What I wish Condi would do ...

... but I'm not holding my breath. Dr. Rice is on the road to Mexico

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will make a 14-hour visit to Mexico today to polish up the sometimes testy U.S.-Mexican relations before a summit later this month between President Bush and the leaders of Mexico and Canada.
Testy? Would that be due to the millions of illegal aliens pouring across a border and sucking up American taxpayer supported services?
U.S. Ambassador Antonio ''Tony'' Garza, a South Texas native, agitated Mexicans by criticizing the nation's ''inability to come to grips'' with organized crime and by talking tough on economic reform.
Poor babies, upset by the truth.

Since this seems to be a "fine tuning" mission I don't think Dr. Rice will be talking tough with Vicente Fox. In my dreams I would wish she would be sending the same message to Fox we are sending to Syria and Iran -- Shape up or suffer the consequences.

:::sigh::: A native of So. Cal can dream, can't she?

It is a huge issue, but so is the fact that so many people employ these workers because they are the only ones willing to do the work at the rate being paid. It's a complex issue. I don't have the answers.
