I thought you all might want to read this article that appeared in today's San Diego Union Tribune. What a way to get your blood boiling before that first cup of coffee.

"Migrants exploiting border law for non-Mexicans"
snip
>>McALLEN, Texas – In the silvery-blue light of dusk, 20 Brazilians glided across the Rio Grande in rubber rafts propelled by Mexican smugglers who leaned forward and breast-stroked through the gentle current.
Once on the U.S. side, the Brazilians scrambled ashore and started looking for the Border Patrol. Their quick and well-rehearsed surrender was part of a growing trend that is demoralizing the Border Patrol and beckoning a rising number of illegal immigrants from countries beyond Mexico. <<
