I used to never listen to country, but it’s changed a lot over the last ten years or so. And the cowgirls are hot!

BTW, the Open Borders movement may be to abolish “USA” and replace it with the North American Union.

Open borders seems very dangerous in the post 9-11 reality.

“While I appreciate the predicament these people face and their willingness to work hard to achieve their dreams, I can’t help but despise their government for pawning off it’s impoverished citizens off on another country simply because they are unable or unwilling to fix the problems in their own country.”

By despising “their government for pawning off it’s impoverished citizens” you are despising -by default- yourself (because you have the power as a U.S. citizen to vote and put in place “your type of government”) which support “those governments -which are pawning off their impoverished citizens; and not only that your government support the transnationals which “pawned off” (with the help of those officials south of your borders) the natural resources of those countries.

Wake up TIM -you are responsible yourself for “all this immigration mess” by putting in place corrupted officials since the 1800’s up to date.

In college last year I took an international business class and discovered (much to my dismay) that the Mexican government actually encourages it’s citizens to enter the United States illegally. In fact, they even publish a handbook on how to do it safely. The book covers everything from how to avoid dehydration in the desert and drowning in the river, to dealing with the authorities if caught.

An English translation of this handbook can be found here: http://www.theamericanresistance.com/ref/brochure_translated_guia_del_migrante_mexico.html

This guide is available at many bus stations and government offices courtesy of the Mexican government.
