Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

INS is screwed up, as is much of our government. No doubt about that. I
have plenty of personal experience with the INS to confirm your
assertion. I'm not clear on how that is relevant to the question of who
should be permitted to immigrate to the US, or what to do with those who
decide to do so illegally.

Stop them. Turn them back. Return them.

That's your answer to the question. It doesn't explain how you arrived at
that answer, nor does it explain how the abilities or lack thereof within
the INS are relevant.

Three points:
1. "INS is screwed up, as is much of our government. No doubt about
that."
Total 2003 estimated numbers of "illegals" is a GOVERNMENT driven number.
I chose to believe my own lying eyes.

The INS isn't the one doing the estimation. You have a better number, with
published methodology for how it was determined? I'm all ears.

2. What do you see more of when you're out and about - babies or Mexicans?
Between 1947 and 1967 that answer would have been babies. g

For me, it's still babies. The numbers support this observation as well. I
didn't bother to check the numbers for specific states...perhaps the
relative balance in California, Arizona, etc. is different. But overall,
there are still FAR more babies around than there are immigrants, illegal or
otherwise.

3. I've lived next to the Mississippi River all of my life - "flooding" is
not a vague term

Sorry...I didn't realize you were talking about liquified illegal
immigrants. I didn't even realize they existed.

You'd think an event like that would gain some sort of national attention,
but I've yet to hear about it. Everyone's basements getting filled up with
liquid immigrants and all. Seems like all the news media companies would
want to cover that.

You're in love with the numbers, but unfortunately, lost in them too. The
parade is over here, Pete.

You are the one who started with the numbers, not I. It just happens that
your numbers were bull****, while mine actually have some basis in fact.
I'm not in love with them; I just hate to see someone else abusing them.
