Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc . . . And The Border
Headline in today's L.A. Times: "Drop in Illegal Border Crossings a Sign of Success, Bush Aide Says."
Turns out the Bush administration claims: i) illegal crossings are down; and ii) this resulted from increased border security.
Here's an alternative hypothesis: anyone who wanted to come is already here! The drop in illegal border crossings is indeed a sign of success -- the success of those who wanted to walk into our country!

The Bush administration has little credibility on the issues of illegal immigration and border enforcement and I don't trust a word they say about this.
Could the weather have anything to do with it???????/
Duh!
We had record breaking heat for 1 month which is probably the real reason border jumpers stayed home!
One thing for sure...it has NOTHING to do with Chertoff, Bush or the NG! They will get here by hook or by crook...you can count on that!
Walter Moore, I have to say that you are RACIST. I, on the other hand am a passionate advocate for the migrant worker. Because of the Todd Spitzer episode on Tuesday, the press tried to portray me as a foot-stomping, door-slamming, cursing crybaby. But they were wrong. I am PASSIONATE about the struggle to protect migrant workers' rights, and that's why I behave(d) that way.
And if you keep saying these nasty things about migrant workers, I will have Steve Maviglio start incessantly calling you and threatening you with lawsuits for your racist comments.
FaaaaaaaBiiiiiiiiian is a cry baby,
sisssy,numnut,wuss,girlieman,FOB, it is just a matter of time be fore we vote you out sucker!
you are worthles ! go back to mexico go help those people since you care more for them than the AMERICAN citizen you CHUMP you have no power, go get a real job!
To the Phony Fabian:
You may be "passionate about migrants"...but we evil racists are talking about illegal alien INVADERS...not migrants. Cesar Chavez was the champion of migrants...and you, phony Fabian, are no Cesaar Chavez!
Let me educate you, since you apparently were educated in Tijuana from what I understand.
1. Migrants are mobile, seasonal workers who spend a few months in the US legally on AG visas, and then RETURN TO MEXICO AFTER THE VARIOUS AG SEASONS END.
2. IMMIGRANTS are legal residents who entered the US through legal channels and apply and wait for their citizenship. They are HERE LEGALLY>
3. ILLEGAL ALIENS OR INVADERS are criminal law breakers who crawl thru tunnels and sewers violating our immigration laws to SNEAK into our country. The come here to colonize, balkanize, and defraud our social programs. They have NO RIGHTS!!!!! The 12-30M illegal alien invaders have resulted in an INVASION of our country.
And, BTW, Senor Nunez, you never came up with proof of your citizenship. We know you were born and raised in Tijuana, but did you just crawl over the border?
You and your reconquista amigos have only one goal....to take over the SW. We evil racists are here to send you back where you belong. Go fix your own country and leave us alone! We don't want you here and we don't have to let you stay here! Comprende?
Don't try to bullshit us! You're way over your head when you start messing with the evil racists!
To 11:10 a.m.
Hey you butt kissing Nunez goon...bring on the lawsuits! Make my day! Asshole!
Your boss showed his true colors and Todd Spitzer is running with it! But we have volumes of your hate speech on video!
Get you effing Mexican ass out of our country and take your best friend, Taco Villa, with you!
DO NOT support the phony Pence/Hutchinson immigration reform proposal. It's just another amnesty plan !
To 1:55 P.M. & 2:01 P.M.
I could not have said it any better.
Fabian Nunez your a frekin loser.
And by the way you look like a chihuahua and smell like one too!!
I cannot believe the divisiveness being expressed in this thread. I have spent my ENTIRE political career fighting for the rights of Californians.
What we need is NOT divisiveness and polarization, but unity. If we put our energies toward a common goal, we can achieve a solution to our broken immigration system which is fair, equitable and rational and does not discriminate on the basis of race.
