"One nickel to the first person to mention illegal immigration."

At least we have the hard-working Mexicans up here. Maybe the Mexican government has a problem with us dumping rice down there because they might stay home and eat?

Except for the out of work Mexican rice farmers and processors -- and the shopkeepers and equipment salesmen and buyers who do business with them.

This is an unintended consequence of "free trade" -- it's not a win-win market. The real big downside is it means that Mexican who didn't own much -- but were owners of something, so had middle-class values -- have to become workers. A good number of whom will consider working in the U.S.
