While the Supreme Court has decided to consider the case as to whether or not Arizona can determine on it's own how to deal with illegal immigration, an article in the The Washington Times on-line yesterday put the whole situation in a completely different perspective.
According to the article's author, Charles Hunt, "A new study from the highly esteemed Pew Hispanic Center, says the millions of Mexicans who risked their lives crossing the desert to get here to the promised land for a better life have given up on the U.S." He goes on to state that "This is no small feat." and asks "Have you ever been to Mexico? Not the ritzy beach towns with the gated resorts, but Nuevo Laredo? The dusty streets are filled with bony children selling gum and candy for just a few spare pennies."
So, to me this seems like another dramatic confirmation of the horrendous damage done to the greatest economy on the planet in a matter of only three years. Because, as I've noted many, many times in the past, I've never much cared about what folks tell me about themselves, and learned long, long ago to ignore speeches promises, hype and smoke. To me all that matters is actual results.
And as far as I'm concerned, you couldn't find more damning evidence of a failed administration than folks who'll willingly return to a virtual hell on Earth because the one they've illegally snuck into is someplace that's far, far worse.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
