A Message from Mexico
   "Samuel Huntington, a friend of VDARE.COM, has described it this way: 'Mexican immigration is a unique, disturbing, and looming challenge to our cultural integrity, our national identity, and potentially to our future as a country.'"
   "My own experience and observation here in Mexico have brought me along to the same point of view. The present mass immigration of Mexicans to the U.S., combined with multiculturalism, can only end in the disaster for the United States. Take it from me, 'Good fences make good neighbors'."

Gubernatorial race leaves Latinos on the outside looking in
When Jim McGreevey talks to Latinos, he can't seem to help himself. -- He may really mean well -- I try not to doubt him -- but the Democratic candidate for governor sounds rehearsed and superficial. -- That was his problem four years ago, when his failure to connect with Latinos probably cost him a close election to Christie Whitman. -- But now, running safely ahead of Republican Bret Schundler, apparently McGreevey feels the same old rhetoric is enough to get by.

Turning to citizenship for safety
Immigrants have seen the signs of trouble before, and they are getting ready. -- In Washington, legislators decry the free flow of immigrants across U.S. borders.
