*sigh*...Wesley...that is not the POINT! Or, it is only a portion of the point. The situation is not really comparable to what it was 100 ...or 200 years ago. We were NEEDING immigrants back then..(well, we, meaning everyone but Native Americans)....now we TAKE some immigrants...from many countries... based on certain rules. We actually need very few of them. I am not against immigration...I am against the idea of absorbing everyone who doesn't like it where they are, and whose own countries just don't want...or can't..cope.

Vincente Fox has as much as said...'We have more people and fewer resources than is easy to balance, so our policy is :anyone who can get to the USA is fine with us...we will make no attempt to help you police the situation!'

right..."hungry? We can't help you...go see what you can do at the neighbors!"
