    Why are the ONLY country not allowed to enforce its borders? Try doing that in China, or Mexico, or Korea, etc. Legal immigrants are wanted, and allowed.

    How about turn of the century with signs that said, “No Irish Need Apply”?

    The minimum wage laws were passed to protect white union workers from the “coloreds” coming from the South.

    I am a libertarian-conservative, one who believes government is not competent to calculate the number of immigrants we need. “Citizenship” is a different issue entirely, and a minimum of 10 or 15 years residence and paying taxes ought to be a pre-requisite. I suspect many of the anti-immigrationists are actually distressed by the level of welfare spending and wrongly attribute that to the new arrivals.

    Illegal immigrants should be concerned about being deported. The problem is there is no reason to be. Something like 40% of residents of illegal immigrants are on some sort of welfare. Illegal immigrants also account for a significant amount of the money lost by hospitals due to an inability to pay. The number may even be higher. According to one study, illegal immigrants account for 37% of federal prison populations. Murder rates among illegal immigrants runs anywhere from 3-10 times higher than the legal population. I would even suggest removing illegal immigrants would go a long way towards raising wages in this country. A process such as e-verify would make it impossible for illegals to get a job. Most would probably leave this country if they could not get a job and could not get access to welfare. Of course Mitt Romney was a monster for suggesting self-deportation. If you are in favor of allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the country, just say so. But please keep your arguments fact based. Nobody is suggesting deporting legal immigrants.

    Better stay tuned for the Congress-passed Freedom Act I presume.

    Dreams are the magic mirror that never lies. The interpretation of them is one of the things U.S. education (and medicine) have totally missed. A nightmare is one of the healthiest dreams you can have because it is a manifestation of something that needs to be resolved by you that you are refusing to admit or see. Few of us keep track of them (learning how is easy) or pay real attention to dreams. When you do, it is amazing what you learn and understand.

    OK, enough. I am an "Anglo: with deep sympathy and affection for “Mexicans” (the term I learned more than 3/4 of century ago and I don’t feel the need to stay with the day-to-day drift of political correctness) and I added several “Mexican comics” (what ever that turns out to mean) as I stumbled across them.

    Yours is the last of them still in the list, because of incessant hammering on politics that just don’t fit.

    If you don’t like the way the elected officials treat you, stop voting for them!

    Your strip has good values—don’t screw it up.

    This will be my last comment on the topic.
