    Immigration, the illegal kind, is a big deal here. The thing that bothers me is when they say immigrant they mean Mexican and tend to forget Eastern Europeans, Chinese, Africans, and the rest. How about allowing an equal number of "guest workers" from those areas?

    I really hate that they dishonor the flag of the country they want to embrace. Placing it under the Mexican flag or burning it. Say what you will about the politics and the politicians, the country is the people and by showing disrespect to that symbol you show disrespect to the folks it represents.

    I still say if the Mexicans want to demonstrate for their rights they should be marching through Mexico City and let Fox and the rest of the corrupt folks running Mexico that they want a chance to make a decent living.
