Mexico and other Latin American countries have failed their people by not "joining" the global economy. Other countries have realized that investors worldwide require open and clear accounting practices, so to speak, and these countries continue to resist that so there is not much investment there. Corruption is a key problem. Two funds I invest in reward Latin American governemnets and companies for playing buy the rules. Their annual reports make for some interesting reading (and they have pretty nice returns too).

We don't need to take responsibility for illegals. The fact is, they seem to take care of themselves, for the most part. Most tend to lie low and go about making some money by quietly doing work many Americans won't do. It's been this way for decades, we just don't see it much up here in New England. This is probably why our own government has done little to stop the immigration. If we continue to do nothing differently, the illegal immigration will continue as it has all along without ever overtly affecting the likes of you and I and we wonlt have to spend billions of dollars trying to stop it. It's only recently become a "problem" because we are told it's a problem, oddly enough by folks that for the most part call themselves Christians. A real Christian would be far more compassionate and push for open immigartion laws regardless of any hardship it may cause them.

My reply to your tongue-in-cheek shooting statement was also tongue -in-cheek. I don't really advocate gas chambers either.

I am an atheist, however, I am *totally*
