Out here in Southern California, a local Spanish-language TV station caused a stink recently by putting up several billboards reaching out to potential viewers in Los Angeles, Mexico. Predictably, as soon as outraged Americans complained, they were accused of being racists. How is it, I keep asking myself, that it's only the biggest racists in America who are given carte blanche to condemn others for being what they are themselves? Who but a racist would conclude that America's sovereignty is merely a minor inconvenience they are free to ignore for no other reason than that they are members of la raza (the race), and they are therefore entitled? I mean, it's not as if the folks sneaking across our border are, like so many other people around the world, trying to escape bloody tyrants or religious intolerance. They simply want the opportunity to make a better living. Well, who doesn't? But that's no reason to give them special treatment. Among their other entitlements, we are given to understand, are schooling, medical attention and a higher minimum wage. In addition, they, along with his eminence, Mexican President Vicente Fox, believe they should be allowed to vote in our elections as well as Mexico's, even if they know less English than I know Greek. It's been estimated that there are 10 million illegals in America. The number must be higher than that, if only because that's the same number I've heard bandied about for several years. For that number to be even close to accurate, it would mean, one, that the border has been securely sealed for all that time, which we and the Minutemen know is absurd.

"If you actually believe that Mexicans are entitled to be here simply because they want to be here, it's you who are a racist. Furthermore, I'd like to know where you live, so I can sneak into your house and help myself to whatever I find lying around."
"And, remember, no fair calling the cops.
We need to put some teeth in the law.
Anyone in the USA that is not legal should be made a felon with one year in jail and a $10,000 fine for the first time.
Anyone aiding or abetting these felons should have the same jail and fine for each criminal they help break the law.
