Just wait till the next election in Mexico, when Mexicans vote in a socialist. That'll be the signal for a general invasion of Latin America. The ultimate target will be that axis of South American evil--Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil: bunch of pink banana and cockamamie coca growers trying to fend off the truth and purity of free trade and laissez faire.<br><br>. . . . . Here's lookin' at [color:red]you</font color=red> kid.

No man, we're bringing peace to a freedom loving peoples. In other words, we're gonna free those South Americans. Because all those socialists . . . you know, socialism is an evil. It makes people depend on the state and that makes them not free. In other words, it makes them slaves. And people naturally want . . . cocaine is bad. Let me tell you, it's evil. And that socialist Bolivian government is encouraging people to grow it. They're even putting it into soft drinks. So we're gonna get rid of those drugs. It's a war on drugs to bring freedom to them. Because people who are free don't fight each other. Look at history. It's a fact.<br><br>. . . . . Here's lookin' at [color:red]you</font color=red> kid.

Border crossings will always happen. People, drugs, parrots, bicycles ~ always have, always will. Illegal immigration (and drugs and parrots and bicycles) is a target for conservatives (those with no compassion), an issue they believe plays well with the homelanders. No denying, illegal immigration is a complex situation, but the Hannitys and ORileys scream it's the end of white Amerika's existence and the second coming of September 11.<br><br>That's mean spirited, hysterical LetMeGrabAHeadline rhetoric. Probably the only thing that will save this country from the self inflicted national embarrassment of a worthless "fence" on the border is that same "can't do" spirit that screwed New Orleans.<br><br>The Minute Men came and went here in Houston. Nobody gave them much notice. They were in the local news for, oh, 3 days and then zip, zilch, nada. It probably took 'em longer than that to figure out ~ Houston's not on the border.<br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue]And I'm the one that jaded you . . .</font color=blue>

If I'd known then what I know now, I wouldn't have spent all that time filling out forms, getting medical checkups, and paying the US government tons of money for "administration costs".<br><br>I'd have changed my name to Jose Manuel Fernando and flown to Mexico, then driven across the border.
