Sorry, if you can't get into the LAT site, here's an excerpt from CNN:





Mexico is Utah's third-largest trading partner, and Fox was invited to the state by Gov. Jon Huntsman. (Watch Mexico's president call for greater ties with U.S. -- 1:51)

But with immigration in the spotlight in the conservative state -- and in the United States as a whole -- Fox is expected to talk about the issue as well, particularly when he addresses the Utah Legislature on Wednesday.

Utah's Hispanic population, made up mostly of Mexicans, has tripled since 1990, and the reason is a point of contention.

Some say the state's family-friendly atmosphere and economic opportunities attract immigrants. Others don't see it that way.

Alex Segura, a member of the anti-illegal immigrant group the Utah Minutemen, said Utah is a haven for illegal immigrants because so many people tend to look the other way.

"They are very compassionate, open-minded, open-hearted people who want to help," Segura said. "But sometimes their compassion supersedes the law requirements that they need to recognize."

Thanks for the ping/info.

Utahans will be sorry when their beautiful city begins to look like East LA and they have car jackings, home invasions, robberies and drunken road accidents. I have seen this in the news in a very large Texas city, this is not just East LA or California any longer.

And let me add with emphasis, this goes on EVERY DAY!!

I'm getting real sick of that word, 'Compassionate', it's code for; 'rollover', BOHICA, spineless, DO NOT CONFRONT, 'I'm to much a wussy to say no' etc. etc. Lump that one in with 'Comprehensive' as code for 'SELLOUT'.
