This is a conservative estimate from California mind you.

Hey, Red, I read the same article. I didn't know you hit the SF newspaper.

I've been trying to keep track of their city-wide gun ban, but no news yet.

Yes, our southern brothers are here in droves. I'm starting to see groups of them, always at least three, for safety, or someone to talk to who understands what the heck they are saying.

Seeing a few cocky young bucks at the tavern on Friday afternoons, too.
These ones are looking for a fight.

It was on the DrudgeReport.

If it's meaningful news he's got it.

I was listening to "Discovery Times" this morning about how people south of Mexico, Honduras would sneak into Mexico on they're way to the US ... if they could make it to the train tracks and didn't get robbed, Mexican Police would let them / help them sneak on to freight trains headed north ... then they were nearly "home free". However if they didn't have money to bribe the police (even as little as 100 peso's) they would be deported ... These "migrants", even kids as young as 7 years old were found traveling alone trying to make their way to the US.

Getting into Mexico was the key, and not easy. Roving bands of thieves armed mostly with machete's and an occasional fire arm would rape and kill for refusal of bending to their will and would kill for even a few peso ... not sure when this was made, they said 100 peso's was about $10

50% of Mexico's petroleum production is also "living" in the United States. Mexico pumps 3.42 million barrels a day and sends 1.85 million bpd into the good old USA, which is 15% of our total imported crude.

Hey Vincente, let's make a deal. You can keep your precious oil if you will keep your people, too?!?!? I can live with that if Senor Fox can!

So what? Does that justify our being invaded by illegal aliens in your mind?

I think a few figures are off because if Mexico's population is only 107 million close to 10% live in L.A. County alone.

I took my daughter to a charity feed the children event last Saturday in vacaville.She participated in the handout of food and supplies to poor people.I didnt have much to do except wait and watch.Out of I would calculate about 150 families that turned up two were white and two were black.The white and black families all turned up in old cars,all the rest who turned up were hispanic and nearly all of them turned up in vehicles that I cant afford.Lots of new 4 door ford 150 pick ups,A new SAAB,cadilacs,lincolns.And they even had to have an interpeter there as some of them couldnt speak English.As far as I am concerned they are nothing more than ponces(mond will you what ponce means) and scum.
