If the Mexican people would only act regarding the leeches that are living off of them. That includes the leeches here in America that pretend to care for them.

Let's remember that no matter how imperfect Fox may be, he is still a "conservative" politician among a wave of many anti-US politicos in Latin America.

He is the least worst, for the US and for Mexico

Well, if Harvard was good enough for the poor Vincente Fox, I can guarantee there will more like him in the future..Here's another BENEFIT the ILLEGALS will reap..

Mercury News wire services

"Harvard University, the oldest college in the United States, said students from families with a combined income of $60,000 or less can attend the school for free. The new program, the most generous in the eight-school Ivy League, will begin in September, the school said in a statement. Its plan also reduces the amount families with combined incomes of $60,000 to $80,000 will have to pay.

``These increases in financial aid build on and extend out emphasis on recruiting students from low-income backgrounds and send a clear signal to middle-class families who have all too often felt that Harvard and other leading institutions are out of reach,´´ Harvard President Lawrence Summers, 51, said in a statement.

Harvard's program builds on one Summers started two years ago that waived tuition for families earning less than $40,000, making the school the first in the Ivy League to offer such a plan. Since then, Yale and Princeton universities and the University of Pennsylvania have all announced similar programs, as has Stanford University.

Harvard, which has a $25.9 billion endowment -- the largest in the United States -- set its tuition, room, board and mandatory fees at $43,655 last week.

The American DREAM..a free Harvard education! Woo-hoo..

""Is Fox looking for a job picking lettuce?""

Give up 6 million a year? Nah.

Dambit, Gumby. I want someone to ask El Presidente Fox why he thinks so many of his fellow Mexicans are fleeing his stink-hole of a country looking for work when all we've heard for the last 10 years is how all the jobs are going to Mexico thanks to NAFTA.

Come to think of it, I wish someone would aks El Presidente Arbusto the same question.

All we have to do is use the same laws that Mexico uses against their illegals ... there'd be a rush to the border to get back home .....

His handlers better hope I don't spot him because I'll be screaming "go home and take the rest of your illegals back with you".

Of course he knows that without the US as a "safety valve," Mexicans would be marching in the street demanding true economic reform.

I have lived here in southern California all my life. I was born in Los Angeles and have seen the changes over the decades. My mother happends to be hispanic who came to this country 50 years ago Today, I was not proud to be half-hispanic and a Californian. I was saddened and to a certain extent disgusted that Speaker Fabian Nunez(a card carrying member of MEChA) introduced Vicente Fox in spanish rather than English. I am wondering whether Speaker of the Assembly was aiming his speech toward the minority in this great state and forgetting about the majority.

It has come to my attention that ALL members of the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE will participate in the conference on the immigation bill..

Our battle is not with the Senators who voted on the "Senate Version" on the bill....the two bill are "oceans" apart.. with the house version being a MUCH BETTER BILL !! our battle is with the Senators who will go to conference with house.. which I just found out will be ALL MEMBERS of the Judiciary Committee and then some additional Senators yet to be named by Reid and Frist !!!...

WE NEED TO LET THESE FOLKS KNOW that we SUPPORT THE HOUSE VERSION !! NOT THE SENATE VERSION !!! now get er done !!

---> for now we can focus our efforts on the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMEBERS !!!

Arlen Specter Orrin G. Hatch Patrick J. Leahy Charles E. Grassley Edward M. Kennedy Jon Kyl Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Mike DeWine Hrbert Kohl Jeff Sessions Dianne Feinstein Lindsey Graham Russell D. Feingold John Cornyn Charles E. Schumer Sam Brownback Richard J. Durbin Tom Coburn

I have written an OPEN LETTER to the conferees and I encouge EVERYONE who cares about this to do the same.... feel free to copy/edit/distribute my letter..
