thanks for finding this, Maalaea, this was the incident I was refering to.
just because the land was taken from americans does not mean that they were correct. they should have investigated before they purchased.
what is this "mexico is a disease"? would dubya agree with you?
Here's a pipe dream. That the US would actually have an immigration policy for the interest of its own citizens. The U.S. system of "making our country a colony of the world" has worked in some ways, but failed miserably in others. That is one thing I like about Mexico, (as with some other countries) it's policies are in the nations best interests, not others. Unfortunately whenever the U.S. thinks of trying something like that, they get hammered. Thank you Jimmy Carter, et al....
you're right, it doesn't make a darn bit of difference if he agrees or not. And I agree, he better start caring about what WE think...his voters...he quoted Bobby Kennedy today, paraphrasing what Kennedy had said in the past "It's not what I think....it's the law". I hope Dubya takes this quote to heart, and listens to us. We'll make sure of it.
I have a sneaking suspicion (not based on facts, just a hunch) that Fox doesn't really give a whit about the lower class in Mexico. That is why he is so adamant about trying to control OUR immigration policy, so the U.S will look after these unfortunate souls, and Mexico won't have to. He's no different than the others, he's just shirking his responsibility onto the U.S. And expecting us to cooperate and shut up about it. If it wasn't for his and Mexico's arrogance in "expecting" and demanding things from us, and then they turn around and harass the Americans down there who are fueling their economy....
That's because the average san diegan is Mexican. On your last point, we will see about that. San Diego does not call the shots in federal matters. BTW, you can put that well-worn race card back in your pocket. You open border types label anyone that speaks up about even the mildest of immigration reforms as xenophobic. Hey, pal I have lived and worked in America's biggest cities and have got along just fine with everyone. I just don't like the idea of other nations taking advantage of our open society by milking away our good will and flouting our laws.
Thank you again. And yes, do you see them taking an active participation in the fight against terrorism? Your point exactly, they are NO friend.
do you honestly believe this?
Got that right. I guess terrorism is not terrorism to ivory tower socialists unless it happens to strike on their campus.
A good percentage are. Do you honestly dispute this? To be sure with all the over the border manufacturing operations there is certainly a strong import trade.
actually many of the affluent San Diegans employ these Mexicans as their landscapers, laborers, ect....there is a ton of employment opportunites for Mexicans (legal or not) and they come over in droves to make in a days work in San Diego that they would otherwise make in a month back in Mexico. I think he's right, San Diegan's don't want their cheap labor to go away. But, fortunately they don't control federal law either.
