I am no fan of illegal immigration and am a frequent critic of Bush on immigration and border security. In fact, I consider him a disgrace in these areas.

But, stop and think how much worse the problem would be if 12 - 20 million illegal aliens were Muslim. Can you think of anything worse for the U.S. than 12 - 20 million additional Muslims?

For all their faults (and they are many), at least the Mexican illegals are not bent on converting us to Islam and imposing Islamic law on us in the future. While I'm not big on either one, Cinquo de Mayo sounds like a lot more fun than Ramadan.

I don't mean people like you and me. We get it. But, elites in this country don't. Nor do liberals. And, even some republicans.

Many Americans are called racists for even suggesting that hispanics assimilate and become Americans. There now appears to be double standards for everyone.

"Illegals are okay as long as they read the Bible." is the justification for this invasion of foreigners. It's tiring and frustrating. If they were true Christians they wouldn't steal from their neighbor and covet his home and land.

Using religion to justify any illegal behavior is wrong. In both cases.

You might also, occasionally think about the fact that illegal immigration would not even be on the radar screen if Algore and John Kerry had been elected.

A quiet, grim, note on illegal immigration: we might be reaching the point when we'll need those people for more useful tasks than they perform right now. After all, we threw plenty of fresh off the boat Irishmen into the service of the Union during the Civil War.
