I am getting such a kick out of hearing all these folks with their drawers in a knot about illegal immigration. Coming from the Lone Star State, hispanic culture was just a part of the way of life in my town. The Penas and Ortegons were die hard Cowboys and Astros fans. My friends and I would trek out to the all-night Mexican cafes, gritar with the Tejano bands, make a run for the Border and visit Boy's Town on the weekends.

Do the borders need to be controlled. Sure. Handling immigration is a related by different issue entirely. To seek the destruction of W over this is simply absurd. The thought of allowing that crazy dude from Vermont near the White House is mind boggling.

It's amazing. I worked 110 degree Texas summers in warehouses while growing up with Mexicans (illegal, legal, whatever). They were not only great people that busted their butts and loved being in America, but they were a total blast to work with. Solid people, and if California doesn't want theirs, they can send them our way, b/c Texas Hispanics are voting almost 40/60 GOP and moving even more to the right as they become integrated. But then again I've never heard many Texans taling about how our society is about to collapse b/c the guys mowing the fairways over at the course can't speak English. What a joke.
