Piper hijacked in Mexico. Reason? Nuke Smuggling
tscottme wrote: But Mexican borders aren't tight enough, as tight as they may be. Apparently, this is good news for Boeing: http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/...60921a_nr.html I saw a quickie news brief on it and they didn't go into details on the extent of the surveillance coverage areas, but I imagine it'll at least focus on the known hot spots. Not sure exactly what this all has to do with protecting against a Piper, unless someone's attempting to push it over the border on the ground Regards, Jon |

I also know the Los Angeles Times (a liberal supporter of illegal immigation in general) has twice published a survey that 70% of the (remaining) citizens of Mexico would immigrate to the United States, legally or illegally if they thought they could get work (keep in mind this includes skilled and educated Mexicans, unlike the genrally very poorly educated folks who have come across to date (some 12 million of them, at least). I find that hard to believe. I've rarely met anyone in Mexico (taxi driver, bus boy, etc) who hasn't been to the U.S. They seem to want to return. If 70% of Mexicans wanted to enter the U.S and stormed the border, I don't think we'd stand a chance. I am tired of my area hospital rooms being loaded up will illegals using the ER as their free family doctor. Agreed, but I'm not sure what it has to do with the ability for terrorist to enter Mexico. I don't think many people would choose a Mexican prison over a U.S. prison. -Robert |

That was all about *legal* immigration, written at a time when this country was underpopulated. Nothing is frozen in time, not even that rhetoric. |

If 70% of Mexicans wanted to enter the U.S and stormed the border, I don't think we'd stand a chance. Believe it or not, the Los Angeles Times published it. There are degrees of motivation. The Times did not give the impression that most of those interviewed were ready to "storm the border." Rather, they were expessing a prefence.

According to the least controversial numbers I've come across (10 million illegal + 100000/yr legal), it seems to be between 10 and 20% Would you be surprised to learn that the majority choose to stay in Mexico? [...] If I lived in a nation where a mere majority of its citizens actually wanted to live there, I would not be too proud. - FChE |

Back then there were even quotes for different countries. X number from
England, Y number from China etc. It certainly wasn't ever an open door. Besides, we know who carved Lady Liberty and it wasn't an American. -Robert Sam Spade wrote: Frank Stutzman wrote: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
