#1 Typical BBC. Starting with the word "immigrants" and continuing with quotes from the Marxist-Leninist Southern Poverty Law Center. Pure bull shit.

#2 Typical BBC Spin.

Starts out sayign they are jut observing and reporting, then prints a whopper like this as gospel:

Mexican officials condemn vigilante attacks near the border.

Paints it as if "attacks" are already ongoing!

Yellow journalism at its best.

They are. Mexicans have beent attacking American tourists along the border for decades but lately attacks upon and (according to friends in the area) kidnappings of Americans are way up.

Oh, you meant on this side of the border ....

#5 Any of our UK posters have the info on the large internment of foreigners locked up on the French side of the Chunnel? I seem to recall an incident of a break out and a number heading in the direction of the channel connection in order to 'illegally' immigrate into the UK. No problem there I'm sure.

#6 Well , failing riding on top of freight trains with 50% chance of being electicuted , other means to cross the worlds busiest shipping lane includes one family using a rubber dingy and paddles brought from a sea side shop !

Am sure its easier to skip across the vast mexico/usa border than it is to cross the channel.

The place where asylum seekers went in France to get to England was Sangatte (opened by the red cross i beleive) and now I think it has been shut down circa 2002-2003 . Dont quote me though !

There are hundreds of attempts to get here(UK) but most are unsuccessful due to the dangers involved .

#7 Hey - Is there really incursions by the mexican army into us territory? If so - why is nothing done about it? Do we do the same thing to them? Is there any definative evidence that could be brought to the blogs?

Several hundred thousand German immigrants tried and none succeeded in crossing the channel. :-)

#9 So! How much you want for this channel thingy I figure 10 billion a sq.mile is sq. Ima willing take an option on this Irish Sea beauty too. Not much talked about, but it looks effective.
