They are already talking moving the entire movie industry to Canada if they are not given a 100,000,000 tax break from California.

Take California and Massachusetts and you've got a deal.

By the looks of your profile page, your wanting to relocate to Colorado.

I got news for you Huck, Colorado is crawling with illegal aliens. Would to see some more articles regarding Colorado and this titanic invasion of millions? As it's just started there. According to some in Colorado, some towns would fail to run if it wasn't for all the illegals.

Mexico Consul General calls for repeal of Colorado law

Summit Daily News | March 9, 2002 | Dennis Webb

GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Mexico’s Consul General for Colorado called Thursday for the repeal of a state law prohibiting undocumented residents from obtaining driver’s licenses. Consul General Leticia Calzada, who serves a multi-state region that includes Colorado, called the restriction “very tough for them and for me, too.”

Undocumented residents are being cited for minor offenses that “are clogging courthouses in many counties because these Mexicans need to drive,” she said.

On Feb. 14, the Colorado Senate voted down a bill that would have granted driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrant workers who do not have a Social Security number, but who could provide an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS.

Calzada’s comments came during a meeting with educators at Colorado Mountain College’s Glenwood Springs campus Thursday.

At that meeting, she also called for a new U.S./Mexican accord on immigration, and promised to serve as a resource for educators confronting challenges with the influx of Mexicans in local schools.

An immigration agreement is needed “to put order in this disorder” involving undocumented Mexicans in the United States, she said.

For the sake of the United States, and Colorado in particular, the issue of undocumented Mexicans must be resolved, she said.

“They are providing labor and energy to the economy of Colorado,” she said, adding that she finds Mexican workers in every resort-area hotel and restaurant she visits.

“Without Mexicans, Beaver Creek could not run,” she said.

An immigration agreement, Calzada said, also would be good for Mexico, “because Mexico needs some time — I don’t know, maybe 15 or 20 years — to improve its economy, its situation.”

In response to concerns from some Americans that Mexicans threaten to overpopulate the United States, Calzada assured her audience that Mexico wants its citizens to find good work at home.

“We would like to see the people of Mexico living in Mexico,” she said.

Mexico President Vicente Fox considers the Mexicans living in the United States “the forgotten ones” — economic exiles who deserve more attention, Calzada said.

"It's a question that we could begin to answer today by placing the military on our borders"

I don't like this no more than the next person, but we have to think of America First or it could be our downfall, we need troops on our borders and Fox needs to clean up his own country and stop blaming America for the sorry *ss condition his people are running from.

I see many scenarios in which the United States will get vastly bigger than it is right now. Our last two states were admitted in 1959. Nowhere is it written in the Constitution that our expansion must stop at 50 states.

I would not be surprised to see the United States eventually grow to include all of North and South America. Certainly I don't see that happening in our lifetimes, but over the next 200 years, who knows? Even Cuba may become a U.S. state at some time in the future. Wouldn't that make Castro roll over in his grave!

So long as the new states adopt our Constitution and Bill of Rights, I have no problem with the United States continuing to expand. Many Americans were horrified over the Louisiana Purchase and some states threatened to secede over it, just as you threaten to emigrate (they feared that they would lose their influence). But it all worked out rather well in the end.

Reminds me of the Mexican having an arguement with a Texican. Finally the Texican, out of sheer exasperation, came right out and asked the Mexican "Why do you hate the United States of America so much?" to which the Mexican replied "Because, not only did you take half of our country away from us, you took the half with paved roads!"

Several points about this debate:

1) Mexico will ultimately reabsorb the Southwest. Demographics is destiny. When the majority of the population in these states is Hispanic, the border will collapse (even more than it has already) and the remaining white population will flee (the way they fled the cities back in the 70s)

2) Frankly, they can have the border states if they want...but I would demand a few conditions:

a) They have to keep all of the Hollywood liberals. Ted Danson, Steven Speilberg, etc...they all must stay and live in the new Aztlan. They are a pain in the butt anyway, and are always trashing the Western world...so let them live in the utopia of their dreams.

b) Mexico accepts that the new border will be militarized by the US (land mines, etc) and that no new illegal avalanche will be allowed to cross the new border once the southwest reverts to Mexican levels of socioeconomic development. Fool me once....etc.

Great. Just when the State is going broke in part because of this stupid industry. I have a hard time seeing movie moguls without a tan, but I guess they can get that in Barbados.

Americans will become Mexico's worst nightmare before they ever hand over any part of this nation, this is what I believe.

"Do you believe in the tooth fairy, too? Not a flame, just curious."

Nah, I guess I'm just dumb enough to still have a little faith in my fellow Americans, like I said, I could be wrong, but I do believe in Santa Claus though, could be wrong there too, who knows.
