Subject: RE: BS: Bush declares war on Appalachian people
It is all of "us." I agree completely, and they are part of us. I'm not blaming anything on immigrants--though I'll admit, Tancrdo is--but it's just the shear numbers of people that compose the larger problem.

               Bill Richardson, I would suggest, would be the least best choice. I would do anything to keep him out of power.

               There are two components to this problem, though. One being the numbers of people, and the other being people in developed nations turning into super-consumers. Encouraging people to come here from under developed countries does nothing to reduce the populations in the countries they come from. In fact, many of them send money back and make the problem worse.
               The other problem is, once the immigrant is here and finds a job, it doesn't take too long for that individual to become a super-consumer himself/herself.

                Taking a rational position on immigration offends the sensibilities of a lot of people. But the facts are the facts.
