Illegal immigration not the real issue
Bill English

When former Mexican President Vicente Fox made his first state visit to the United States and the White House, it’s rumored that one of the first things he did was demand the return to Mexico the states of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, California and Nevada.

It’s my understanding that every time President Bush eats a burrito he still gets a good laugh out of that one. Upon his return to Mexico, President Fox created a cabinet position entitled Ministry of Affairs in Azatlan. What? We’ve been invaded by animals from Narnia and no one bothered to tell us?

And what right does a foreign president have in creating a ministry to attend to the affairs of illegal aliens from his country? One of the ministry’s apparent responsibilities is to ensure the safety and well-being of those crossing the border. You know, make sure that they have enough food, water, maps and clear directions to rest areas set up by sympathizers on this side of the border. Someone care to tell me what’s wrong with this picture?

With the current political climate, it seems that one issue we haven’t heard a lot about, with the exception of candidate Ron Paul, is that of illegal immigration. For some reason, it is not being openly discussed, with the exception

of Hillary saying that “they are necessary to our economyâ€

The real issue here is if the American public runs this nation or big business.

Either We The People control our destiny or we are all but slaves to big business.
