"treated like dogs in the kennels of the migra" - ah, you've noticed this bit of hypocrisy among the (SOME my addition) AmerikaFirsters who have pressured for total power by the INS to beat back a people

That part of your post is 100 % true. And, in fact, some of the repubs, who are now railing against Reno, have absolutely no problem with using that type of force against unauthorized immigrants. They have given the attorney general near plenary powers with regard to "illegals."

Now, these "freedom loving" repubs get to see up front and close what government power is. I hope they are embarrassed.

Maybe some good will come out of this, but the polls say otherwise.

people from whom the land was stolen and is to this day occupied in violation of the terms of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

Indeed...

The funny thing is, these new self-righteous, bible thumping Amerikaner baboons, truly believe that the US became the great country that it is, by behaving like a cross breed of the sisters of charity with a bunch of innocents boy scouts.

I do believe the reality is a little different. (Somehow General¡simo Santa Anna had something to contribute, in fact he should appear in some of the US Dollar bills, as a small tribute for his contribution)

However, I believe that very quietly, the sheer birth rate of the Hispanic population is slowly taking back the land once lost. [Ooops, I should not say that, it is not politically polite... awwhh screw that! I 'll say it anyway!]. As it is, currently, the 31 million Hispanics are growing faster than any other "group"

hispanic-research.com

<snip>

Annual growth exceeds 2% a year. Higher than the population growth at the peak of the baby boom era.

...

By 2010 Hispanics are projected to become the second largest race/ethnic group (surpassing blacks to become the largest minority

......

The sheer growth of this segment of the US population should be a wake up call for those companies that are not currently targeting Hispanic Americans.

Another irony is that the very radical "prolifers" are assisting in the Hispanic cause big time.

What the average "media brain washed Anglo" thinks that the "average" Hispanic is still the "bracero" of the 50's and 60's...

They seem not to comprehend that they can actually get an education and increase their earning power. Foolishly they assume that this group will join the ranks of zombie-like fundamentalists.

Boy ! are they in for a surprise... ha ha ha ha ha...

I am having fun watching the saga unfold !

Soon the US will be considered part of Latin America... How you say se¤or ? "Reversed Conquista" ?

Best to keep quiet, best secret in town.. he he he he he...
