It boggles my mind that you discount the impact 200,000,000 immigrants from Mexico/Central America over the next 25 years would have on this nation.
Once they have voting rights and start electing judges/politicians of the corrupt Mexican variety, it's all over with.
Pukin, not bad for a Navy guy. Sign me up.
This illustrates the problem with the anti-Bushies (since I can't thing of a better phrase).
Mexico has 100 million people
Central America has 50 million people.
And even if there were 200 million of them, they would not all come here.
This is one of the reasons I'm not all that concerned about Mexican immigration, they don't have that many more to export (unless of course there should be a complete breakdown in order such as a civil war in which case there a huge refugee problem which mean intervention by us.)
One of the benefits of a guest worker plan would be you might see Americanized English-speaking Mexicans working here influencing Mexican elections.
Mexico would more likely become South Texas than California Aztlan.
You have a point about corruption from below the Rio Grande, and it makes the open borders scheme all the more insane -- unless we intend to invade Mexico and fix it for good. This Clintonesque nuttiness that reality doesn't matter, that it's just what you feel or your intentions that count...it's like a cancer, metastisizing all over the place. God help us, wishful thinking never solved a thing. The MSM simply changes the argument, defines it and controls it. We have to make sure they don't get away with it.
