I was working at a Port of Entry on and after September 11th, as a contractor- not LE. The citizens of Mexico crossing the border for the most part had an attitude of "So What" When increased security measures were enacted that day and afterward, they acted like it was just an inconvenience to them, and the events of 9/11 were just not a big deal. Very few showed any understanding or compassion about what had happened in our country. So much for our "friendly neighbors" who needs friends like that? Mexico has for so long been focused on what the US can and should do for them- it's past time we need to do what is best for our citizens and our own country.

He he he!! Econ_grad. He was fun!! The mods let me play with him for a while -- considered it an EXCELLENT birthday present! LOL

The vast majority of illegal immigrants (and, technically speaking, their American-born and therefore U.S. Citizen children) who commit no other crime.

I don't know if working without authorization is a crime, but it is against the law. There's one may-be crime. And they get work by falsifying ID or flat-out identity theft, which is a crime. How many other crimes are you willing to overlook just because they are your Mexican brothers and sisters?

[Pa' fuera]

Nah, Bayourod was just a GOP shill. For this one its clearly more of a personal thing.

this one's a PAN, PRI or PRD shill, perhaps

[Tammy8]

Exactly right!!

And about that law that makes the babies born here automatic citizens- it needs changing!! The sooner the better.

[janetgreen]

Janet might want to temper that a little bit - she wouldn't want to offend the people of Tijuana by saying their city looks like Santa Ana

Hereafter I'll refer to TJ and SA as "the twin cities"... :^)

I don't know when we were friendly neighbors, although Presidents Fox and Bush continue to say that we are. The Mexicans have hated us ever since we bought their land. I must have missed the big love-in that patched things up.

Good luck with that boycott. You should march in the protest march too. If you do tell Mecha and La Raza Mthom said "Hola".

I believe this was shot down when they were crafting the Sensenbrenner bill. Too bad (for now).

now you've offended Minneapolis/Saint Paul. First rule when you're in a hole: stop digging. LOL!!

[janetgreen]

Uh oh, I'm getting myself in deep sh** here! I am just so politically incorrect I can't help myself, hehehe.

I don't see it as a given that deporting the helots would create a recession. What is more likely is that aspects of the economy which cannot be profitably undertaken here will go elsewhere, adjusting to the availability of labor. In the meantime, the US would be free of the costs of hosting the alien population, which should go a long way to offset our expenses in getting it done. And if we truly needed more foreign labor here then we could adjust the immigration laws to allow it.

In a free country it is the right of the people to make those decisions, they should not be taken from us by renegade public officeholders. The decisions we have already made are what makes the illegals illegal in the first place, and failing to enforce those laws strips Americans of their suffrage.

[ArmstedFragg]

Yep, "Larry's" his real name. There seems to be a long history of hispanic activists adopting names that sound more 'hispanic' when it's to their political advantage to do so. For example, Loretta Sanchez deciding to run for office under her maiden name. Matter of fact, that was Larry's organization that was examined in the investigation over those non-citizen voters during Loretta's first race.

[kellynla]

yea, I remember the Dornan/Sanchez fiasco...
I lived in the district at the time...
and I remember she, her husband and family actually lived in P.V. in L.A. but she rented an apartment in the district so she could claim "residency." I wonder if they ever actually moved down here or if she just keeps an apartment here and still lives with her family in P.V.

!) Most Chinese learn to read and write English better than most Americans.

2) Chinese immigrants do not as a rule sponge on social services.

3) Chinese immigrants do not overstuff our prisons with violent crime.

"Nativo Lopez said if the plans are enacted he will ask Latinos to refuse to cooperate with Costa Mesa police through a campaign of "non-confidence and silence," will launch a boycott of businesses within the city..."

My wife and I drive through the barrio area of Costa Mesa, somewhat often. Many of these immigrants walk to do their shopping.

If they are indeed to boycott businesses, they gonna walk several miles. Which I very much doubt.

ROTF ~ Bump!

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep


Doo Dooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Pelham]

Nativo and his hermano homeboys are boycotting Costa Mesa?
Aiiii chihuahua!! Sounds like a good time to move there.

[StarCMC]

That composting takes a lot out of a person. LOL!!
