I am getting some very interesting sub-harmonics in my reader e-mail about the immigration thing. People are angry all over; but I am getting a fair amount of e-mail from people who are NOT angry, don't see what all the fuss is about, and are fine with massive illegal immigration from Mexico. A disproportionate number of these what's-the-fuss people write from Texas. Is Texas "special" in this regard? As compared to, say, California? One reader suggests that Texans have a much better-rooted sense of who they are than Californians do (heck, Texas was briefly a nation, wasn't it?), and so are comparatively insouciant about sharing their land with their neighbors. Is this right? If so, it throws an interesting light on GWB's attitudes.
BS. They are one and the same.
There is a historical pattern of migration of Mexicans into the US just as there is a pattern of migration within the US. People from the NE go to FL and people from the midwest go to Texas.
Mexico is not one homogenius group of people. Do you know about the big people and the little people of Mexico? Those from the south versus the north? Can you comprehend the effects of "Operation Wetback" in that it birthed the maquilladoras which exposed northern Mexico to capitalism? Recall that when the reformers left the PRI they went to the PAN because it was the party of the "hard charging capitalists" of the Mexican north.
That should be intuitively obvious. If someone doesn't think that voting for himself is a good idea, why should anyone else?
Not only would you not get any of what is in Tancredo's bill (not a single part of it) under Dean or any Democrat, you would likely find these illegals turned into not just guest workers but legal voters, ensuring that people you like would never, ever, ever get elected.
TEXIFORNIA OR MEXAS? HERE'S ONE EXPLANATION [Peter Robinson]Having lived in California for a decade now, Derb, I too have noticed the difference in attitudes toward illegal immigrants between Texans and my fellow residents of the Golden State. The best explanation I've come across? That whereas welfare payments here in California are lavish, those in Texas are minimal. Which of course means that whereas Californians are quite understandably suspicious that illegal aliens enter our state to take advantage of our countless welfare offerings, Texans may rest content in the knowledge that Mexicans slip across the Rio Grande only because they want to work.

IIRC, most of the Valley, El Paso & Robertson counties went bad also.
That statement pretty well sums it up.
Native born and very proud of it.
Oh, and for you illegal alien law breaking lovers, my forefathers also can to this country as immigrants as you all so ineptly and often point out. BUT, they came here as legal immigrants, obeying the host nations laws and worked for the good of the nation itself. They didn't come here looking for a handout
They were loyal to their adopted country and forever grateful for the opportunities that were afforded them and didn't try to bite the hand of their benefactor government. The kind of immigrant you're so quick to defend are unworthy.
