'Like the rest of us
'08/15/07 04:20:55Why are we panicking about Mexican immigration? I've lived my entire life in California and have found my neighbors of Mexican descent to be largely decent, hardworking people who are trying to get ahead -- just like the rest of us.

None of the 9/11 terrorists were Mexican or came into the U.S. through Mexico. If we blocked off the entire border with Mexico, we would still have a 3,000-mile open border with Canada -- just walk across and you're in the U.S.

All we are accomplishing with this misguided anti-immigrant campaign is to hurt U.S. business and harass the wrong people.
