The Mexicans are coming whether you like it or not. There is nothing, consistent with the constitution of the United States that you can do about it.

I think you are clearly lacking any grasp of the constitution.

Read the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments and see that persons, not merely citizens, are protected by the due process clauses. Too many Americans are in the habit of imagining that the Constitution means what they would like it to mean rather than what it plainly says.

There is no feasible way to close the borders and the coasts short of building an Iron Curtain around America or a cobalt curtain. There is no way that we can afford the personnel necessary. There is no way that anyone is going to side with the border hysteria as a political matter. The day we have to build a wall around America is the day that America is finished and the rumors of her death are quite premature.

Not too long ago, Ronald Reagan led conservatives to two consecutive smashing victories in 1980 and 1984 as the man whose entire public career was a sunny disposition and publicly expressed hatred of bigotry. He was the one office holder of note worth inviting to dinner. How soon we forget! Dubya emulates Reagan's decency and is bashed for it.

Let's have this battle out in 2004. Run Tommy Tancredo against Bush in the primaries and the Republican primary voters will settle this matter once and for all and save the party's reputation. Tancredo has a lot better chance of losing his Congressional seat than he does of beating Dubya anywhere and you know it.

That is the biggest box car load of steaming bull feces that I have read in weeks.
