As opposed to yellow? Kind of a contrast thing?

They are running out of beds huh? Well, a REAL liberal would give a Mexican his bed or even his house. Let’s see the Canadians put their money where their liberal mouths are :) They need ALOT more diversity up there in lily white Canada.

He is one of an estimated 180 Mexicans from Florida who've rushed across the border and into Windsor to claim refugee status, fleeing a crackdown on illegal aliens in Florida.

Of course, when it gets really bad, the Canadian Gubmint (and probably a slew of Canadian citizens) will rail against the USA for having let the problem get this bad....not the damned illegals for acting like rats leaving a burning ship.

some of them have their autos shipped down on semi-trucks.

Like the USA, Canada is just too derned nice and civilized for their coming invasion.

Having lived in North Mexico City (aka “Los Angeles, CA”) for 10 years,
I hope The Canadians wake up fast.

Of find their new “refugees” are ready to do the jobs even their Inuits
won’t do.

In 10 years the Canadian hockey players will sport names like Pancho and Paco instead of Jean Paul and Pierre.

They’s be back. After they find out how long the line is at the emergency room for tummy aches and sniffly noses.

Yes... and also after they learn what "cold" means. It sure ain't like that down where they came from!

GOOD.

If Canada thinks the illegals are so oppressed, let Canuckistan take care of them.

Great idea!

And for those illegals who don't like the cold winters up in Canada, be sure to let them know that San Francisco has declared itself a sanctuary city in solidarity with the "undocumented immigrants." I'm sure that town of 400,000 will be happy to host another million.

I just want to thank all of you for your kind remarks regarding My country. I also would like to take the time to thank all of my fellow citizens for fighting the war on terror. Thank You for dying for these ungrateful people. Thank You for fighting a war which most people disregard, and have little respect for.

Thank You all of the Canadian Soldiers who are fighting and dying in Afghanistan. Last time I looked we were there because of 9/11. Thank You Americans who have posted such derogatory remarks on this thread. It will be remembered.

The details of what compelled the publishing of this story is the question that most captures my interest.

Just how, exactly, did Sarah Sacheli and Roberta Pennington find the Ortega family? Were these reporters camped out at the Windsor port of entry, and did they approach the Ortegas when they came through because they had the look of an immigrant family from Mexico who had made a wayside stop (of fifteen years, yet) in the US before continuing on to Canada? Somehow, that possibility just doesn’t seem likely.

Who had the idea for the story? Did Sacheli & Pennington go to their editor with the idea for the story, or did the editor send them out to develop a lead that was his idea? And, whoever thought of it, what was the genesis of the idea? Like a bulb, did it just light up in someone’s head? Or, as Senator Simpson was given to observe from time to time, did it come floating in over the transom unannounced?

Going back to the original question, who introduced the reporters to the Ortega family and to their story? There are a ton of candidates mentioned in the article: “Local agencies,” whatever that means; Jacquie Rumiel, director of programs for new Canadians at the YMCA; Maj. Wilfred Harbin, Salvation Army administrator or maybe hostel supervisor Marlene Dufault; someone at the city’s social services department or the Canada Border Services Agency; or maybe the Canadian Council for Refugees; maybe it was one of those “fraudulent advisers in the United States” that the article mentioned; could it be Legal Aid or possibly immigration lawyer John Rokakis, all likewise mentioned in the article.

One has to wonder. Did the reporters go out and hunt for their sources? Or, did the sources come to them (or their editor) with a ready-made story freshly pulled off the shelf?

Then there are all the details and quotes from the Ortega family. Did these two reporters actually do a face-to-face with the Ortegas? Or were all those details and quotes fed to the paper by a third, unidentified, party? Was Sacheli’s and Pennington’s only task that of sitting at their desks and writing up a pre-cooked tale? Inquiring minds want to know.

Even odds that the Ortegas are a product of these reporters’ imaginations.
