I have a question for you...and while I have to take off for a bit, I am very interested in your answer.

It seems to me, that the better the Mexican economy, the more likely the illegals are to stay home. Your beef would be with American producers that hire illegals.

So, your regarding your boycott—doesn't it make more sense to boycott American produce? However, that flies in the face of those who don't want outsourcing...so perhaps that's the issue.

In any case, I'm just trying to get a grasp of where you are coming from on this. (I understand the puppies. ; ) )

I am sick and tired of the arrogance of the third-world dirtbag Mexican government and their occupying army here in the states. I am sick and tired of our politicians; the demonrats are an anti-American 5th column and the Repub's in the Senate are gutless wonders who could care less about those, like us here on FR, who got them to where they are.

You are still trying to find constructive and mature reactions responses and are hoping to find reasonable solutions to the problem, and I commend you in this. The Mexican government is so corrupt that no matter how much their economy improves, there will be little trickle down and the illegals will still keep trying to make it here.

I, on the other hand, am older and more cynical. I see no way out of the problem. Our politicians will betray us, the media will aid and abet this, and ultimately there will probably be something resembling a civil was in this country.

So, I'm just trying to throw a monkey wrench in wherever I can.

Besides, having spent a lot of my life in third-world countries, I can assure you that their ideas regarding hygiene are considerably different from ours. So it is partly out of health concerns that I will buy no produce grown in third-world countries.
