I just listened to a thoughtful commentary on the immigration issue, where 
the commentator echoed my concern about this escalating problem.  (Note:  it 
was on NPR and I am a liberal, or "lib", or whatever).  While I'm sure the 
vast majority of those vehemently opposed to the presence of illegal 
immigrants are not motivated by racism, there is most certainly a sizable 
percentage who are fueled by xenophia.  I just found out that there's an 
internet video game where you can shoot Mexicans as they cross the border, 
complete with spraying blood and everything.  Cute.  Would there be the huge 
national outcry, I have to wonder, if our southern border was occupied by 
Norway and we were talking about illegal Norwegian immigrants?  I am myself 
torn about the issue, incidentally.  No doubt there is a problem.   Carl
