Thats funny. I wonder if Mexicans were thinking the same thing when we took Texas away from them in the 1800's. Oh and illegal immigrants DO NOT make up 1/3 of our prison population.
Where are you getting that 1/3rd of the prison population is illegal immigrants stat from?
According to the US Department of Justice, http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/pjim05.pdf , in mid 1995, 6.4% of state and federal prison population was non-citizens. Even California only goes as high as 10%.
Having done a google search I see your stat posted a million times on paranoid right-wing sites, and never with an actual link to the source of the stat. The closest I've found is "I heard Lou Dobbs say". And to be honest, that's not really doing it for me.All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.

LOL!!!
This time the boy had to go back over a decade to find a convenient statistic!
Hey fella, I note that you have totally avoided my first rebuttal of your straw man argument. May I take that as a concession of your error?

BTW - According to the District Attorney for the County of Northampton, PA in a report dated 10/1/03, illegal aliens nationwide account for over 25% of the federal prison population. Here's a link to the report:
http://www.friendsfw.org/Legislation/Im ... HR2671.pdf
This article:
http://www.therealitycheck.org/StaffWri ... 051606.htm
places the percentage of federal inmates in 2004 at 27%.
I note that Lou Dobbs has previously reported the illegal alien percentage in our prisons as 33%, but I am not certain of his source.

One last point:
MrLeft makes the ludicrous claim that "we took Texas away from (the Mexicans) in the 1800s." So beyond being deceptive, MrLefty is apparently also poorly educated. "We" didn't take Mexico from the Mexicans. Texas was a region of Mexico that had been moving toward independence for some time due to discontent over the dictatorship of Santa Anna. Though many of the names we now identify with the Texas Revolution belonged to former Americans, there were many ethnic Mexicans who also rebelled. This was not a land grab, but rather the inhabitants of the region casting off an oppressive Mexican regime.
Here are some websites with a little bit of biographical and other information on some of the Tejano patriots who joined in the Texas War of Independence:

Crocket,
Thanks for covering my back buddy. I knew when he messed with Texas that you would set him strait. I noticed the old stats he was using too. I'm not going to waste my time, since you covered it well.
Don't be too hard on him Crocket. He got his history lesson from GW's campaing video. MrLeft, don't listen to GW, his historical remarks are all wrong.
Crocket, I guess the US Government owns Mexico City and all the locations we conqured getting to the interior of Mexico too, since we once flew a flag on the capital. Yes, America has conqured Mexico. MrLeft should have remembered that. In fact, the US conqured Mexico about 10 years after Texas gained it's independence. Santa Anna got "whipped" twice.
The most decorated Iowa soldier of the war was Benjamin S. Roberts of Fort Madison. Roberts went into the army as a lieutenant of mounted volunteers, at the beginning of the war. He was in General Scott’s army and participated in all of its battles. He led the advance into Mexico City and pulled down the Mexican flag with his own hands. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel. In 1849, the Iowa legislature voted him a sword in honor of his courageous service.
TexasCowgirl. Oh that video was bad.
