The Mexican border issue has many facets: oil deposits, China's largess in our backyard, Hispanic votes, the Bible, inexpensive labor, grassroots vs. top down. I'm not judging Bush harshly on it yet, as I suspect he's got some powerful resources focusing on the larger picture...

Agreed. There is also one other aspect of the border issue that I find troubling. When the term "illegal immigrant" is used, does it usually mean anything but Mexican? If people want to bash President Bush over the border issue, they should be focusing more on his willingness to even speak to Vincente Fox than some half-starved, desperate peon trying to sneak in here. That peon is only one of millions who being forced to flee their homeland and families out of sheer self-preservation. Think the planned British genocide of the Irish during the bogus "famine". Millions starved to death, and millions fled to America, Australia, and other countries. The plan worked beautifully, as the British annexed a nearly empty country. And the fighting there continues to this day. Vincente Fox is doing the same thing to his own people. Like Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim jong Il. Why is Fox accorded any respect at all?

Leader to leader, I wish President Bush would punch that murderous thug right in the nose at some press conference. Then, have him arrested and charged with the deaths of all those people who have been killed by illegal entry.

Fox's answer to American outrage over the tidal wave of desperate people trying to escape from their own country is a comic book, which gives helpful hints on how to break American laws. Desperate people are dangerous people, and there is no easy answer here. The Minutemen have proven in spades that this problem can be managed. Until the leaders of Mexico are held accountable for their crimes against their own people, nothing is going to change.
