This is what worries me. You know we have a problem when a Republican president and Daschole are singing the same old song.

Cool graphic!! Note the similiarity in Ashcroft's quote and that of the late Barbara Jordan.

"Immigration is not a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution to everyone and anyone in the world who wishes to come to the United States. It is a privilege granted by the people of the United States to those whom we choose to admit."

"It's time for the American people to reassert their democratic right to control their fate."

"Immigration policy is national destiny."

A former Democratic congresswoman, the late Barbara Jordan of Texas (who chaired a presidential immigration commission in the 1990s), put the matter in the proper context.

Immigration IS NOT a privilage granted by the people. It is granted by politicians who the people aren't upset with to the point they vote them out. All the while, more people come, and thru legal immigration and citizenship to offspring, their numbers increase to the point that our votes are dilluted. Mexicans will rule the southwest thru the ballot box in not too many years hence.

Looks like we need to launch a second Mexican Punitive Expedition.
I wonder if the Army has another John Joseph Pershing handy.

You're right. Even if we were to stop all immigration, we would lose the numbers game due to the birth rate.

They are squawking about U.S./Mexico relations. Last I knew, relationships were supposed to be reciprocal. What has Mexico done for us? I just see the good old USA giving and Mexico taking. Who does Fox think he is to make demands? This is crazy. Take care and God bless.

What has Mexico done for us?

Absolutely nothing. You don't see the Mexican Air Force or the Mexican Navy in Afghanistan do you?

About a month ago OPEC raised it's oil prices and Mexico aligned themselves with OPEC. Do you think Mexico would cut their northern neighbors a little slack on oil prices. Not only no, but heck no. With amigos like this, we don't need ememies.

Are we seeing the the systematic removal of american culture and langugage by these alien guests? This isn't quite on topic, but it's interesting and Mr. Fox the U.S. has lost control of it's own borders.

The United States must legalize the status of millions of Mexican immigrant workers to prove its commitment to a closer relationship with Mexico, Fox told the Council of the Americas, a Western Hemisphere business group.

You're dreaming, Vinny! Most Americans are oppose any across the board amnesty for illegal Mexican's and rightfully so. Since 9-11, that statement has been made loud and clear.

"differences over immigration policy."

You mean the fact that mexico desires an open border to their north but closes, by lethal force, the border to their south?
