One of the most amazing evolutions is going on in this country and I don't see a single topic related to it: Illegal Immigration.
Currently, there are an estimated 11 million illegal aliens in USA. The special interests that want this silent invasion to continue, like to use the term "undocumented worker." I count Bush and both political parties in that crowd, because they take no real action to secure our borders.
I fully understand why someone wants to come to America. Actually, there are a number of reasons besides work. However, Americans who want to keep the golden egg going strong have a viewpoint as well.
If you think the country is split now, wait until the Hispanics wake-up and start exercising their political muscle. This will affect domestic and foreign policy in ways that we can only speculate until the changes start to affect the polls (i.e. where political parties decide how far to go on issues). My expectation is that the "needs" of massive amounts of low-wage workers will increasingly suck the pocketbooks of the taxpayers which will decrease standard of living and affect ability of American businesses to compete globally.
We are quickly headed towards a two-language country... and a two-country country. Start learning and teaching Spanish. The tide is unstoppable at the moment, like the water over the New Orleans' levees.
Oh, well. Off the soapbox and back to the chips and salsa.
