Our opinions don't seem to count at the ballot box. All our officials from BOTH major parties are being pressured by the thousands of groups claiming to have concerns about human rights violations, from this country and Mexico. There is an Hispanic Congressional Caucus, LaRaza, MeCha, radical groups, non-radical groups, religious groups, non-religious groups, anti-hate crime legislation, front groups, mostly funded by the usual suspects, Ford, Pew, Tides, Rockefeller, Heinz. Then there's the UN spreading the lie that middle class white Americans use of resources is responsible for all the world's ills. Fox has said he is the president of all Mexico's people, including those who live in the US and has some new agencies throughout our land to help it's citizens who live here get these ID's and whatever else. It's madness. I say register NO PARTY and let the PUBS/DEMS rethink their priorities. A mass bi-partisan movement of the people, as in "WE the People". It's only a mouse click away, in most states. It can't hurt. Could this be too easy? We have to do something for the next generation and the future of our nation. /rant

Here is something I don't understand.

The other night FOX news was listing countries who had "better shape up or else". They listed various countries, such as France, Germany, Syria, and CANADA!! They gave out the reasons, and they said that Canada is refusing to hand over Iraqis who live there. I didn't hear any further details, but my immediate thought was, "What about Mexico???!" Mexico did not make the list, but it is much more of a danger to us than Canada, as illegals cross over to come here all the time, and Vincente Fox encourages them. In my mind Mexico is much more of a danger than Canada because who knows how many potential terrorists come here from there?

Something is fishy regarding Mexico and the US IMO.

We can't ever forget the pressure of the campaign contributions from the people who are employing these illegals. Personally, I think that is what matters most. Maybe that is just my burden to bear - but I think our President could get around the UN, LaRaza, etc. Just can't get around that old need for money and the need to repay those contributions.

After reading your post again, I think you may have nailed it. It's political and financial. It looks like everything boils down to money and profit, for the Powers that Be of course, not the people. Therefore it's okey for Mexico, but not for Canada.

Well said. I haven't been registered as a Republican for several years, changed it in disgust.

It's a shame so many Freepers ignore these threads. I guess Laci Peterson's death is so much more important. < /sarcasm> (Not to make light of her death, but...)

I say register NO PARTY and let the PUBS/DEMS rethink their priorities.

I'm one step ahead of you. I already did

I have been hounding Bush and my senators relentlessly about illegal immigration.

Pete Sessions is my representative and I don't have to worry about him because he is against illegal immigration and amnesty and has an A+ voting record in that regard.

Just keep fighting the good fight!!

Regarding - who is responsible for all the world's ills

Consider this fact about the SARS pandemic started in China:

The biggest contribution to the spread of novel diseases is made by China's 94 million migrant workers who hail from the countryside and seek work in places like Beijing and Guangzhou.

Where is Bush's brascero program now?
