Hanson makes a case that “culture clash” may NOT produce the desired “Ambassadors” for the USA in their home country, but may do the opposite – alienation.

Returning from freedom in the USA to their opressive homeland may be more than some can manage.

The legal residents and citizens don't have anyone to buy the stuff at their corner store or bring their kids to daycare. It was a "boo-hoo, we sure need these immigrants to survive" story. Now I can't find it. Did anyone else see it? Earlier today I read an article about how a little town in Georgia has been almost shut down after INS raids.

We need to be given back to Mexico or made into another France. I loved their Mayday protest. I was able to drive around with no traffic! If Bush is so into fighting the war on terror, why doesn't he do something about the terrorists getting in from the southern border. ARGGGHHH!!!

That's exactly what responsible citizens, at least the ones who care about this country, should do: research, investigate, and EXPOSE. The Bush adminstration will not get away with ignoring citizens.

I've actually been debating for a couple of months about exposing a practice in my state involving illegals that I find appalling. Forgive me for not divulging any information, as I do not want to spread lies. I need to do some research and find out the extent of what is taking place.

What I want to do is become more involved in exposing this mess. Investigative reporters should be doing this stuff, BUT THEY'RE NOT. Rooting out corruption and alerting the public is their job, but they don't seem to care, unless it involves wiretapping. :? I would vote for Tancredo in a heartbeat, but I'm afraid he's too far to the right for the Republican National Committee. Good question, suek.

If you'd read the post and related sources, you'd know that Gonzalez cares little about whether his employees properly conduct background checks on foreigners entering the country or becoming citizens. It's likely that he's shaken hands with new citizens whose backgrounds raised serious national security concerns but were ignore for the sake of expediency. And he's not concerned.
