What do we have against Chinese at this point ? They are the fastest
growing economic force - seems smarter to learn Chinese than Spanish at
this point.

Happy Year of the Rooster


At this point in time, the chinese goverment holds over 40% of our debt.
At this point china has taken over more of our manufacturing jobs than all
of south america combined. Soon we will have to learn chinese just to do
business in this global market. China will be the next global super power
and we will be the ones to fund their abillity to become that. At least
mexico is a democracy (for what it's worth), but yet we ship millions of
dollars to a communist country everyday. Wasn't communism the enemy just
15 years ago? Don't we still punish cuba for being communist still to this
day? I just doesn't make sense to me to be anti-mexican and pro-chinese.

Don't you mean being anti-cuban and pro-chinese (or pro-vietnamese)?

And so much for Mexico being pro-democracy - what about how Fox is
sending all his unemployment problems to the US to steal jobs from US
citizens or leagl immigrants so that the money can be sent back to
Mexico to bail out their economy? And what about the lawless zones - up
to 50 miles from the US border - where Americans get kidnapped and held
for ransom, and Mexican drug kingpins who are hiring Mexican Special
FOrces troops to protect them and their drug shipments?

I say **** em all - keep the jobs and the money over here, control
immigration, and license and don't sell out our technology.
