John, I'm of the opinion that the GOP lost a very big opportunity right after 9-11 to get on the "right side" of this issue. It was a gift horse....and they looked it in the mouth.

Best FRegards,

"Nothing I am talking about makes anyone "a criminal."

True, however we are dealing with a very corrupt government. Mexico definitely would not agree with this.

My solution would be to put a tax or fee on the money going into Mexico via remittances before Fox does. This would discourage the illegals from sending it home. Therefore, this money would be spent in the US to help our economy. Also, some of the illegals would take the money home and stay.

However, I really think our country is gone. I don't think either government is going to do anything to stop this invasion. Bush certainly isn't going to stop it.

However, not all has been lost. Look at how much we got going into Mexico yesterday. It took 12 hours to count!

This is a basic, public policy choice that Congress has, so far, avoided making.

      Have to disagree.  Congress has repeated made the choice - the wrong one, of course.

Darn! A mean trick-now we may never know something really exciting.

Transit Security Fee for immigrants-about $100,000 per. reduced for those with degrees, jobs & passing serious background check.

<< We cannot continue to have it both ways -- cheap foreign goods without limit, plus protection of American jobs. >>

Who are you to call yourself "we?" Are you related per chance to Al-qaeda "Sonny" Goreleone and but another in a long line of dangerous dullards? Or are you simply keen to give poor America yet another example of the adage that states "the power lust is a noxious weed that florishes only in the vacant lot of empty minds?"

"Protection of American jobs" is one of totalitarian fascisocialism's tiredest of the tired clich?s.

What on Earth happened to you [And to trade Luddites like the once seemingly quite bright pj buchanan] to cause you to feel yourself competent either to dictate who must do what work -- and where -- and to dictate who should pay how much and to whom and for what.

Please stick with the lighthearted -- the lightheaded doesn't become you.

And God forbid that you ever be given or take upon yourself the power to impose your well motivated but mindless and un-thought-through "selective" totalitarianism on FRee Americans. You will not, thank God, be ever permitted to other than delude yourself about the outcome of YOUR "special and different" Shop only here! and Work only there! and Only at that job! dictatorship -- but in case you ever wonder what would have been the outcome?

Think of the Soviet Union.

And please stick with making us laugh.

Wow! What an ill-informed rant.

Do you consider Alexander Hamilton a "sociofascist"? He was the first American official to discuss the kinds of ideas I raised in his (relatively) famous treatis "On Manufactures." Perhaps you've heard of it. If not, I suggest you do your homework.

As you may have noted from another thread on FR, Rush Limbaugh found my analysis to be "brilliant." I suppose that makes him a "sociofascist" as well? Get a grip.

I can understand your Pavlovian slavering about Pat Buchanan and Al Gore. I agree with both points, that neither should get near the White House without a Visitor's Pass. However, you are dead wrong to lump me in with those two opposite yet similar wackos.

Have a nice day.
