WIAN: Absolutely. It's a very interesting point that you make. The Mexicans are demanding the U.S. government take actions, but it seems that the Mexicans are willing to offer very little in the way of action on their own, and the U.S. isn't demanding much of them on the other side.-snip----

Creel cited Arizona's Proposition 200, which prohibits illegal aliens from receiving state benefits, as incompatible with human rights.
He's joking right!!!
RIDGE: The president of the United States believes that with the help of the Congress, with their working together to create a temporary worker program, that will further enhance security and facilitate the integration of the economies of two great economic partners.
"facilitate the integration of the economies of two great economic partners"....
Mr. Ridge....do you truly believe Mexico is a great economic partner??? And facilitate the "integration" of the two economies....yes boil us down to Mexico's lowest common denominator!
See #4.
Ridge does not live in the real world.
LOL!!
Well, there you have it. Right from the horses mouth, so to speak. The "integration" of the USofA and Mexico.
AND Reagans policy WAS working, until the DUMS got control and stopped it's enforcement. Maybe if states pass a LAW, that any business that hires illegal aliens will lose their business license then we'll see some action.
Yeah, I think Ridge finally let the truth slip.
More on Prop 200:
Dobbs:
The most liberal federal appeals court in the country has rejected a request to block Arizona's Proposition 200, the proposition that's so offends the Mexican government. That law bars illegal aliens from voting or receiving public benefits.
The Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund petitioned the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to stop enforcement of the law. A two-judge panel rejected the petition without ruling on or considering the constitutionality of the law. Proposition 200 in effect. The millions of illegal aliens in this country are adding to the tremendous strain on our health-care system. Emergency health care for illegals cost the United States more than $1 billion every year. In our special report, "Assault on the Middle Class," tonight, rapidly rising health-care costs have forced 45 million Americans to do without even basic health insurance.

I watched Lou Dobbs last night. Thanks for alerting me to that news item.
Selling America down the river, again.
Gompers, Samuel - (founder and pres. of AFL, an immigrant)
"America must not be overwhelmed. Every effort to enact immigration legislation must expect to meet a number of hostile forces and, in particular, two hostile forces of considerable strength. One of these is composed of corporation employers who desire to employ physical strength (broad backs) at the lowest possible wage and who prefer a rapidly revolving labor supply at low wages to a regular supply of American wage earners at fair wages. The other is composed of racial groups in the United States who oppose all restrictive legislation because they want the doors left open for an influx of their countrymen regardless of the menace to the people of their adopted country."

I voted, too. Thanks. But a lot of good that seems to do. Our representatives seem hell-bent on eliminating our borders. I guess one day we will be part of a North American Union.
