| #12 HOMER SIMPSON - "DO AMERICAN DARE LIVE OUT THE JACKSONIAN DREAM" :Hispanics are generally vey spiritual, hard-working, conservative, and courageous, Republicans-Rightists but in a pseudo-Socialist kindaway. Govt = God = Family, which is why many get pissed off when pol or Govt. corruption occurs as its akin to being betrayed by God or your sweet old Grandma. Many Hispanics tend to frown on Lefty-style waffling - We need to nurture or use these strengths for positivism. |

| #10 How'd they wind up as the basket case they are? 1. Feudalism imported from the conquistadores made for slow economic growth for 4 Centuries 2. corruption 3. illiteracy 4. corruption 5. peonage 6. coruption 7. corruption Irrelevant but interesting historical trivia: The grand 19th century architecture of Mexico City came courtesy of the unfortunate French pupper Emperor Maximilian; and the the Oompah beat of some Mariachi music came from Max and Carlota's court and from the German financiers who build the railroads. The latter had plenty of money to pay dance bands. |

| #8 Sarge, if they're all that, then how did they wind up the basket case they are, and how do we absorb large numbers without duplicating the problems? Say everyone can come _but_ members of current Mexican political parties and their families? |

| #7 Hey we are the United States of America and they are part of America. We celebrate Cinco De Mayo more than they do, we have all the Spanish channels, they are conservative, and they are mostly Catholic. Whats not to love and they can even keep Spanish as the main language. Now all we need is a bullet train down the west coast to Cabo. |

| #6 I'm with CS. Time to start a non-threatening propaganda campaign on the air and through the medias, offering commonwealth status. They get the same status as Puerto Rico. We promise no taxes, free passage, stable currancy, referendums every ten years for independence, and a ruthless pursuit of drug lords and their vastly corrupt government and political parties. In return, Los Nortes will have the right to own property and business in their commonwealth. Eliminate the corruption and provide the environment for employment. Wonder how of the old Mexican ruling class will feel about that one? Now the Blue counties will have to import Chinese to be their grounds keepers, maids, and nannies, while their investment portfolios will be sponsoring boat loads to man their labor intensive businesses. |

| #4 All we need to do is make it nearly impossible for illegals to get work in this country (and don't even start in on me because I don't know how to do that). If they can't get work, they wont come here. That is their single biggest motivation. Pass the laws to keep them from getting jobs, or benifits, and make sure the word gets out that you will probably starve to death if you come here. |

| #3 Tell the 0.5 of Mexico to talk to their leaders and get them to spend their oil wealth on the People or else. Remind them that oil is $60+ per barrel now. It's all about oiiiiilllll™. |
