#1 I won't open a comment war.

Suffice it to say North Carolina is not California. Or Arizona.

#2 Meat, Mexicans and Social Mobility. That would make an excellent suggestion for the Episcopal Church's alternative description of the Trinity, no?

#3 No Threat! I have heard Mex-Ams (or whatever) openly speak about uniting California and Arizona with Mexico, when they have the numbers. People should do the math, before they make snap judgments.

#6 uniting California and Arizona with Mexico

Does it ever occur to the Greater Aztlan crowd that the reason Cali and Arizona are attractive is because they are *not* Mexico? After you expand the economic dumpster that is our neighbor to the south, where will you go next?

#7 Steve,
It is very obvous to the Mexicans who actually come here that living here is much better than in Mexico.
The desire for the "reconquista" is from the Mexican elites (in Mexico) and the Chicano equivelent of "Trustafarians".
When the Mexican consulate in Seattle tried a voter registration drive for the last Mexican elections, only 1/1000th of the people eligible registered.
The "reconquista" is as real as "Fitzmas" in DC.

#8 The discussion is not about the worth of hard working immigrants. I so tire of this red herring. The topic is ILLEGAL immigration. Sure, many go on to live the American dream. Good on them, we all wish them well and welcome them. The real issue is that business benefit from cheap labor and we taxpayers pay the bill for the services for it. They sell it to us that we are saving so much money on lettuce and lawn care. BS.

It's an immoral shadow class. Make them legal -make a legal immigration system that works. Is it really too much to ask for? They say American citizens won't do these jobs for the wages paid. Who will do it when we make them all legal? Riddle me that, Batman!
