After May Day and what not, I've had a slight change of heart on this immigration deal. I no longer think we should seal the borders. I now believe we should limit the amount of immigrants, and accompany their entry with the strictest of documentation. In controlled amounts (say 100,000 per year, with percentages of the whole based on a country's population), immigrants usually prove to be hard workers, who are glad to be here, and eventually assimilate to our society. Of course, if you commit a crime (traffic tickets excluded) you are gone immediately. No, another spot does not open up for the deported, as we have to show we are serious about law and order. In Texas, most of the angst, ok all of the angst, is directed at our Mexican neighbors. In reality, all of the Mexican immigrants I've ever met are humble, hard working cats, looking to get ahead the right way. People like that tend to contribute to the greatness of our nation, and over time, become critical components of society. I used to see it as adding more rats to the millions already chasing the same crumb, but now I see it for what it is: People trying to escape a den of inequity. As far as anyone coming over and taking what's mine (ours), it won't happen as long as I (we) stay on my (our) game. As Americans we should thrive on competition, and let's face it: As natives, we have the home field advantage. A path to LEGAL, controlled immigration is the way to go.
If you think I've gone soft, a game of human chicken will show you otherwise.

as someone smart once said: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?"
While it's inarguable that the Federal Govt. should control the borders it's also inarguable that the immigrants from south of the border have been a boon to Texas. This state is booming. We're not real Welfarey here, so we get people wanting to work and earn. They're family oriented. Remember that we are all descended from people who got there asses up and left some shithole.
Mexicans do drink too much beer, but so do I, speaking of which, it's almost beer:thirty now. Later.
OT: A few weeks back when Mark Cuban decided to distribute Loose Change, I somewhat jokingly predicted the Mavs would lose in the playoffs because of this. Fast forward to now. For the first time in history an 8 seed eliminted a 1 seed. Google it. Coincidence? You decide. In other billionaire news: Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic airline was showing Loose Change 2 on their inflight movie, UNTIL YESTERDAY! THE SAME DAY THE MAVS WERE ELIMINaTED! Another coincidence? This thing has Bush's fingerprints all over it.
