Hugh,
We are not allowed to call our boat people illegal immigrants but rather 
asylum seekers, While I wouldn't like to see what happened to the Jewish 
people repeated, I do think most of them are economic migrants which 
again would be halfway expectable if it was family's with children who 
showed up instead of boatload after boatload of young fit men who don't 
like us any way.
I'm sure Colin will be able to tell us about the Mexican situation
