“El Mas Grande Enemigo,â€

Well, if comic books work to tell them how to get here and bleed us for social services, I am, for one, in hopes that songs with stupid accordians will keep them home! We're not dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer, now are we?

Whatever works to encourage them to stay on their side of the border unless they have obtained a valid visa. The comics and music are necessary means of communication since the targeted audience is the rural poor of Mexico where the majority of adults are barely literate if at all.

I understand that....which is exactly why we don't need them here.

Exactly...American families and taxpayers can ill afford to continue to import more poverty from around the world....without affecting our own citizens and legal residents. If OBAMA had any real courage...he'd also suspend or severely limit all immigrant visa approvals until our economy and all states are in better economic health.

I agree. And, we need more immigrants that are of benefit to this nation; not the ones who drain us.
