Mayan Priests Say They Will "Purify" Site After Bush Visit

And the insults continue.

GUATEMALA CITY -- Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.
"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday."

What I find hysterical is this entire concept, if you can call it that, of "the persecution of their migrant brothers." Surely they jest. Or perhaps they are just clueless. No other country in the world is as friendly to illegal immigrants as America. We have sanctuary cities where it is against the law to ask someone's immigration status. We rarely prosecute when we do locate. For years "catch and release" was a policy. We give them access to various social programs. We provide healthcare. We give their children American citizenship. We have companies that are launching things like "Pesos for Pizza" where the peso would be accepted currency to appeal and appease. We have corporations offering credit cards witout social security numbers. We have lenders granting special mortgages to illegals. WHAT do they see as persecution? Most countries would lock you up or shoot you dead if you were found to be there illegally but the USA "persecutes?"
