[Vision2020] The immigration debate

[g. crabtree]

Carl asks " 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?"  The answer, 
of course, is yes even more so. Mexican cuisine is at least non toxic. When 
given the choice between a hearty Norwegian repast and slow painful death 
much thinking must occur.
