And speaking of immigration...

Arturo Gonzalez Cruz, as reported by Fox News, "says flat out, he wants to see the border disappear." Señor Arturo Gonzalez Cruz is Mexico's new man is in charge of border relations...

And we then have John Kerry vowing: "In my first 100 days as president, I will send a comprehensive immigration reform bill to Congress that does justice to this issue..."

Hmm, this does not sound like immigration policy overhaul, but a ploy by the putz to engender those Americans of Mexican ancestry to vote for him.

There is a man, who is in congress, who is quite knowledgeable regarding immigration and speaks about it consistently. That man is Representative Tom Tancredo of Colorado and here is an interesting article about him. The article details information about the matricula consular and another article, at VDARE, about Representative Tancredo, tells the story of how certain friends of an open border responded to the threat of Mr. Tancredo, who railed against the government of Mexico, who wishes that the United States taxpayer pay for the education of illegal aliens. That argument arose from a story that is linked (a link no longer valid) in this article, by the Denver Post about a young illegal immigrant named Jesus Apodaca, who could not go to college- at the taxpayer’s expense.

Young Mr. Apodaca was an honor student, and certainly not like Omar Garza. I read about Mr. Garza, this morning in an article about high school dropout rates in Texas. Mr. Garza had this to say about his desires, and the reason he dropped out:

"I needed one more semester to graduate," said Garza, who left Mexico for Texas as a teen. "I would like to finish. I don't want to do this all my life."

Garza said he quit school partly because he didn't want to take classes in English as a second language.

"I also met a girl, and you know how it is," he said. "We fell in love and started having kids."

I wonder if Mr. Omar Garza, of Houston, Texas will vote for Kerry, or even if he can, as the article does not state if he is a United States citizen.
