Subject: RE: BS: A horrible, racist circular...
I get that sort of stuff all the time. I read the first two lines and delete it -- I chose what sort of trash I read and that's not it.

It's the same sort of thing that has been going around in the US about "illegal aliens" (i.e., Mexicans and others from Meso-America and the Caribbean). Of course, some of the folks living the New Mexico and Arizona were living here before Jamestown, before the Roanoke Colony, but let's not get technical. And the fact that most Hispanics here are third, fourth, and fifth generation -- well, I suppose they're citizens, but just barely!

Jimmy Martinez, Tom Gonzales, Gabriel and Paul Trujillo, Benjamin and Francisco Montano, Juan and Arthur Garcia and a bunch of others might be on "The Wall" but were all probably illegal aliens who came here to take advantage of America's free medical care and collect welfare checks. They just happened to die in Vietnam (note that I've included three sets of brothers).

I told someone who was going on about the "danger" from "illegal immigrants" that in my opinion the problem stemmed from the lax, criminally lax, immigration policies of the American Indians and that they should send all of those illegal immigrants back where they came from. That shortened the monologue considerably.

Good on ya, Allen.
