Mexicans who toiled on U.S. farms between 1942 and 1964 under the Bracero program are ready to "besiege" U.S. President George W. Bush's ranch in Texas to press their demands for money owed them in their retirement, an activist who fought with Nicaragua's Sandinista rebels said Tuesday.
José Puente León told EFE that the former braceros are determined to march on Bush's ranch just as they did last year on the ranch owned by President Vicente Fox in Guanajuato.

Of course....
The Mexicans are looking for $$ from us..
The "African Americans" are looking for slave retributions.
We don't give enough $$ to the UN or to the Tsunami victims...
Word to those who hate us...
Shut up and go away.
Do they need volunteers to shoot these scum once they 'siege' the ranch?
Hey I think it only fair. Bush is inviting them in on our doorstep. Only fair that they should show up on his. Viva Immigration Reform (sarcasm)
I'll believe it when it happens.
All the world has it's hand out and it is the hard working American Citizen they expect to fill it. I am really getting tired of doing that.
Its very sad to think that may be the only thing that would get his attention, cause him enough embarassment to finally do something about these swarms.
From the article:
"The Bracero program, created in response to a shortage of farm labor in the United States during World War II, allowed Mexicans to enter the country and work in the fields. Ten percent of the braceros' pay was withheld and deposited in savings accounts for return to the workers when they went back to Mexico.
According to U.S. officials, the deductions were deposited in the Banco de Mexico, which transferred the funds to the institution formerly known as Banco Agricola and now called Financiera Rural.
Puente León, who advises the Braceroproa group that advocates on behalf of the former farmhands, says the payments are due to some 90,000 workers or, where applicable, to their heirs."
Hey, Puente! Guess what my "heirs" get from my retirement-SSA- when I die...$255 to bury me! That's it....
Stay in your own country and find out what happened to the money you were to get!
Can you imagine what kind of can of worms we are opening signing this new totalization agreement with Mexico. They'll have the money "lost" in 6 months!
I bet I know how this seige ends and it will solve the retirement problem as well.
