There are Mexican border patrols - who's job is to help the illegal immigrants cross. Mexico banking institutions are set-up to allow easy transfer of the $60 billion wired into Mexico from the US every year. Congratulations Mexico. You've outsmarted us! It's unbelievable - the Mexicans have completed an almost total invasion of our country - without a single shot. Presidente Fox commends these illegal immigrants as heroes.

There are no special Government grants or loans for immigrants. The US Government did not give money to Vietnamese immigrants to start grocery stores. Immigrants actually have less access to grants and loans. Immigrant labor is a net gain for American economy. They use fewer services than citizens. So, what's the crisis? Just who would benefit from scapegoating an easily recognizable population in order to gain power with the majority? Oh, I forgot.

I'd prefer it if future immigrants did *not* have to endure the same miseries my folks did. And since English is a polyglot and a bastardization of lots of other languages, what's the objection? Although I'm lucky enough that my last name (15 letters) did not get smith or jonesified coming through Ellis Island, I wish my parents had maintained the ties to their parents' mother tongues.

One of the sterling legislators defended this move by saying something to the effect that if "American" was good enough for Jesus, it was good enough for him. Lordy, I hope I'm misremembering, because it's painful to think that someone could be so ignorant, yet electable.

Which part is it, do you think, says my husband. Dunno, says I, probably one of the leucocyte species. As opposed, says he, to the brunocytes? Exactly, says I. So, English is in our blood?
