You made great points in your posts at #7 & #8. This issue is getting out of hand.

I am not totally against building the economy of Mexico, as long as it isn't money down a rat hole. I think the money should have about a million strings attached to it, like, new schools, sewage disposal plants, building a middle class.

If we can throw money at Afghanistan, we may as well throw some at Mexico, but both should allow us to determine what it is spent on. If we give it, we get the say.

In the Washinton Times today:
"One Senate Republican aide said their office had been flooded with calls against the president's proposal, with none favoring it.
Nevertheless, the White House continued to push for the bill yesterday, with Mr. Bush emphasizing that it also "enhances our border security."


It is obvious from the above that Bush could care less what the American public has to say on this subject. I never thought I would ever regret voting for a Republican but the day has come.

The best way for money to get to Mexico is for us to have a WAR with them. I don't want to know what we are planning to give the Afghans in the next decade.

George " Dubya" Bush the best president Mexico ever had!

I noticed that Laura gave a speech today in which she mentioned "Global" etc. about four times in about three minutes. She too is bit with the "Globalist Firster" bug.

The Mexican consulates constitute criminal entities in the US-RICO statutes would apply for such efforts. They spread false documents, intended to be used for fraudulent purposes.

I would like to see jobs in Mexico that would keep people there. We see here people from Mexico coming over to work and shops in our stores ---if they had the same stores in Mexico (Walmart for example), they could work and shop there and cut down the bridge traffic alot. It'd even be a better deal because they have a lower wage scale and their Walmart employees could make $3 an hour and think it was wonderful --then they could have lower prices too. Somehow they need to get Capitalism going over there ---the maquilas paying $3 a day wages aren't going to do it. Tourism is a far better industry because a waiter or bellhop could do far better than $3 a day and live in a much nicer town than the desert maquila towns.

I think you mentioned the oil business as well. I've heard talk that Bush & Fox are going to talk about using American expertise to develop the area in Mexico south of the Permian & Delaware basins in New Mexico & Texas.

Reserves there are huge and the the job benefit would be tremendous. High paying and both technical and hard labor (roughnecks on the rigs), welders/pipelines, geologists, engineers. I wish the Bush smackers here could see the trees in the forest. This Amnesty thing has clouded a lot of usually rational thinking and the obvious is being overlooked in favor of passion.

The tourist industry could be huge, bringing a massive number of good paying construction jobs. That country is blessed with so many natural resources, if they would let us help them develop those it would make for a rapid turn around in their economy. Hopefully we'll see some beginings after this summit.

I see where Condi won't let Castro get too close to Bush. Can you imagine, he'll come back talking about Cuba's wonderful health care.

I've heard from a number of sources that once Bush makes up his mind he never changes it. If true, the die is cast and it will be another 3 long years of misery. My personal opinion is that Bush, for whatever reason, wants the Mexican Invasion to continue and is not afraid of losing reelection because of it.

Just as during the criminal reign of the Clintons, Congress is our only hope in staying in the game until we can get that *unusual* president that puts the interests of America before self-interests or with Bush, foreign interests.

We should not be criticizing the president with our troops in the field.

Why not? He's screwing them, too.

Time for a third party?

What a suprise, new fella.

Here is the key...

The idea is to create "economic circumstances in Mexico that allow them to (stay) home," Rice said.

China is going to be pissed.
