There has to be something more going on behind the scenes...that would work in our favor vis a vis the Mexican emigration disaster. Maybe if it came out in the papers, Fox would look weak. You know how testosterone driven Hispanics are (I'm ducking because of the brickbats coming my way over that comment...but it's true, nonetheless). Fox would lose face big time if Bush slammed the door on 12 mill. Mexicans. Fox would definitely lose the next election. So Bush has to walk a fine line between maintaining sovereignty (which he doesn't seem to be doing very well at the moment), and being 'understanding' about a countryful of Mexicans here illegally. That's the most positive spin I can put on the immigration bill he proposed, the meetings with Fox, the diplomatic dancing. The problem is: Give an inch, and they want the whole enchilada. They're demanding dual citizenship for all of Mexico. Only it won't go both ways, thank you very much. We give, they take. Nobody's asked the US body politic if we want to absorb another country, one with an alien culture, etc.. I fail to see why in the world we have to play nice with people who want to take us over and steal us blind. Make no mistake about this. Mexico figures we'll keep giving in until they have such a huge voting Latino population here, that they'll elect an Hispanic pres., congress, and absorb us. It's like feeding the tiger until we're eaten. Someone should tell Bush that. Problem is also, with Kerry, everything is a dozen times worse. Kerry will do what the RATS want, which is get the Hispanic vote any which way they can. As for jobs, I expect there will be some good news about them sometime in late spring, early summer. We'll invent something they can't make overseas, or congress will pass a law limiting outsourcing, or a combination of both. Plus, cold fusion is on the way. I think.
