NOWHERE in the United States Constitution is there any mention of Miss U.S.A. She has no authority to declare war. She does not build border walls or round up undocumented immigrants. Those things are left to others, none of whom wear a sash.
But that fact seemed to get lost during the recent Miss Universe pageant, when Mexicans greeted Rachel Smith, Miss U.S.A., with one chorus after another of boos. Pageant officials said Ms. Smith, 22, was rattled by the denunciations, which echoed other booing she had received during her monthlong stay in Mexico, notably when she showed off a sleek, white Elvis outfit as her national costume on a runway on one of Mexico City’s grand avenues.
On pageant night, the wrath continued. As Ms. Smith was chosen for the final five, despite an awful fall in her evening dress, the crowd grew more boisterous, especially because Miss Mexico, Rosa María Ojeda Cuen, had been eliminated. Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, said he was nervous the audience might storm the stage. “The level of hostility was amazing,” he said, comparing it to the fury on display at the end of a disputed prizefight...
So, Mexicans say, the booing at this pageant was never about Miss U.S.A. herself. It was those letters on her sash.
“This was about immigration and so many things,” said Nicolas Corte, 23, a student who was in the crowd when Miss Smith was booed in her Elvis outfit. “She represented the United States and many people are thinking negative things about the country right now.”
Mr. Corte and others said the complaints included arrogance by the Bush administration and frustration over American immigration policy, the war in Iraq and the historical grievances Mexico harbors against its neighbor.

Can you imagine what would happen if an American crowd booed a Mexican contestant? They would be called racists and bigots.
Okay, let me get this straight... They hate us because we won’t let them stream over the border and turn our country into another Mexico.
Canada... You’re next!
Yanki go home and take me with you!
Sounds like a buncha bigots down there, ya know?
Screw 'em. Build the damned wall!
Mine the border,you only cross at customs checks and with a proper visa....
I know she’s a bit older than the typical contestant but I nominate Ann Coulter as next year’s Miss USA.
I’m sure Ann Coulter would have some choice words for the booing Mexican crowd during the interview component of the pageant.
“Sounds like a buncha bigots down there, ya know?”
I saw Miss USA interviewed on television. She seemed like a very sweet young lady.
Thugs. You’re willing to mob-badger and threaten a girl, so you can bully a country you hate into letting you in?
Go pound sand, scum!
The US has become one big “welfare state” for Mexico. They stream into our country illegally, take American jobs, cram 6-7 workers into a small minivan and more into the cheapest apartment they can find, just to send all those US dollars back to Mexico.
Mexico has a great deal, here! They get rid of malcontents, don’t have to be responsible to police them, educate or employ them, and get all sorts of money pumped into THEIR economy!
Fences make for good neighbors. We need one NOW!
What a hateful stupid bunch of people. They should be down on their knees thanking the US for being the escape valve that keeps their country from falling to a communist dictator.
Folks, that is the reason President Bush and the US government does what it does about Mexico.
this is why the nyslimes is circling the bowl....as with all lib/dems....blame america/hate america!!!!
the illegal hordes have invaded and set up shop in the US...the lib/dems are welcoming...No lobbying that they come in ever greater numbers..so they can vote lib/dem and sink the US into a one party system!!!!
yet....in mexico...they boo the US!!!!!

Unless, of course, Rudy gets elected.
Beck said something yesterday to the effect that they booed Miss USA because she took Miss Mexicos(job) place on the stage even though she had fallen. LOL
