This is not a simpler time, we generally don't leave our doors unlocked, the streets haven't been safe at night for over a generation. As long as our leaders act as though we <B><I>are</I></B> still living in a Norman Rockwell world, they are endangering all of us.<BR/><BR/>Let the Mexicans in in an orderly way, using the process delineated under law. Nothing less will do. Not any more. <BR/><BR/>Some things may be as they were 130 years ago, but not everything, bob. It still comes down to taking care of our own. My neighbors of Mexican descent are more important to me, than any Mexicans crossing the border. This is our country, we make the rules, and it's time for the government to enforce them. No more double-talk. <BR/><BR/>After 9/11 we should be smarter than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15375010.post-1148443747213235072006-05-24T00:09:00.000-04:002006-05-24T00:09:00.000-04:00Benning,Just to say a few things.

They were not desired immigrants to this country. It was thought they were going to change our "American way of life" etc. etc. Things today are not really that different than 130 years. <BR/><BR/>I agree that our cherished unguarded border will be a thing of the past. This is a sad development, but is now necessary for our country's economic health.<BR/><BR/>The issue for me is not that we don't defend our border, but how do we make the current situation <BR/>"right".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
