While attending a conference in Vegas this past week I met a man in charge of a very large government run entity in Houston (I won’t name the ‘entity’ for the obvious reason).

He’s desperate to leave Houston due to the huge uptick in crime related to the Katrina evacuation. The stories he told me about entire neighborhoods literally ‘overnight’ becoming gangbanger’s heaven are stunning.

I felt very sorry for the guy, he’s a year away from retirement, with very few financially viable options for flight from his home city.

"...entire neighborhoods literally ‘overnight’ becoming gangbanger’s heaven..."
Yes, and unfortunately, that's the kind of information that never makes it onto the 6:00 news. I am delighted that the "marketed" image of the immigration proposal...of decent, hard-working, God-fearing people lining up for nothing more than to participate in the American dream...was seen as EXACTLY that...a marketing ploy. Obviously, there are people in other countries who DO want to come here and work hard and obey the rules and be a part of America. But we also got to witness Mexican flags waved in the streets of Los Angeles and cries for "amnistia" and "reconquista"... And because the "12 million" illegals here right now represent an ESTIMATE, not an actual figure, we have no way of knowing how many of them break OTHER laws (in addition to entering the country illegally). This "legislation" was proof positive of the old adage about fooling some of the people some of the time. This time, the American people were not fooled, and it was wonderful to see so many speak out and make their opinions heard.
