I seriously doubt your statement as to their being Americans. Most LEGAL citizens have pride in their country and would not raise a Mexican Flag over the US Flag.... of course we have a population of 'anchor babies' who might. Their parents 'stole' a place in our community and never embraced becoming a US citizen. No wonder they have nothing but contempt for us. This kind of immigrant has no right to citizenship in this great country whose freedom has been won by those who truly loved it and what it stands for. Their actions in this debate completely disallow them as candidates for citizenship.

Thank You antceecee!

I've got German friends from when I used to live there that love the U.S. and are smarter and more productive than most people I know, yet they can't immigrate. Go figure on that one.

Thank You!

Anchor baby outrage continues. In the local rag this morning, this is the headline many woke up to:

Yuma students take protest to City Hall

For Kofa High School freshman Adrian Armando Collins, the proposed federal immigration legislation hits home. Literally.

His mother, who works in the agricultural fields, came to Yuma illegally 15 years ago. She isn't a criminal and shouldn't be treated like one by the U.S. government, Collins said.

"She came here to try to make a better life for her, for us," he said. "It's not just about Mexico. It's about all immigrants."

Starting at 8:30 a.m. Friday, an estimated 200 students, mostly from Kofa High School, marched throughout Yuma for hours waving U.S. and Mexican flags. They were protesting immigration legislation, including a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representations that would make it a felony to be an illegal immigrant or to offer aid to them.

"Our families came here and we want to support that," Kofa student Ramon Haro said. "Just because I talk to my family, does that make me a felon?"

As the students marched, they were greeted with honking horns from some drivers. One person, a white man, yelled "Go home" at the students while another driver, a Hispanic, told the group "to keep going."
