"he thinks he can do the same to us"

Well, uh, with Pres Bushs' help he can and will.

In the unlikely event Mexico runs out of people wanting to come to the US, every country South of them will be happy to take up the slack.

Exactly, right now Costa Rica is working on laws to keep out illegal Nicaraguans, who are doing the exact same thing to their country as illegals are doing here...crime, social services, lowered wages, etc...Personally If we have guest workers, I'd prefer Costa Ricans over Mexicans, at least they can speak Castillian Spanish and most want to return home and don't dream of a reconquista...

[subterfuge]

Okay. Sorry.

Fox sounds like a fatally overconfident d*ckhead.
OTOH, he has known how to play our feckless politicos
for years, so why shouldn'/t his rhetoric continue to
work? Everyone is increasingly fonder of quoting demographics, falling or rising birth rates, retirement ages,etc. as being the deciding factors in how policy should be formulated. It makes everything seem more, uh,
"scientific".

"guest worker" program.......

does this mean we're going to have to leave
millions of "guest soaps" and "guest towels" out?

hey dude, pass that doobie over here!

he hadn't been that wasted since the time he promised 6% annual growth in the Mexican economy throughout his term

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Mexicans need a visa to make short tourist trips into the US. Thus if they cross the border at a legal check point and go through the proper procedure, they aren't "illegal Mexican shoppers" unless they overstay their visit.

they do need a visa, one called a Border Crossing Card. It allows them to visit areas within 25 miles of the border, and they can stay in that area for 30 days in a row before they have to go back to Mexico. If they pay $6, they get a permit which allows them to travel nationwide and stay for several months. It allows for unlimited crossing privileges, and has a 10-year duration. This is the card that most "legal" (those who crossed legally, but overstayed) illegals have, and 11 million of them have been issued over the last 10 years to Mexicans.

the US will triumph by having working age people when Europe does not.

Right, working age people with seventh grade educations. A lot of good that's going to do!

[panthermom]

Doesn't the sheer gall of these people blow you away? Between the protests here and the stuff that comes out of that idiots mouth, its mindboggling!!! Their total lack of class is just another reason they don't belong here.
