Shush now, don't you know that "every thing possible is being done to protect you"? The border situtation is surreal. And it's not because the Republican politicians are pandering to the desire of business for cheap labor.
There has to be a darker and more sinister reason, common sense dictates that there has to be.

My town is now about 50% Mexican, up from about 25% 10 years ago. They are not becoming "Americanized", they are bringing Mexico to America. Why do I say this?
Because I've noticed that in most cases they speak English only when they need to. A group of teenagers at a restaurant will carry on a lively conversation in Spanish until the waitress comes to the table. They each order in perfect English, showing that they grew up in America. When the waitress leaves they resume using Spanish. It's a political and cultural thing to them.
Problem is, it's not American politics or culture.

Our President's comment today:
Bill Sammon of Washington Times:
Q In that case, sir, can I follow up on something unrelated? (Laughter.) Tom Ridge recently seemed to discuss something you had talked about pre-9/11, and that is finding a way to legalize some of the illegal immigrants in this country. Could you clarify your policy, what it is, short of blanket amnesty?
THE PRESIDENT: {{{Well, first of all, I have constantly said that we need to have a immigration policy that helps match any willing employer with any willing employee.}}}
It makes sense that that policy go forward. And we're in the process of working that through now so I can make a recommendation to the Congress.
Note: Rush just said someone claims Osama is in Florida ;)
