Thanks for the reference.

One big problem for me is dual citizenship. That gives the immigrant the ability to not only send money to his hometown -- money he saved by getting taxpayer support here -- but also to elect and influence policy here to help his hometown and home country at the expense of United States citizens -- i.e., real Americans. To wit, "there are increasing signs that some HTAs are getting involved in U.S. politics."

Furthermore, these matters are NOT just happening. They are policies of countries like the corrupt Mexico. To wit, "HTAs have received financial and technical support from the Mexican government through its consular offices." These are "nations without borders."

Inside help? Rudy Giuliani told Hannity (radio) that we need regularization. You see, explained Da Mayor we'd be able to ignore workers coming here and use the border patrol for more productive security matters such as examining luggage and, I believe he included, containers at seaports. Move the border patrol to airports and seaports?!

Well, Giuliani is certainly a security expert. He's being paid mucho dinero by Mexicans for his advice.

Mack McLarty, President of Kissinger McLarty Associates, too. President Bush?

The author of the PBS piece praises HTAs, "Rather than accepting a role as "victims" of globalization, Mexican immigrants in the Midwest have enormous potential to shape the development of transnational mechanisms aimed at meeting the challenges of economic integration in more equitable and democratic ways."

What if real Americans formed HTAs? Wouldn't that answer our critics that we whine about being 'victims' of globalization? And who are those critics? I named a few above. The rest are the corrupt, greedy mainstream of both political parties and "American" businessmen. May the future bring interesting times for them all.

For awhile I kinda felt strongly both ways, even accepting citizenship for ILLEGALS if ENGLISH only and no multi-culti crap. But, I have had me one of them epiphanies.
