The Left Has Infiltrated the Movement
For all of you that think this immigration controversy is just Bush's way to divert attention from Iraq and the terrible economy, take a look at some organizations organizing and supporting the May 1st march:

My comment there:

You might read the David Frum book review of "The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How It Changed America."
(Link)

He has stuff like this:

"Their experience as farmworkers and as sharecroppers had taught them that employment was almost always exploitation--that the boss would cheat them of their pay and that it was therefore foolish not to cheat the boss of their work."

Anyway:

If they are "escaping" something South of the border then it is this something -- inequity or exploitation, or whatever -- that me must focus on.

It must be framed in the context of demanding that Mexico become like the good northern neighbor that these refugees seek refuge from the evils of the South. If Georgia and Alabama can reform then so too can Mexico. If Mexico were a state, or many states, in the United States of America then we could just send in the National Guard to rid such states of the graft and corruption and drug lords and whatnot that rule with an iron grip. Heck, we might even get to clamp down on the booming business of kidnapping, which seems as routine as operating a super market.

Instead of looking at "urban black poor as immigrants" (from the book review) we can look and the brown immigrants instead as displaced sharecroppers from the Southern states.

Is this like the new civil war? In both scale and intensity? If they wish to carry the US flag does that not mean that they wish for the ideals of America be adopted lock stock and barrel in all of what is now called Mexico. Their population is largely immigrant too, as if that is relevant to the PR hype.

Could Bush be looked upon as one of the Northern Industrialists that are inviting blacks to the North to bust up unions? Would anti-union rhetoric of some righties blind them to a greater goal of a shared stake that transcends empty affiliations.

My comment elsewhere (NWRepublican):

Shall we consider the immigrants as political refugees who's rights are being denied in Mexico?

Is was Castro, was it not, that has resorted to letting his discontented population leave so as to avoid addressing their demands.

Every American flag that is raised by an illegal Mexican immigrant should be read as a demand upon Mexico to address their needs, in Mexico, not upon Americans.

The immigrants are only a symptom of Mexico's present lack of ability to address it's population's needs . . . like Castro's Cuba.

Dare to have pride and to fill the minds of the illegal immigrants that we send back with enough pride in an ideal so as to fix Mexico, as it clearly has many discontented citizens and needs their equally vigorous public appeals in the streets of Mexico City.

We should demand no less of Mexico than if she were today appealing to Congress to become states fifty one through sixty five of the United States of America. Should Congress approve the application?

Use a mirror to point the laser beam back on the source -- here that would be Mexico. I do not want to see a consortium of violent gangs and violent leftists (as in Colombia) to share their vision of chaos and conflict with us here as a new way of thinking about the proper role for government. And that is what is being offered.

Then there is this:
