Welcome to America!

Lot of clothes to be wearing to cross the border this time of year.

I've long posted in the extreme Conservative faction when it comes to Border control; and I still believe that Borders should be lockdown. And that immigration should be qualified, prompt and liberal. If one is qualified, and escaping a terrorized homeland for the American/Capitalist version, come one in an get to work. We need good workers, and upstanding individuals.

That said, I watched a Doc ("Borderland") last night on Al Jazeera, I think. It followed a group on the 'death train' ride across Mexico. And got up close and personal with a lot of the folk on that train.

Now take my commentary with such that it deserves, in that I did vote for Obama the first time...but I like the people I saw on that train. One can not fake those personal visuals; though the editors may well have censored the trouble folk. We are not short of land up here; it's the Urban areas where the real trouble is.

I'd have no problem with a lot of those El Salvador folk as my neighbor. Minus the thugs, of course.

those poor kids! someone do something!!!!
