Mass deportation of US citizens of Mexican ancestry happened during the 1930's (1930-1935). It was wide spread & government sponsered. It was a reaction to the onset of the depression. A very large percentage were US citizens or those that entered legally by paying for there entrance before the laws changed. Many had children that were born here & they were force to leave. Many were never able or allowed to return. So it seems that those of Mexican ancentry or of Hispanic heritage are again feeling the brunt in bad times. It was fine to exploite them in better days? Instead of looking at shoring up our fences & closing us in with bigger & better walls my not look at the reasoons that folks exit one nation & look towards another. Is the US a better place for education or medical treatment? Do we offer better employment opportunities? Maybe it's the scenery or the climate? Ya! I'm sure it's all that & more. Well, when they do make there home here it's usually not in a place that you or I would want to live in. When they do find employment here it's usually not a job that you or I would want to work at. When the look for an education or medical treatment for their kids it's usually not in the places that you or I would want to bring our kids to.

If we didn't have a war draining us dry & if we had the surplus we had then maybe we could play the good neighbor & try some kind of policy or system of helping out in a way that would also benifit us
& make it worth while. Spending our money and getting a return in some other form is better than pissing off a neighboring nation, our largest growing minority, a decent amount of decent citizens & besides it might have us looking a little more human in the eyes of the world. Ist it just the Hispanics? There are more illegals than just them. The South East Asians, the Mid Easteners, the Irish & so on, why no hype about the rest? Are they the present pick of the litter? Come on, when times get tough we will always try to pick on someone. We have better minds (maybe not in government) that can come up with better solutions than the ones being perposed now.

OR, is this just a needless smokescreen issue to capture the nation's attention from what would be more pressing issues. I'll bet Bush & company are in heaven just yucking it up, shouting back & forth over a few drinks laughing their pink little asses off, making more fuss of this hill of beans while relaxing, right now, their on vacation.

It may turn out that Tancredo is the Democrats' best friend but surley is no friend to our country & should be dumped promptly.
