Curious as to wheether it's just anothere easy scapegoating attempt by the immigrant haters (who'll say just about anything) or whether they're getting it from somewhere. Or both.

12. Yep- that figures
It's not hard to tell where some of these morons get their (mis)information.

Making them appear even more stupid (or drawing out further -stupidity in subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) yet polite ways can sometimes be an amusing pastime.

Spring Break twits are the cause in New York.
Did our government not tell everyone NOT to go to Mexico for spring break? Because of the drug wars? Yet they went.

5. So Predictable, It's Boring...
I predicted this yesterday...sure enough. I saw the astroturfing start the usual way...blog posts and newspaper articles that then were regergitated on Washington Journal this morning and on its way to hate radio...now it's gone "viral".

Was there any doubt the second Mexico was mentioned, they wouldn't look to blame the "illegal aliens" (translation: anyone Mexican).

11. Do they have any idea how many LEGAL border-crossings, both ways, occur everyday?
This would have found it's way to the U.S. even with zero illegal immigration.
