Mr. Fast Munkey,You are putting words into my mouth that I did not say...or is this just your perception of what I said. I have never and will never say that anyone should be shot on an open forum. It is not my nature to threaten people's life especially in writing. I respect the Mexican's, I worked in an Avocado packing house while in high school, where I was one of two white boys. I was treated with respect and treated them with respect. Some of the workers were not here legally but that did not make them any less of a person to me. I have grown older and less tolerant of people taking a free ride on this county at our expense. Your other comment about the "poor sap" just trying to feed his family makes me wonder about the rest of the people in Mexico and how they manage to service. Maybe we only get the lazy ones that want to work half the year and make what they would make in their own county during the entire year. And the answer to your question is No! From what I have read of your comments here I believe you are a good American and proud of it, just like me!Jim

For the first time in Salinas, the Mexican consul general from San Jose, Marco Antonio Alc?zar, celebrated Mexican Flag Day at Bardin Elementary School on Monday. "This is exciting because there are many children in this city, who were born in United States, whose parents are Mexicans," Alc?zar said. "And these children have the opportunity now to enjoy two different nationalities and be proudly American and proudly Mexican." Thanks to a law enacted in March 1998, all U.S.-born children of Mexican parents have the right to automatically obtain Mexican citizenship, he said. In front of more than 200 children from fifth and sixth grades, most of whose parents are originally from Mexico, Alc?zar presented the Mexican flag to sixth-grader, Yesenia Hern?ndez, and an escort of five girls. The Mexican national anthem also was performed amid a respectful silence from students, teachers and guests. "I'm proud to carry the Mexican flag," said Hern?ndez, whose parents are from the city of Chavinda, Michoac?n. Hern?ndez, whose parents are from the city of Chavinda, Michoac?n. Alc?zar also gave the school two Mexican flags and a complete collection of educational books from the Mexican government, intended to help students understand Mexican history and culture. "This is the first time a school in Salinas has celebrated this Mexican holiday," said Principal Jorge Olveda. Salinas Mayor Anna Caballero said the day was historic, "not only for the gift of the Mexican flag, but for the books, because literacy is very important -- reading and speaking Spanish." Also present as special guests were Monterey County supervisors Fernando Armenta and Lou Calcagno, Superior Court Judge Jose Angel Velazquez and Salinas City Councilman Ernesto Gonzalez.

I agree that this period is just a bump in the road of time. First generation Mexican American kids want 100.00 tennis shoes, want the latest and most expensive sony walkman, want to own expensive cars, wont do manual labor, and dont desire to speak Spanish. In short, their just like white kids.
Why is Pedro a registered Democrat voter here in the United States and a citizen of Mexico? I know Pedro and he is here legally to work, he is a nice moral man and hard working, but why was he registered to vote when he got his PA Drivers License when he is not a citizen of this country? Perhaps the reason why the border is left open is for political control by a particular party or interest group.
