san diegans are not going to give up this source of income to please your xenophobia.

Americns should not be required to give up their rights or their safety to enable San Diego's financial schemes.

We "rely" on them here too - and it sucks.

"san diego's largest export partner is mexico."

" san diegans are not going to give up this source of income to please your xenophobia."

Funny, I was stationed there in San Diego for 5 years and I could've sworn it was really the northern most suburb of Mexico City. Thank God I live in some little rednecked American town now! At least we know what we are ... Americans!

I happen to speak Spanish, love Mexican food, respect Mexican families and have Latinos for friends, so this is not "racist."

Me too, I have always loved the latin culture, and used to visit Mexico every chance I got. (To drink tequila and eat the food.) Now Mexicans are open with their hatred for the US, this is why Fox could not in good faith support us after Sept 11. (At least with a straight face.)

I applaud this change of heart on the part of the administration (if it is valid) because the immigration policy of Bush is just about the only thing he had campaigned on that I disagree with. We must control who enters with permission to stay, and they must be interested in becoming members of this country.

I believe our reply to Fox from Mexico should be "What right do you have to criticize our immigration policy"? What have you done to help the people of Mexico to make a living in Mexico instead of the USA? We don't owe the people of Mexico anything...

Thanks for mentioning OIL -- I think it has much to do with the timing of the new position on immigration signaled in the article posted here. But you are WRONG.

You said: Mexico is pumping oil like crazy for us. Why do you think you are paying 80 cents a gallon less for gasoline? This will do more for our economic recovery than a thousand burro patrols. THANK YOU, MEXICO!

No way. Mexico just last week tried to stir up international trouble by asking Russia and Norway join Mexico as non-OPEC members to join in a pledge to cut production in order to solidify OPECs pledge to cut production if others outside OPEC joined. Mexico initiated that action by going to Norway to ask for Russia's involvement in the deal. Now, all of a sudden, Russia is reversing its first offer made at the time Putin was smoozing with Bush in Crawford Texas that kept prices low. (Been to the gas station, lately?) Oil Climbs as Russia Edges Toward Cut. Perhaps Mexico will succeed in sticking the U.S. in the back with its international effort to raise oil prices and cut production.

NO THANK YOU MEXICO!

Mexico is in effect joining OPEC. How does that help the U.S.?

Good job of providing the facts.

Lies..lies...lies..

[Aerial]

Just to clarify...I don't mean it is you who is lying.

[wku man]

So why is it called immigration "reform" when our borders would be weakened, but not when our borders would be strengthed? Why can't the AP give this story something to the effect, "Immigration Reform Could Keep Millions of Illegal Aliens from Breaking Into The US"? Oh yeah...because AP stands for "Accuracy Problem".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Regarding that curious website you pointed a link to: Raoul Lowery Contreras RAOUL.NET (BTW its ISP has likemided curious and criminal postings.)

The following is posted Nov. 18th by Contreras:

...the Inspector General who gave "60 Minutes" the interview is named Bill King.  Ironic because one of the leading lights of the fanatical antio-illegal alien cabal is a retired Border Patrol "AGENT" is also named Bill King.  He served when the top Border Patrol people in his San Diego/Chula Vista Sector were on thge take and colelcting bribes on a regular basis from the company I worked for between 1967 and 1971.

-- make him an admitted accomplice to a crime. For what it is worth, I sent an email to the San Diego FBI.

"a toilet filled with inbred white boys"

Do you really believe that? If you do, try to compare cultures in the broadest sense. Can you? Regardless, this is a stereotype I am somewhat unfamilliar with. I guess I just have not been straining myself THAT much to look for something negative in what is admittedly my own race.

Builders or destroyers, givers or takers? Who's side are you on?

*That is their claim the southwest was stolen not mine.

No such thing is claimed. Quit being frightened by fringe groups.
They want jobs that you want filled.
