Just read the alerts (Tancredo & the Assessment of Immigration policy)...I have been back and forth to work on the border for 16 years..and when at home get an unwelcome idiot media blast from our one newspaper, a Hearst paper, I believe, plus a gagging dose of the state travail over the confiscation of medical services, emergency rooms etc. by illegals..and more recently the flap over a murderer who Fox of Mexico wanted excused & sent home.
Here attached is something .. I hope might be some cannon fodder in what I feel is a 'bloodless revolution'..

To Mr. Marshall,
Your Sat 29 June column is indeed a sad story, and will no doubt touch a lot
of hearts. There has been and will always be a lot of these all over the world.
We cannot solve them all, and that of course is also sad. But there is another
reality here that is going unnoticed lost amid the tears & politics, and
that is the spectre of overpopulation.
If history teaches anything, and we seem unable to learn from history, perhaps the saddest thing, it is that you don't win against overpopulation. Look at Japan, India, Mexico, etc, etc..In 1951 I could smell Japan before I ever saw it, and every day there until I left for Korea you felt there was something fetid about the whole place...not just the 6 deep sampan homes of the harbor people and the harbor. Torrential rain could not wash the air clean. That is the future of this country that no amount of technological advance can gloss over if we continue with a sieve for a southern border.
It may be hard, but we had better learn to be realists, and that
means the best thing we can do for this country is to close that
border, now, period.
