border walls
The US Senate has approved building a massive wall along the USA/Mexico border.
Pres. Bush wants National Guard to patrol the border.
So, the effective militarization of the border is happening.
I remember in the early 90's I was involved in tracking White supremist groups. One of their major tenets was securing the border with Mexico.
The White supremist groups would organize border patrols and advocate building a wall between the 2 countries.
These groups were viewed with as extremists. Now, their programs are supposed moderate positions!
The only reason our border with Mexico is being focused on as a "problem" is 1)at the urging of right-wing fascists, The Minuteman Project 2)as a distraction from real problems affecting this administration.
Most Americans polled supported immigrants and massive immigrant solidarity marches/demonstrations took place across the entrie country.
What was Pres. Bush's response?
Acting as if appeasing all sides involved, he adopted a position championed by Bill O'Reilly!
