Maybe you're not a DU infiltrator, but you're doing the job of one.

Facts: There have been millions of Mexicanos that have crossed into the U.S. illegally. They have had untold millions of children right here in the good ol' U.S.A. They have also married and had children with other natural born U.S. citizens.

Guess what HennepinPrisoner? Anybody born within the U.S.A. is an American citizen, whether they speak English or not. IOW, there are millions of Americans with all the rights of any other citizen who don't speak English.

So called Repubs may want to ignore those facts while Dems pander to them. Who do you think they're going to vote for generation after generation?

You may know as much about Mexican immigration as you do about the moon. It's a big sucker, but you've never been close enough to it to explore it except to know it's there and a few things you've been told about it. What if what you've been told is wrong, at least part of it...?

Personally, I'm very glad GWB isn't ignoring those who immigrated from Mexico. Like it or not, they're a big, and growing, part of the American melting pot.

Like it or not, that's the way it is.

I'm all for controlling our borders and stopping illegal immigration, but that's quite a different problem from recognizing those who are here and are quite legal despite not speaking English.

Really? Gosh, I didn't know that.

whether they speak English or not.

The infiltration and mainstreaming of the Spanish language was due to the fact that illegals have moved over here and clustered in ghettos where only Spanish is spoken.

You can thank the 1986 amnesty for that one.

I lived in Houston for 25 of my 34 years....I am well qualified to talk about the effects that illegal immigration throughout the 80s and 90s has had on property values, jobs, and the general cleanliness of the city.

If it were a true "melting" pot, they would be learning English rather than demanding bilingual education and demanding government services be available in Spanish.

Like it or not, that's the way it is.

I Don't like it and I won't accept that that is the way it has to be.

see prior comment about 1986 amnesty.

Well right there your position on this issue and George Bush's position are diametrically opposed. George Bush, in case you didn’t know, is 100% FOR Illegal Immigration while you claim to be against it.

If there was any doubt about Bush’s “feelings” on Illegal Immigration he removed it when he uttered his famous "Family Values Don't Stop at the Rio Grande" line during a speech before a largely Hispanic audience two years ago. A comment that was followed up by his insight that: “When [paraphrasing here] Someone South of the Border who has a family to raise sees a guy in Pittsburgh making 15 dollars an hour and he is only making 1 dollar an hour you better believe that that person will want to come to Pittsburgh and get that job”. Bush said this in a context that left little question that he thought there is nothing wrong with Mexicans (others) entering America Illegally. That this was all very natural and that he sympathized with their cause.

If you think I’m wrong on this you have to ask yourself why is it that even after 911 Bush continues to leave our Borders Wide Open to the Mexican Invasion while our immigration laws go purposely unenforced.
