The Mexican government is honoring U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy for his defense of immigrant rights. Mexico announced Friday it will award Kennedy the Aguila Azteca, the highest honor the government can bestow on foreign dignitaries.

An announcement on Mexico's federal registry says Kennedy will be presented with a sash in the United States.

Mexico says the Massachusetts Democrat has denounced injustices against migrants and "highlighted the importance of addressing illegal immigration by looking for an integral solution."

Kennedy co-sponsored an immigration reform bill that would boost border security but also create three-year visas for guest workers. The senator was diagnosed with brain cancer in May and has been receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

Mexico hopes you don't recognize that Kennedy's honor addresses the fact that his enormous work for illegal alien migrants helped Mexico develop a subversive foreign force estimated at 12 to 15 million Mexican nationals within America that robs U.S. taxpayers of $346 billion annually per economist Edwin Rubenstein's report in www.thesocialcontract.com

Result: no mention that Kennedy's actions help illegal migrants transfer cash remittances totaling $80 billion out of our country annually. An estimated $24 billion reaches Mexico making it the second largest cash inflow besides oil.

Kennedy is a senator from MA, which means his state and constituents do not have as much of a negative impact as do the border states from illegal immigration. Hope the MA people are happy with this...
