Perhaps this is the one thread where I can post that I share President Bush's optimism for the contribution that Mexican immigrants can make as Americans without getting flamed.

The religious threads are more genteel. While I personally disagree with President Bush on his immigration policy, I'm not going to try to insult those who see it differently.
This new President might offer some hope in improving the situation in Mexico. And in my view, that's what's really driving illegal immigration. If Mexico was a better place to live and work, fewer people would be leaving. I haven't noticed hordes of immigrants leaving Switzerland and the UK of late.
Something that heartens me about this fellow is that he has a young family. He's more likely to be invested in the future. Time will tell whether he's able/interested in improving Mexico. A strong religious background certainly helps.
Absolutely!
And this is the one thread where we can all acknowledge and thank Our Lady of Guadalupe for her contribution in this election.
