For some unknown reason some will try to sneak into the US from Canada, most of us have no desire at all. While most Americans seem to be indoctrinated from childhood that the US is the greatest country on earth, us outsiders see things differently, unless we are looking from Mexico. |

Let me opine that I'm not the only U.S. citizen who thinks the U.S. has gone pretty much stark raving mad. There are plenty of deranged christians and republicans and blow-hard flag wavers, but there are also at least 100 million of us who are absolutely appalled at what has been happening here in the last 40 years. Sometimes foreigners speak disparagingly about "Americans" as though we were all of one mind. Someone did a survey that revealed something like 10% of Americans would not vote for a Mormon presidential candidate, but 49% would not vote for an atheist. This idiotic clinging to Christianity is but one of our collective incomprehensible stupidities. |

If you've been reading this group, you know that our friend Home Guy from up North bashes the U.S. constantly pointing out how terrible it is ignoring the fact that people are always trying to get in. He/she/it also ignores the weirdness that goes on in its own backyard. From South of the border people are actually dying to get in (no pun). Oh yea, folks do sneak in from Canada, just not as many as from Mexico. O_o TDD |

There are just a couple of instances when Republicans had control, but they tended to vote liberal. |

The Daring Dufas unnecessarily full-quoted:
Home Guy, you're still ignoring the weirdness that goes on in your tiny population. 33 million isin't exactly tiny, and what-ever weirndness we have isin't crippling us (socially, economically). In the USA, you've got the weirdness dialed up to 11. Besides, I don't think you have The Affirmative Action problem that plagues The United States. ^_^ That's only one of your many problems... |

I think we have 10 times your population so there has to be a lot more weirdness simply because there are more people and the population density is much higher. Use what little brains you have. ^_^ TDD |

While most Americans seem to be indoctrinated from childhood that the US is the greatest country on earth, us outsiders see things differently, unless we are looking from Mexico. Even Mexicans don't want to come here anymore, which is why farm jobs have gone begging throughout Arizona, Colorado, and California. Many farms in the Fresno, Hanford, and Bakersfield areas were paying up to $20 an hour a couple months ago for farmworkers, but couldn't get takers. It's estimated that about 20% of crops in the Southwest went to waste because the farmers couldn't get enough people to pick them. Now, as for Mexicans in other occupations, I know from my own experience that many are no longer coming to the USA. One big reason is that wages don't go very far in the USA, compared with pesos in Mexico. |
