Countries don't become great by walling themselves off. American Indian tribes didn't build this country immigrants from foreign countries did. Wasn't it the Statue of Liberty that said, Give us your...?" Conservative idiots are split on this issue; however, progressive thinkers are united.

It's important to keep in mind the needs of all people, regardless of who they are or where they are from.

To single out a visiting head of state and protest their visit as the Utah Minuteman did is offensive to Americans and to Mexicans. I didn't see them in Washington, D.C. protesting Tony Blair's visit with President Bush. They were to busy telling the Mexican President that his kind might as well stay in Mexico. Of course, Tony Blair's kind is welcome in D.C., and in Utah. After all, Fox is a Mexican, and Blair is a Englishman.
