ORLANDO, Fla.--In the aftermath of 9/11, conservatives bottled up their frustrations over some of President Bush's policies. Then they muted their criticism during the presidential campaign. But now it is spilling out in all directions--and the White House had better pay attention.
On Friday Rush Limbaugh, a staunch Bush supporter, took two separate opportunities to warn the president that he faced conservative opposition on some key issues that could hurt his chances of passing the rest of his second-term agenda. First was federal spending, which "is surging out of control," according to the Heritage Foundation's new "Mandate for Leadership." The other was immigration, which, Mr. Limbaugh told his listeners, "could break up the Republican-conservative coalition" à la Ross Perot. "We cannot maintain our sovereignty without securing and protecting our borders in an era where terrorists around the world seek entry to this country," he said.

NO. I am saying it is not as simple as just complaining and saying, "Somebody do something!" There are many things we can do but it is not as if that is all that W has on his plate. Closing the borders requires manpower we don't have at the moment. Finding and collecting all illegals is not easy and we don't have the manpower, the places to put them, INS is not geared for processing them, and to top it off Fox resists allowing them to be sent back to Mexico. He is trying to get rid of them. Many will return while we are looking for the others.
It is not a simple problem to solve.
Also there is no evidence --- none whatsoever --- that massive uncontrolled immigration to the USA is doing Mexico and the Mexicans left behind a single bit of good. The country is going down the tubes quite fast --- and massive immigration is much of the reason.
Yes, it went insane under Clinton. Who could ever forget the scandals under "Meisner". However, in re the "voting" numbers -- it is also about other numbers: "X million people without healthcare, X million need more educational services, X million need decent housing".. the Democrat Platform.
Let's ALL Move to Mexico!
Let's go to Mexico. Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc.
Procreate abundantly.
Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural United States thing. You would not understand, pal."
Keep your American identity strong.
Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or, on your car bumper.
Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico.
Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.
Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world... Except right here... Land of the naive.

Well, apparently our complaining is starting to be heard. I am not giving up/in like you want us to.
Your attempt to read my mind failed. As I said, something must be done about this and I am sure it will be. I agree that all the complaining has helped but the point of my message was that much thought, money, and effort must go into it and that can't be done overnight. Just screaming won't get it done.
"Well, when you get right down to it: illegals ARE fleeing Mexico, no matter their reason. I think what describes the "angry" part (and rightfully so, I'm there too) of blasting away about "illegals" is described below. What angers me is the "activism" part. Mind you; I've not a problem with anyone loving their country of origin, whatsoever. What I'm referring to is the type of "activism" routinely witnessed and displayed in CA Dem legislators and LaMecha-type representatives. The following is entitled: Let's All Move to Mexico."
Part of the truth is Mexico is a police state serving its ruling Euro-elite (and Gringo-elite). I wouldn't doubt the Federales sponsor the "coyotes" because Mexican *peasants* (circa 60% of the pop)are an expendable commodity. The ONLY solution, to my thinking, is to charge Mexico's government for all costs involved with illegal immigrant problems including all costs to fund superior border controls. Bush is chicken about this serious issue. Bush is foolishly naive to think that establishing some US industries in Mexico will improve employment opportunities for the "peasants." The Mexican government/ruling elite's self-serving interests are Euro-elite nepotic as hell. Small wonder that pro-Trotsky factions continue to roil successfully there. It is rather ironic that the Diego Rivera communist workshops held in Mexico City are attended by WEALTHY and SUCCESSFUL American professionals. (!)
If Mexico's government cannot be responsible for its "peasants" and initiate REAL REFORMS, then they should pay for OUR illegal immigration problems which are considerable burdens on American citizens.

A number of American businesses have fled America due overregulation, overtaxation. Some are in Mexico. The details of why they've left are not too different from the business exodus out of California.
I am not referring to current times. In general terms, I am referrng to Mexico's Euro and Gringo elite (socio/econ) establishment entrenched predating the 20th Century. I think we may be talking about two different social/economic dynamics.
My point is it is Mexico's responsibility to immediately initiate reforms so that its impovished class (@60% of the pop.)can advance their basic conditions and have opportunities to advance.
Mexico operates very much like the old world monarchies where the self-serving priviledged elite maintained the status quo which excluded all others from socio-economic advancement. In other words, 60% of Mexico's population lives today in pre-industrial revolution social repression.
Mexico neglects about 60% of its population and is indifferent if the "peasants" die trying to jump borders. I've said before that I wouldn't doubt that the "coyotes" are Federale operatives.
Mexico deserves harsh censures from the U.N. and other so called Human Rights overseers. U.S. should lead in imposing strict sanctions on Mexico. Mexico's government and ruling elite do not deserve deference from the U.S.
Furthermore, I believe the U.S. should charge Mexico for every cent it spends on border controls and problems related to Mexican illegal immigrants including their health, education and welfare paid for by U.S. taxpaying citizens.
In Mexico, the Trotsky revolutionists are justified. It is plain self-destructive for Mexico, in order to preserve their selfish status quo Euro-elitism, to accommodate communists' justification for agitation, rebellion, bloody insurgencies, unrest and overthrow schemes.
Nevermind the Mexican government's genocidal record because Kofi Annan cannot yet spell-out nor define "genocide."

Good post -- I agree with you.
