>It is being reported that in his televised speech tonight President Bush will deploy tens of thousands of National Guard troops along the U.S.-Mexico border to assist the border patrol (http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/05/15/immigration/index.html).

>My feelings about this issue, as well as this incumbent, are well known here by now so I won't rehash them. I will just say I regret he is doing this in response to political pressure. Whether I like it or not, the opinion polls show a majority of Americans want to stem, if not reverse, the immigration of Mexicans into this country. And now an embattled President is going to seize this emotional issue in an attempt to climb out of the ditch he has dug for himself.

>Whatever the short term outcome, I think this will be viewed as a shameful chapter in our nation's history. The current political climate reminds me uncomfortably of Germany circa 1935. "Deport them", "secure our borders", etc. -- these are code phrases that exhibit the darker side of the American dream.

If you have followed the immigration issue with Mexico, Vicente Fox attempted to have dialogue with Bush beginning in 2001 on this issue. There has been no movement from Bush towards discussing this issue with Mexico. Instead, we will send troops. That will solve all issues related to this topic.

I think that it is time for a return to the draft! We need more men and women in the field to control our “enemies” and social issues. Perhaps we should become like Sparta – a military state. Today Tijuana, tomorrow the world!

Now would dialogue, diplomacy and cooperation with our neighbors have helped to solve this problem? Arrogance, belligerence indifference, and a military solution are the response.

How should a third world country feel when the world’s only superpower lines up troops on its border? That should help to deteriorate relations with not only Mexico but also Latin America and other countries. How to make friends and influence people. I don’t care what anyone thinks – I’m bigger than you are!

Maybe we could nuke those nasty people? How about nuking the illegal aliens? We might loose a few Americans in the process but then the world will know that we are serious!

Stay tuned for the 6PM news for an update! :)
