A demand for Vincente Fox

The Mexican government's feined indignation over the deaths of two 'undocumented migrants', AKA illegal aliens, at the hands of American authorities floats into some kind of etherial state beyond standard gall and hypocrisy:
Mexico demanded on Tuesday that Washington investigate the fatal shooting of another undocumented migrant by U.S. security agents, adding fuel to a smoldering dispute over illegal immigration
Whoa there. We know the migration issue has roots on both sides of the border, and that America needs to stop hiring illegals and start enforcing our existing laws. However, the mere mention we might start enforcing laws or stopping illegal border crossings has already sent Vincente Fox into a twisted tither. Most rational heads of state would welcome such news, at least the ones who understand the concept of a border.

So here's my proposed 'demand' to Mr. Fox:

Sir, before you make any more demands of our government, try controlling your own damn border crossings. Get off your butt and create decent jobs for your people. While you're at it, clean up the corruption within your own ranks. Do these things, el Presidente, and the problem might just get better. After that, feel free to drop by and chat. When you come, please make sure you cross at a designed point and possess the proper documentation, or you will be arrested. If you need a helpful guide, contact the INS. Thank you for your cooperation.
