immigration and arrogance

Okay. I read the editorial pages in the paper every day and have a question. Did the vast majority of people that took the time to attend high school flunk geography class? Mexico is part of America! Mexicans are Americans. There just happens to be a river called the Rio Grande that separates two countries.
I lived south of the border for several years and was treated with nothing but kindness. There was the occasional snicker I would receive when speaking Spanish with my pronounced, Texas drawl and while I usually deny this accusation, I probably –sounded – liaak ah wassa talkin’ liaak this.
The only thing that makes aliens illegal is a stupid law that makes them so. Relax and learn to say “So What?” Nobody is in danger here except for the fact that we are alive, which will eventually result in death, borders or not.

the only thing i can say about this is it sounds like a clear cut case of the powers that be (stupid) saying: "let's find scapegoats for what is, in reality, a NON-issue, make the majority of people think it is a major issue, and hopefully we'll distract them from all the shady crap we're trying to keep on the down low." crimony!
