2. K and R! Another reason I hear from my undocumented patients is
the violence in Mexico. I frequently hear that in many towns the wealthy have the right to do whatever they want
including murder.

5. Afraid that is where we are heading.
If real change does not happen.

that's the way it used to be in the "old south", right up to the 70's, and many people around here want
to return to it.
Vestiges of a few powerful people ruling still remain in the more rural counties and towns here in Ala.
can't speak for Miss and Louisiana or Georgia, but I strongly suspect.....

3. Thanks For Posting
I'm in a tiff with an acquaintance who sent me an "illegal immigrant" email, but in the email, it says "Don't Dare Call This Racist" when it's clearly racist, because the only nationality mentioned in this so-called-non-racist message were Mexicans.

This is a guy who recently met a gal on the net from Russia and now they are getting married...Russian's okay, Mexican's not so much. Marrying for a green card, okay! Risking your life to get a job in America and getting paid shit, not okay, in wingy nut land
