I like Latino people. I respect their deep cultural ties to So. California. I respect their heritage. Yet I don't understand who these intelligent and passionate people allow themselves to be made into blithering idiots by criticizing those who don't particularly like to see the US/Mexican being violated by illegal immigrants from Mexico.

Where is the self-esteem of these hard working people to build up their own very impoverished country rather than being an uninvited relative? I don't understand why those in Eastern Europe were able to throw off the shackles of Soviet Russian Communism and build vibrant economies, yet the Mexicans tolerate dictatorial rule favoring a few elite rich families.

We as Americans are being asked to tolerate their trespassing into our country, yet, the Mexican authorities don't exactly tolerate Americans trespassing into their country and illegally utilizing taxpayer resources. As far as I'm concerned, these groups such as the "Border Angels" are leading the Latino community down a very treacherous lie...just as the Soviet Russians lied and bled to death socially and economically their own peoples for over 70 years. Meanwhile, President Shrub (Bush) puts on his most irritating silly grin and ignores what is going on here...the first throes of a civil war.

President Shrub is one bulb-short of a 4-pack at Walmart. But the sad thing is, the Democrats have not served any better candidates with much more intelligence than President Shrub. It is all about POWER and EGO on the part of Washington DC politicians with no regard to leadership.
