Hillary can say whatever she wants, mhx. And move wherever she wants. Left. Right. Center. It doesn't matter.
There are still far too many people in those pesky red "fly-over" states who despise Hillary and her constantly "re-invented" and re-packaged Liberal/Marxist/Leninist claptrap than supposedly "adore" her.
She can run in 2008 if she wants. She'll just get creamed worse than Kerry did a few weeks ago.
Jack.
This will piss off just about everybody here but there is a higher truth that the real powers that be understand. We live in a welfare state and it more or less works. Our real competition on this planet is China and we at least have to keep up with them. The only way for that to happen is if we make Mexico defacto part of the US. So it takes a generation or two to re-educate them. We have no alternative. There are only 60 million of them down there. We can absorb them all and in one generation their birthrate will be as flat as ours is now. That's what prosperity does for you. Makes you selfish and unwilling to surrender your life to raise six kids.
Mexico is a wealthy land. Oil and minerals. Workers. As the world becomes more and more one big capitalistic playground ... lines on maps just don't mean that much. If we are worried about losing our culture (and I ask WHAT culture) then we will just have to work hard to preserve it (whatever IT is).
You can bitch about this until hell freezes over. It will do absolutely no good. I say if you can't beat em ... join em. I've always gotten along ok with Mexican Mexicans. It's the American Mexicans that give me the most grief. We just need to close up the black market and make sure that everyone pays their taxes and all employers pay into FICA.
It's like income tax. Sure it stinks but its not a total failure. The Italians have a saying. You must arrange yourself. Work the system.
