We should only allow them in after they become the 51st state. They would have to pay taxes and serve in the military just like other Americans.

Creel also denounced an Arizona ballot measure — approved by voters in November — that limits government services for illegal immigrants.

If he knew what was good for his cause he would shut up about it. He is only fueling the fire, the twit.

On what basis does Mexico apply ANY pressure or make ANY demands about anything?

To do either is to interfere in the internal affairs of the US, something that, if any other country tried, would be met with a more than frosty response. And, yet, in Mexico's case we actually listen and some try to act on such outrageous interference.

What deal? They already have a sweet deal, they get our frigging jobs, get our tax payer paid ER medical help, our schools and even our universities, while Mexico gets taxes off of the money they send back. What the hell more do they want? Why can't they turn their own sewer into a real nation? Even with all that oil?

You want the world's oldest socialist nation as a state? (more like 5 or 6 states). Boy, wait till they vote to start nationalizing things, just like home.

Would you really want Fox to be President, or more precisely, "el Presidente?"

My question is what are they going to give us for this? Seems like they've got a lot of gall asking for this favor when they won't even extradite murderers for trial in the US.

They must really believe that crap about our economy resting on the illegals' shoulders.

Notice how this little tidbit gets backstage billing?

Ridge, for his part, said an immigration agreement was a "high priority" for President Bush (news - web sites) in his second term, but added that a temporary worker program would be an uphill battle in Congress without provisions for stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

He emphasized that the United States would reject any amnesty proposal for Mexicans who are living in the United States illegally or any plan that gives priority to temporary workers when they apply for permanent residency.

Mexico; remember your game in the security council reference immigration? Yes, you tried to black mail us using Iraq as leverage. Either we loosen up on the boarder or you’ll veto the Iraq resolution.

You blew your wad. Go crawl back into your corner; you creep.

I can’t believe this guy has the audacity to still mention this! I have an idea. How about we move the boarder 20 miles South.

Well, he just might be "lying", but his lips are moving all around reality...

I guess that's why he's being replaced in February....;-)

Ridge said other states were unlikely to follow Arizona's lead if the United States introduces a program for temporary workers.

Wanna bet Tom?

I don't know why, but I was just struck by all of the latest trend at providing all the rights of citizenship to visitors. How long will it be before good ol' longtime American citizens figure out that they can denounce their citizenships, and continue to live and work exactly as they are. I mean, why remain a citizen when it just means you get drafted, have to pay taxes, jury duty, etc? Maybe it will lead to a surge in applications by Americans to become Mexican citizens so they can continue to live in America without all the responsibilities of citizenship???

They also get to come here and work, and enjoy freedom while our kids are over in middle east fighting. Makes me so mad
