Tony Garza is a open BORDERS & NAFTA guy just look at Texas now

Listen to Bob Reha's report (RealAudio) September 11 brought many changes to the United States, including a new awareness of immigration. After the terrorist attacks, President Bush approved admission for 70,000 refugees by September of this year.

Garza?!?!? Darn. This is not sounding good. I HOPE he's not as bad as his reputation....

Bush has worked hard to court Hispanic voters for his 2004 re-election bid.

He's working hard to alienate the base also..

There are a couple of hand grenades he will have to negotiate on the way to 2004.

Immigration is one, the assault weapons ban is another.

Both are biggies with Conservative voters.

Growing up across the border from Matamoros and speaking Spanish is a disqualification? Next thing I know, you'll tell me he has diplomatic experience.

The ``Declaration in Defense of Migrants in 2002,'' written Friday at a conference in Edinburg, is to be presented in Oslo, Norway, in September with hopes it will become a guide for policy makers, said Mexico's Juan Hernandez, special adviser to the president for Mexicans abroad.

Garza grew up across the border from Matamoros, Mexico, and speaks fluent Spanish.

So? This is the way it should be. Ambassadors should not be appointed because of political donations or connections. I want the US ambassador to the Vatican to be a catholic, the ambassador to Russia to speak Russian, the ambassador to Israel to be Jewish or at approve of the Zionist movement and so on.

Also the politics of an ambassador don't really make a difference. Tancredo could be appointed as Ambassador to Mexico, but that woudn't close the border or put a stop to run away immigration into the US. The ambassador just has to have parties, keep the embassy staff running smoothly, and articulate US political positions that are made by people other than him.

You better look at the education system of Texas now. Since 1992 the population of Texas has increased by 25% due to immigration.

America is being destroyed because of immigration.

Maybe that doesn't matter to you, but it does to me.

[PatriotReporter]

Just Watch this guy

you will see!!

[Tancredo Fan]

Thanks for the ping. Garza is bad news. This is ridiculous. Yet another fifth-columnist taken into the inner circle. I need to go retch. Out the door in 2004, no doubt about it.

[PatriotReporter]

close all BORDERS now and stop all Visa now

Do you need any more exaple than 9-11.

What bothers me the most is the Americans are giving up their liberty and freedoms becaue of immiration.

if Bill clinton did home land defense you world be Screaming

It's changing our Christian country to a Vulcanization of America.

"The U.S. and Mexico share not only a border, but a rich history of common economic and cultural interests.

Can these multi cultis ever say something without using the stupid cliché *rich*? 

Tony Garza has an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the United States and Mexico and its impact on the people of both nations,"

TRANSLATION: He will be working hard for Mexico. Illegal immigration will not be an issue.

 Bush said in a statement accompanying the announcement of Garza's nomination.

This guy will pander to Mexico. Afterall he is MEXICAN and will feel a strong connection to the country and this might bring about Dual Loyalties.

[Black Agnes]

25%!!!!! and by almost all immigration! !!! No wonder your school systems and hospitals/health care is in such bad shape. You'll be like CA, never elect a pubbie again!

[Black Agnes]

Yeah, one wonders, does this guy hold dual citizenship? Inquiring minds want to know! Just WHO would his loyalties be to if he *did* hold dual citizenship???

[PatriotReporter]
