Why don't Mexicans finally stand up to the monopolistic oppressor who lives in Mexico year 'round, and is about to become the wealthiest person on Earth according to the Forbes billionaire list? To read an astonishing new exposé about the guy, feel free to visit:

There is more going on in Mexico than we know. President Bush is building a relationship with the new Mexican President, Felipe Calderon who won his presidency by a narrow margin against Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Calderon has great opposition in Mexico. Mexico is vulnerable to destabilization by outside Marxist states like Cuba and Venezuelia. There is a threat of revolution. This is why President Bush is lending his support for the Mexican people.

He wants to improve frayed ties over immigration and drug trafficking and the Iraq war, but without alienating supporters back home,

So... basically, American Citizens are telling him.. NO.

Bush has been having a hard time (getting a butt kicking) lining up support (demanding obedience) from his own Republican Party for his proposals to establish a guest worker program amnesty and a path to citizenship chain migration program for some all of the 12 30 million undocumented workers illegal alien criminal border violators already (violating the law) in the United States.

I will say that Calderone has one point. The only reason that druggies run their poison across the border is that Americans want it.

And no, Libertarians, legalization isn't going to solve the solution, just dumb-down America further.

Flame away...I am ignoring you Libertarians, anyway.

Correction, "solve the problem", not "solve the solution".

Maybe he should retire there when he leaves the White House.

I gather the Bushbots are looking on in amusement. Bush Derangement Syndrome is a serious matter, and it's spreading.

He didn't lose his mind. This has been his calculated intent all along.

Unfortunately for him, the American People stirred a bit from their slumber long enough to see what he and the rest of his ilk have been doing to us and weren't happy.

I think you are correct and it is something most people never think of. The US is Mexico's escape valve, without us there would be a revolution in Mexico and we would end up with a communist government on our southern border. I can't think of anything worse than that.

Screw Mexico!

Step #1. Seal the border between Mexico and the US.

Step #2. End all money transfers by ACH or wire between persons in the US and Mexico. If they want to transfer funds, they need to prove that the funds were earned legally.

Step #3. Zero tolerance for illegal aliens. If they're here working illegally, they need to be deported, and those who hired them need to be seriously fined, and made to pay restitution for any taxes collected by them, back to the people from whom they stole it. Of course, those funds would need to be transferred to them once they're back in Mexico.

Once 12 to 20 millions illegal aliens have been repatriated, THEN we should open a dialog with Mexico. And that's when we should start caring what they think of us!

Amen to that!

Have you read much about Ron Paul?

He doesn't have much name recognition, but it sounds like he's entering the race.

He is from Texas and sounds pretty doggone conservative.

I pray I'm wrong, believe me. Washington is full of trenchrats.

Break out the tin-foil hats for this one folks, but this just occurred to me: What if there are plans to create a single "North American Union." And one of the things that needs to be done, to ensure that there is no (or only minor) resistance, is to ban and collect up all the firearms the public owns. Of course, they can't just pass a law, due to that "pesky" 2nd Amendment. So, the first thing they need to do, is have the SCOTUS rule that the 2nd Amendment does NOT protect an individual's right, but that it's a collective right, of the state or federal government. Once that's done, they can pass a law for the confiscation of all firearms.

And we know that the recent ruling in DC is going to be headed to the SCOTUS sometime soon...

I think "President Bush sucks up to Mexico" might be more appropriate.

I'm about fed up with Bush at this point.

My sentiments exactly. I'm getting to where I can't stand him.
