It should be obvious that, for whatever reason, politicians are courting the illegal vote.

Personal experience here is that a good immigrant learns the host language. My in-laws immigrated from Italy in the early 1900s, and they insisted that the kids learn English. My son's in-laws immigrated from Mexico in the '30s, and they did likewise. His wife, whose maiden name was Garcia, knows little or no Spanish. I was stationed in Germany twice...my wife and I both took pains to learn enough of the language to survive on the economy.

We need to get back to that idea, or we may cease to exist. Diversity will divide us and conquer us.

I have been trying to find what went on in Washington yesterday regarding the bi-national meeting. I haven't been able to find anything in the U.S. media yet. However, the Mexican newpapers are reporting it in Spanish.

The Mexicans accused Powell and the US. of treating Mexico like it is the U.S. "backyard". Whine, whine.

Also, in Spanish, Bush meets with Derbez at the White House yesterday and arrange a meeting for Fox and Bush in January.

"It should be obvious that, for whatever reason, politicians are courting the illegal vote." AGREE, AGREE

Also, we will be sending the Peace Corp to Mexico. For whatever reason, I don't understand. I guess it is just a way to funnel money to Mexico.

"Diversity will divide us and conquer us."

That is THE idea! When we are a nation of 180 DIFFERENT nationalities, then one vote in the United Nations to cancel out OUR Constitution and rule North America from the UN Headquarters will go so smoothly even the press won't bother reporting it.
