Thank you Alex for your kind suggestion that I might need a tissue, I find that Right Wingers are constantly concerned with the needs of others. As for Spain or Mexico, I have to give you the lesson that my mother taught me, two wrongs do not make a right. But specifically my interest with Central America is that it is America, our sphere of influence and has been since the promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine. It is ours to protect and to defend. As a matter of fact, I live in Honduras and am much more concerned with the development of this poor country than with immigration into the United States. I will leave the question of immigrant labor to business owners in the States. Good for you that you were able to take advantage of liberal immigration laws. I hope that you enjoy the wonderful country that my ancestors created, and hope that you will extend the welcome to others.

Donald you need a tissue? Why doesn’t Spain help out Central America it has exploited it for much longer and where are you getting your facts that the US has exploited it for 200 years. If people want to come here thats perfectly fine, why not do it legally? I did it legally so can everyone else that wants to come here. Before you start crying about our immigration laws look at Mexican immigration laws, they are a lot harsher than ours. They might be your brothers, if you care so much for them why not go help them in Mexico to come here legally.

How un-Christian, how anti-family, how sad. We have neglected and exploited Central America for 200 years and now we are shocked that there is poverty. Only when communists threaten the oligarchies that are the so called legitimate governments, or when masses of people flee looking for a crust of American white bread, do they come to our attention. These are our brothers, and the same people who moaned that communism was gaining a foothold two days drive from our border, are now moaning that Central Americans believe in the American dream.
