Could it be that in Mexico the government plays hardball with these folks and keeps them in line? There is no reason why people like Mr. Juarez should be in this country, given that he is a self-admitted illegal alien. His goal is to be an agitator, not to raise his children or do the jobs that Americans won't do. What is his contribution to our society that justifies his extended visit here? To me, it just shows how gutless the politicians and ICE officials are. Because Mr. Juarez is in a public role, he has become untouchable.

However, that just doesn't happen due to greed, power, money, etc. This rhetoric is almost always carried out by people who don't live within the actual problem (or worse...those who are PART OF THE PROBLEM). Typically, these people live in their gated communities or nice little "college" towns sitting in their little "bohemian coffee shops" pondering life's mysteries and how they will "save the world" and "humanity". Just wait for the invasion to come to your comfy little area and mess things up. Will you change your tune? I think so. It almost always happens. Will you embrace the increase in crime, overcrowded "bunk houses", being overtaxed, and not being able to go to the ER when it shuts its doors? Please don't move either! Since you talk a lot of talk we want to make sure you walk the walk. The liberal ones (sympathizers) always like to talk about people just getting along, etc. etc. That would be great!

It sounds like your allegiance lies south of the border. I'm sure we could rationalize some of the things stated by the KKK also. Think about it. Ducky,

To wit: The EZLN opposes corporate globalization, or neoliberalism, arguing that it severely and negatively affects the peasant way of life of its indigenous support base. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is an example of neoliberal policy that the EZLN is against. Apart from opening the Mexican market to cheap mass-produced US agricultural products it spells an end to Mexican crop subsidies and drastically reduces income and living standards of many southern Mexican farmers who cannot compete with the subsidized, artificially fertilized, mechanically harvested and genetically modified imports from the United States. The signing of NAFTA also resulted in the removal of Article 27 Section VII in the Mexican Constitution which previously had guaranteed land reparations to indigenous groups throughout Mexico. The Zapatistas went public on January 1, 1994, the day that the NAFTA agreement went into effect. The initial goal of the EZLN was to instigate a revolution in all of Mexico but as this did not happen, they used their uprising as a platform to call the world's attention to their movement to protest the signing of NAFTA, which the EZLN believed would only intensify the gap between the rich and the poor in Chiapas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_Liberation Heck, some of you would probably agree with the anti-NAFTA, anti-free trade, anti-globalization rhetoric this EZLN group spews forth.

Illegal people, and sympathizers of illegal people, you just stuck you hand into the wrong beehive and are about to get stug. The backlash and moral highground battle has just begun.
