BOOKER RISING - Mexico Looking for U.S. Migration Accord By Molotov Mexico hopes that Latin America will get more attention during President Bush's second term and obtain changes in what it calls "absurd" U.S. immigration policies. During bilateral talks on Monday, Mexico will push for a long-awaited accord on "migrants' rights." Contrary to liberal assertions, immigration to America ain't a right. It's a privilege. Mexico seeks to push its poverty problem onto us, instead of improving its paltry economic and educational systems. And who primarily bears the brunt of illegal immigration? Low-income black folks. But are our overwhelmingly liberal black 'leaders' looking out for common coloreds? Of course not. And both political parties are wrong on this issue. Two things must happen: (1) militarize our southern border, to stem illegal immigration and terrorist entry. If USA can protect South Korea's borders, then why not ours?; and (2) nationalize Arizona's ballot initiative, which will keep illegal immigrants from voting and obtaining government services.

Precisely. MTV would like to think that they have a compelling political impact upon their clientele, but at the end of the day, the kids just wanna skate and see Briney Spears' and Justin Timberlake's nubile bimboness. It's admirable that MTV would like to see kids vote. Heck, I'd like to see every kid win a Nobel Prize for inventing a cure for every disease known to man. And even attend class without ditching once or twice every other month. If they learned enough math to actually count change for a burger at McDonald's, all the moreso better! But that isn't happening within our lifetime and MTV should divorce itself from the notion that it makes any kind of political difference. Shouldn't even even make the papers as an "avenue of political awareness". At least until they figure out the "counting back change" part for a burger.
