Normally, I'm no disciple of Sassyone, nor of her rather eccentric (in my opinion) view of things. But I HAVE to step in here. If, as she says, she's going to Mexico to help folks there, then that's a calling of the noblest sort. She's neither aiding nor is she "embedding" criminals. It's not a "crime" to be a poor Mexican, and I commend her for helping them. Perhaps her efforts in some small way will convince a few of these people not to BECOME criminals by illegally entering the US.

Sassyone, if you're out there, good for you. We don't agree on much, but I applaud you....at least while you're out of the country!..

Thank you Mac, I truly appreciate it. We have been accused of giving them information on how to get here. That is totally untrue, they are told...please do not try to cross the sonoran desert, it is very dangerous. But again thank you.

So you expect to be credited?

You don't need to do that. The Mexican government already prints up comic book style pamphlets telling them how to get here.

They sure do. They also build more consulates in the US than any other country to ensure that unless they are deported, their poverty stricken masses have no need to return.

In this very heated controversy, EVERY side has at least an occasional brush with rational thought. When that happens, even when it's infrequent, I like to give credit. As I said, I wholeheartedly commend your charitable works on your visits South of the Border. It's when you return here that we part company. But at least we agree on SOMETHING...right?

I don't know about you, but there have specifically been threads started on this forum regarding news stories of citizens severely beating & killing illegal immigrants...SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY'RE ILLEGAL. Does that help? So yes, yes it does happen whether you choose to believe it or not.

Kafar, I'm not so sure they do not know about but, you can pretty much bet that they don't care.

yes, it does happen but it would not happen if they weren't illegal and in this country in the first place. Of course you don't seem to care about all of the crimes committed toward American citizens by illegals in our country. I guess that it doesn't mean that much to you.
