FITZ, did you see this FR poll? I missed it when it ran, but looks like we are not the minority that a few would like us to believe.

I missed it too --- even in this 80% hispanic region people don't want unlimited immigration from Mexico -- and they would not like to give full Social Security benefits to those who worked here for a very short time illegally ---- the only ones who would be for that would of course be the illegals for whom it would be like winning the lottery.
