I would love to see those "the hot, dusty ruins." Obviously, the reporter is pissed at being away from home, and shows what a cultural illiterate he is.
Wecome to Free Republic, santorumlite
What are friends for, warchild9, if not a helping hand?
Ah, I knew there would be pictures of them holding hands. Look at Vicente's belt buckle, btw.
I don't.

A New Left Oil Bloc! If Congress ultimately approves a more punitive bill, Mexico's political climate will turn more sour toward the US and that would benefit Lopez Obrador to become the next Mexican president. A Lopez Obrador victory in the Mexican election would signal the ultimate domino falling.
Obrador, Chavez, Lula, Kirchner and Vázquez. If he wins, the administration will then be faced with four left-of-center hemispheric powerhouses: Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. The nightmare scenario for the Bush team would then be Chávez inviting López Obrador and Mexico’s state owned oil company, Pemex, into a cooperative arrangement with the Venezuelan leader’s oil trading bloc, “Petrosur,” which already includes Argentina and, as of March 2, Uruguay. Given that Mexico and Venezuela are two of the U.S.’ top four sources of foreign oil imports (behind Saudi Arabia and Canada), a combined Obrador-Chávez alliance would account for upwards of a quarter of all U.S. petroleum imports. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1606290/posts
Congress makes the laws not Bush?
You make the presidency out to be some monarchy?
If you want the laws changed you should be calling up memberes of the senate and the house?
The power of the presidency is so inflated compared to his true power.
Bush said he would sign sensennbrenner's bill.
Bush is not your enemy. Harry Reid will be the one filibustering a tough border bill.
The problem is not Bush it is Mexico.
Mexico needs to be able to provide better for their citizens. Their citizens need to want to stay there.
Fox's term is up. Hopefully new leadership will keep the citizens there.
Bush inherited this problem with Clinton doing nothing for 8 years.
You are incredibly harsh on Bush.
Illegals have been coming here for decades. You really are a bush hater if you are blaming him for this? You must think the president has some super power where he can reverse the whole economy of mexico where those people would want to stay.
If Tom Tancredo was president we'd still have the same problem with Mexico doing nothing and the dems filibustering any tough bills in congress.
You make the presidency out to be way more powerful than it actually is?
Bush has done as much has he legally could do.
Bush stopped the catch and release for non mexicans.
Dems voted against more detainned beds.
Bush and congress got the rest of the wall in western cal to be built.
Bush and congress has gotten predator drones up in the sky.
New technology at borders like sensors will help.
Bush and congress has gotten 3,000 more border agents down there.
Bush said he would be for the 700 miles of the walls in sensennbrenner's bill which the dems are against because they are making it a race issue and they are against it enviornmentally.
Bush said he would sign a bill from congress cracking down on employers.
What needs to happen is state troopers in states need to be allowed to catch illegals. Tennessee is working on a law like this.
Border state governors need to send their national guard to the border. Arizona dem governor won't. Federal troops are barred by posse comitatus.
Local law enforcement needs to also take a proactive role in this.
To make this Bush's fault is making a complex issue way too simple. Their a lot of players at work here that are outside of Bush's power.
Remember how Clinton used to win and then you could never find anybody that would admit to having voted for him?
Bush's critics are bashing Bush relentlessly with left wing MSM talking points.
It has gotten rediculous.
Yeah lets cheer that Bush has no support and Pelosi is coming to power. Bush haters remind me of the perot supporters.
Bush haters will do great harm to this country.
When Justice Stevens retires and is replaced by some jesse jackson clone thank the bush haters just like we got ginsberg and breyer and abortion on demand and affirmative action because of the perot bush haters.
To quote the Ol' Gunny, "You'd F me up the A without even the common courtesy of a reacharound."
You have to work with these big money people before you can see what their attitude really is. I have (at least with people whose net worth was in the 100,000,000 dollar range--can't say with those with more). You and I and the business-loving bots are cockroaches to these people. Spend time with them, and you'll want a shower.
We got affirmative action in the 1960's because of the Bush haters?
An old American proverb says "Nobody likes a sellout."
How long have you been out of high school?
And are your information sources more diverse than Faux News and Rush Limbaugh?
