Salvage him for what? Vicente's term is half over --- and they have a one term presidency. If Vicente is unable to do much about the corruption and the only feather in his cap is that he got Bush to hand out blue cards to Mexicans --- I don't think that's enough. There is a lot of pent-up anger, immigration provides a safety valve --- but for how long? I know they're all afraid that the smallest limitation placed on immigration ---- and the whole thing begins to blow.
The politically savvy, entrenched and successful will manage that movement. I like the guy in the Oval Office, thank you very much. This is a national issue, and with marginal due respect, I don't care where the FREEP any of you all live. Seriously. You need political power, or you get steamrolled. Running away next November tells me you are all just prime for a steamrolling. I hope it's the Bushbot Pubbies pancaking you with love, and not the Dean maniacs giving it to you with ill intent.
