 million in taxpayer cash... to create and distribute a video instructing Mexicans not to immigrate illegally?  |

Keeping out Mexicans is more important than any deficit.

They are even lower than MSNBC's The Ed Show. |

My understanding is that the two goals are one and the same.
But in terms of effectiveness, we might as well make a video instructing people not to smoke marijuana. Or a video instructing Americans to never drive over the speed limit.

<<<<<<Why isn't this done oin Mexico?>>>>>>>>
Probably because the Mexican government enjoys the billions of dollars that flow from its illegals in the US and would do whatever it would take to prevent any such "anti-immigration" interference with their cash cow.
