...But a funny thing happened on the way to
Mr. Spencer's rally
-- the number of illegal immigrants detained while crossing the
U.S.-Mexico border dropped dramatically. From October through
January, detentions along the the border were down 22% over the
same period a year ago. Blame opportunity. The Mexican economy
is stronger than it's been in seven years. Since taking office
last December, Mexican President Vicente Fox has promised to
tear down the monument to economic corruption and inefficiency
left behind by 71 years of (PRI) rule; many
would-be border crossers are already choosing to stay home and
seek out new opportunities.

vile attacks; they are branded as mean-spirited, racist, Uncle
Tom, homophobic, sexist, etc.,....we censor ourselves. This is
not civility, it is COWARDICE, a well-intentioned self-deception
at best." -- Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas, February 13, 2001
Mexican
immigration looms as a unique and disturbing challenge to our
cultural integrity, our national identity, and potentially to
our future as a country. -- Samuel Huntington, Weatherhead
