Isn't it interesting that we're expending so much in terms of life, resources, and money in order to bring democracy to Iraq. I don't think any reasonable person would deny Operation Iraqi Freedom must be done. But while we're at it, why can't we do something about the lack of democracy south of the border? If Mexico had an economic system that worked, we wouldn't have so many people jumping the border.

In the meantime, we need to close the borders and cut off the gravy train to all illegals. We're losing our country. California is already gone. If the GOP does nothing about this serious problem in the next two years, they can forget about retaining the White House in 2008. Faithful Republicans who came out and voted in droves and even worked hard on campaigns this year won't even bother to show up in 2006 and 2008.

If the Republicans insist on this insane policy of allowing illegal immigration, staying home may be the only option we have in the 2006 and 2008 elections. Maybe then they'll finally get the message, but I sincerely doubt it.

there is the root cause of the problem.

And I hope someone tells me that Mexico will be harder than Iraq. The Mexicans will dance in the street if we do happen to go in there...

I suspect that's how it's going to work.

I mentioned that once on one of these threads and the hateful types took great pleasure in mocking me for my intelligent and spot on observation (of course, the cretins interpreted I meant a snap of the fingers and voila all would be changed. These types are idiots of the highest order who can't think, IMO).
