In the big scheme of things, you're probably right. There's something wrong with this scenario, but is it Alberto Gonzalez's fault? No. George W. Bush's fault? No. That's because our country grants citizenship to anyone born on US soil. I think that needs to change, but for now it's the law.

Thanks!

I wish this open border mess was funny, but it sure isn't.

Have you ever talked to an illegal from Mexico who didn't think Mexico was better than the USA? I haven't. They love Mexico, and think it is better than the US, except for getting jobs and making money.

That is the Mexican "Government" being on the side of America.

Soon, illegal immigration will become virtuous. Orwell was only off by 20 years.

You mean it hasn't already? Maybe you don't watch the same newscasts and read the same newspapers as I do. Heck, there are posters on Free Republic (one in particular) who constantly praise illegal aliens and the noble work that they perform for us.

I got that the first time. And the answer still is: WWII--The Aztec Eagles. The AE was a unit of the Mexican Air Force.

Why did the Mexican Government allow free reign to German agents in both WWI and WWII?

Why did the Mexican Government sell oil (that they had stolen "nationalized" during the thirties) to Germany?

Same Mexico ~ same Mexicans.

Whoever got the idea the place was friendly. These guys ran a revolution that'd curl your hair. Most of them still hate each other's guts.

Interesting overview (political situ) but I don't know how accurate it is:

Gonzales is a liar. He knows that his grandparents came here illegallly, or undocumented.


This guy is our AG?

Before , I believe 1920 I think the immigration policies were a tad different.

I agree. I have no problem with his grandparents being illegal. Nor do I have a problem with any others whose grandparents were illegal as long as it was a loooong time ago. Back then there was no welfare, no free medical etc that came out of taxpayers pockets. In doing genealogy to try and find my one great grandfather that I don't know anything about, I found in Texas, especially in the areas I was looking - Medina county and west and south, there was a LOT of mexicans who said they were born in Mexico. Plus the fact that back then there were no terrorists trying to get here.
