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.

Wonder if they know that they don't actually grow or raise anything on Bush's ranch?

They better think hard about this one. Shoot to kill trespassers is not a joke.

Looks like they will get their money in the form of free room and board in prison.

We ought to tell the ex-braceros that we will get on with the investigation as to what happened to the deposits to the Banco de Mexico... as soon as we finish with the UN Oil-For-Food investigation.
To: KiloLima
They should call my ex-Senator Max Cleland for some advise on storming the ranch before they head out.

Hope they don't show up at Ted Nugent's place by mistake.

Skeet targets, definitely a job no U.S. worker wants. Bush's immigration plan in action!!
To: KiloLima
Well, maybe it's time this problem was in the President's back yard instead of the rest of us. He may find that some "family values" do stop at the border.
As for what we owe the Mexicans...Pftttt! Show me a Mexican who owns a chunk of land here --- not his perceived long dead ancestors-- and I'll stand by him to get his land back.
