The view from Nuevo Laredo

The church denies any wrongdoing and says it is stepping in to fill the void created by the lack of a U.S. immigration policy... Huh? How about, "you need a visa to get in"? What else does one need to know?

Yes, I don't think any of us would have a problem in feeding someone in need. However, a blatent disregard for going through what is required to get into a county is the wrong way of migrating.

What's all entailed in getting U.S. citizenship? And these days (as opposed to the late-19th century), they can't let everyone in.

I met an Armenian cab-driver during my ride to LAX a couple days back, and he went through all the appropriate steps to get into this country back in 1989. It sounded like a success story, too: he has two children, both went to university, and one has a good government job. He said he was even a grandfather now. Nice guy.

What more does one need to know, AI? How about that you don't need a visa to come here from Mexico? Good start?

Hey, JJ, are you back? Don't tell me they have wireless outside US, except perhaps in Ulan Bataar.

No visa to get from Mexico here? I thought you need one Europe. So what do you need? Just a pair of shoes?

Shoes optional too. If these guys had shoes there'd be no reason to come here.
