The Mexicans are unlike previous immigrants. This definitely needs to be read by everyone at least once! It should be linked on pertinent immigration threads. Here's an interesting link about Samuel Huntington:
I can't remember who it was, but someone recently pointed out that the idea that we are "a nation of immigrants" isn't entirely true. America was founded by the descendents of colonists. When someone moves from one part of his country's territory to another, he isn't an immigrant.
Send Mexico our homeless people.
Another excellent piece that should be read by GWB and ALL members of Congress!
The more we crack down on illegal immigration, the less Mexicans in Mexico will cling to the Leftist frontrunner in this July's presidential elections who is suddenly in a statistical deadheat for the first time with right-leading Felipe Calderon. That Chavez-admiring Leftie had been ahead in the polls literally for years on promises of free money and threats of nationalization and such. Suddenly the immigration pressures have helped lead to a declining peso relative to the dollar, though, and voters (who know how much Mexico desperately needs the USA) are noticing growing U.S. disapproval for how Mexico's government still won't stand up to telecom monopoly magnate Carlos Slim (#3 on Forbes wealthiest list). Let's keep up the constructive pressure so that Mexicans who don't want to have to abandon Mexico can stay there (which most WANT to do anyway, to be with their families where they speak the same language and don't have to wash bathroom floors and pick pesticide-laden vegetables).
Meanwhile, don't we owe it to our American people struggling in Mexico who endure Mexico's shamelessly racist immigration restrictions to keep the pressure up and thereby empower reformers in Mexico in that way, too? Can you believe Mexico's hypocritically anti-gringo immigration laws which Rush Limbaugh now impressively and charismaticaly calls "Limbaugh's Laws" while saying we should try running the USA in a similar way to see what the reaction would be? Here they are:

There were no freebies for immigrants until recent decades. Makes all the difference.
This information needs to be shouted very loudly. Everyone in America should know just what the mexican's do to their "illegals".

We are not a nation of immigrants. We were, many years ago. I don't know about anyone else, but I am NOT an immigrant.
The phrase "We are a nation of immigrants" is false, misleading and stupid.

Not exactly. I understand what he's trying to say, however.
This is a ch__ch. What's missing?
Dixie doesn't want any more Northeasterners, thanks.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?