Hey Fabian (if that is who you are)
what has an illegal alien done for me? They take my tax dollars out of my country, use my medical services and do not pay it back!,take up our class room space,as well as or highway space,drive without insurance that caues my rates to go up because they get into accidents not having ins., come into our communities with 10 or more in a two bedroom house playing there awful mexican music with a can of beer or a joint in one hand,and and the list can go on & on, as far as your so call political career fighting for the rights of californains you ass you have been fighting for the rights of your illegal aliens you fuckin WETBACK! get the fuck out of my COUNTRY you Ass Hole!!
You get me sick!!Your time is up!!
you chihuahua!
BUY MY BOAT!!!
Listen to nunez's greatest hits:

9:33 PM,
You are obviously a racist. I will be proposing an "anti-9:33 PM" resolution on the Assembly floor next week that will make anti-immigrant comments on blogs a punishable crime in California. The minimum punishment will be 6 months at Pelican Bay, with 20 hours of mandatory instruction in Nahuatl each week.
To 10:16 from 9:33
Oh, like I'm so scared!
The truth hurts doesn't it, you a-hole. Ha! Ha!
May I remind you that in AMERICA we have a thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH! As an American citizen I have that right. I can say anything I damn well please. Get back on your boat and go home to Mexico, punk. We don't want you here anymore. Go somewhere else and get a real job.
Hey Nunez- buy 9:39's boat! You're gonna need it! You can hire your illegal compadres to row it back to good old Mexico for you!
Please have another day without illegals! I had the best time ever not having to deal with them ruining my day.
PS. 9:33 is right about you, Nunez- you suck!
An Anti-9:33 resolution?!?!? This is how you spend my tax dollard, Nunez!?! My goodness, you got your head up your ass.
Do us all a favor, go home to Mexico. They are use to getting abused by their own kind.
10:59.
If you don't stop with your racist comments, there will be an anti-10:59 PM bill too. Mi compañera Gloria Romero will sponsor it and it will require anyone expressing anti-immigrant sentiment on the internet from a computer in California to undergo a 2-month sensitivity training course administered by our great Senator Gilberto Cedillo.
11:31 - I'm beginning to think you aren't Nunez after all, since you only seem to have time for empty threats and bogus resolutions. I don't know what sphere of relaity you are exisiting in, but as an American I have the right to express my opinions. Freedom of speech-ever heard of it?
I know Gloria, and she will laugh you right out of her office.
Later-you idiot.
10:59 p.m.
Nunez, stop picking on 9:33 and 10:59, you wuss. They got the right to speak their minds.
That's it. I'm furious. I just threw my cup of hot chocolate against the wall.
You can expect "anti-11:49 PM" and "anti-11:51 PM" bills to be brought before the Assembly by Wednesday of next week. Let's just say that these new proposals will make sure that anti-immigrant comments on these so-called "blogs" a thing of the past.
To 12:22 you idiot! get a life! better yet take a history class on AMERICAN HISTORY you A-hole!Learn what AMERICA stands for, American Citizens and not for Illegal ALIENS
Hey go to bed I hear Your momma yelling out to you!!!!!! And make sure you clean up your mess with the coffee Becaues if you dont she is going to buy that boat for you!!
and send you back were you came from TJ Ha HA HA!!!!!
11:49,
Gloria Romero is 100% pro-illegal. Please slap her very hard for me next time you see her.
Hey Numnuts(nunez)Did you get in trouble with the hot chocolate we all know you are a staffer get a real job, you lowlife.
Antonio, Fabian, Jose are all metrosexual men. When they are all together you can see the femine body language they all have. Why didn't anyone post about Cedillo's illegal driver's license bill being canned in legislature once again. Forget it, that thing will never ever fly again. The EAA should protest the same day as the Sept. 2nd Ilegal march. Watch our midget of a mayor out there with them again.
Cedillo is on his way out....
This election we have a choice!
Hasta la vista baby...
7:10,
No, of course I didn't get in trouble. Who can touch the Speaker of the Assembly? Maviglio wiped all that shit up and made me a new cup. The wall will be repainted this weekend.
P.S. That's what we mean when we say "si se peude."
