Were there deals made behind the backs of the American people, to allow illegal immigration to take over our nation?
What promises were made to Mexico, who encourages its people to come up here and work?
What is up with all the "Express money back to Mexico" joints all over the place?
If Mexico is so poor, how can they be buying our politicians so well, or...is it the rich (companies) who are buying them?

Our "representatives" are not representing us. It truly is "Taxation without representation."

I have heard that too, that our leaders want a North American Union, pretty much like the European Union.
It is like our leaders are playing Risk.

Translation, without using sarcasm:

"Yes, I do think that deals were made behind our backs---it is obvious that this is the case".....
(Just like the Pope is obviously a catholic, and a bear obviously "poops" in the woods, and I obviously DO know these facts).......

Maybe the best years of the United States of America, were just after it was founded.

This simplistic statement undoubtedly contains much truth. When your back is to the wall, the wolf is at the door, and the whole world is against you, it's a simple task to be "focused", and to see the really important things in life.
200 years later, we have enough to eat, we (most of us) don't die from heat, cold, or arrows, and we have the "luxury" of sitting around, thinking up ways to "get into mischief", and to begin questioning our own motives. People operate best under adversity....but who would willingly choose it?...

Deals have ALWAYS been made behind the backs of the American people. The difference today is that we have much more access to information than at any other point in history and we're just learning how to use that access to the people's advantage. If there's any finger pointing to be done, they need to point at EVERY congressman/woman, EVERY administraton, at EVERY level of government, back as far as 1792, inclusive.

Just because some people have their feathers ruffled doesn't mean that all the fingers have to point to the one single guy in charge. Today is nothing different from yesterday. It's the same ol' BAU. Now, do something about it.

Congress... 535 reasons to support term limits, with no benefits and no grandfathering tenure.
