If you can have a 15 vote majority and still lose that's sad! Based on this Republican victory, the immigration legislation victory is soon to follow as well. The Democrats must be depressed, in control of both houses of Congress and the President and Republicans still do whatever they want, in effect it almost like the 2006 Election never happened, nothings changed!! But thats very dangerous for Republicans too, because now the American people think it has to get rid of all of them!!

It is imperative that we, the American people, insist that before any immigration reform proposals are proposed, debated or even entertained, that:

%u25AA The federal government first successfully and completely secure our borders.

%u25AA Government officials enact policy that ties any future US foreign aid to Mexico and any future trade agreements with Mexico with the reform of their government and economic community

Mexico is a country rich with natural resources. With its wealth of petroleum, silver, copper, gold, lead, zinc, natural gas and timber, it has all the resources a country would need to keep it from becoming a destitute Third World country.

Further, the median age in Mexico is 25.6 years of age and the literacy rate for the total population is at 92.2%. This demographic, combined with their abundant natural resources and central location in the Western Hemisphere, are a perfect catalyst for an employment sector that would %u2013 under normal circumstances %u2013 compete on the First World economic stage.

According to a recent report produced by the World Bank titled, Democratic Governance in Mexico: Beyond the Capture of the State and Social Polarization, a majority of the identifiable problems facing the Mexican economy are directly related to bureaucratic corruption.

From the %u201Cuntouchable%u201D special interest monopolies that stifle the competitive environment to the ineffective and corrupt tax system that feeds the status quo, the Mexican government has consistently refused to do the hard work of governmental and economic reform, instead opting for short-cuts that allow corruption to thrive.

A byproduct of these short-cuts is that they allow the corrupt special interest robber-barons to run roughshod over the Mexican economy, facilitating an economic environment that encourages the mass emigration of Mexican citizens to the United States. In essence, the Mexican government, through its lack of courage to engage in governmental and economic reforms, which would strengthen its economy to the benefit of its citizens, is exporting its most crucial economic problems %u2013 unemployment and an impoverished citizen class %u2013 to the United States.

Gonzales is the poster child for voting against immigration reform in its current form.

Gonzales is prime example of the corrupt Mexican people in powerful positions. As USAG he has corrupted the justice deparmtent on level never before seen.
