I agree with your comments. One of the reasons I am so dead set against illegal immigration is that the illegal immigrant is subject to manipulation and abuse in just about every situation they find themselves in.

From the Coyotes to the employers north of the border to the local gang members who find them easy prey, the illegal is subject to all manner of abuse, unable to defend themselves by use of law enforcement.

I would submit that there are very few real winners when it comes to illegal immigration, including those who origionally think they're going to the promised land north of the border.

El Presidente Fox, his party and the PRI party in Mexico have a lot to answer for. For the whole last century one of them or another screwed their citizens shamelessly.

If we had a half-way decent leader in this nation, he'd put Mexico on notice that the U.S. won't stand by while it invades our territory any longer. For the benefit of US and Mexican citizens, the corrupt leadership must end.

That's on both sides of the border my friends!

Mexico is hopeless, until and unless we mount "Operation Mexican Freedom." But we won't.
