The neo-isolationists that fill the far right of the Conservative movement, fanned on by certain insincere radio hosts, have become so exorcised by Mexico that the issue is close to eclipsing the GWOT; the Global War On Terror.
The gnashing of teeth and wearing of sackcloth has, for some, reached such a fever pitch that no other issue is important to them. They are fixated on the fact that Mexico is the most dangerous thing the USA faces in the 21st century, that Mexico will destroy our culture, or destroy our economy. And this as we prosecute a war, yet.
Of course, we have major problems with our nearest neighbor to the south. We have rampant illegal crossings, drug smuggling with impunity and a loss of a large block of our economy as Mexicans send US dollars home to Mexico instead of spending it here.
But a little perspective would be nice because Mexico isnt the most imminent danger the USA faces in the neighborhood. Canada is more of an immediate threat to our security by far than is Mexico.

"If you believe that Snowyman perhaps you should visit one of those marches"
Hey, You're the one that said
" I was thinking of those pictures posted of a certain street march in Toronto."
Not I .
You like to extol the virtues of Australia, here's your chance . Sidney Australia best Queer parade in the world. These Queers said it was and they know cause their queer .

They said , and the only reason I quote them is so you can puff out your chest a wee bit ,( hopefully not naked chest ), (hopefully not while your thinking of those pictures) after all this is your native land we're talking about here,
"If the Sydney, Australia Gay Mardi Gras Parade is the largest and best in the world and rates as number ten, Toronto must be a two. It looks like a big rummage sale marching down the street. Toronto should take a leaf out of the Sydney parade organizing and have everyone in costumes."
Just wondering what costume you would wear ? How bout a Top Hat ? Too High Tory for you?
Try a stetson .
You are very presumptious Snowyman. You know nothing about me. I could be a World War 1 vet getting around in a wheel chair. You don't know. However, at least the Aussies hold their Mardi Gras after dark after the kids are tucked away in bed. It didn't look like that to me in the pictures taken in Toronto.
How about we try the Boer War.
Nope. Doesn't work either.
Too bad.
