06/12/07 Mexico's True Colors

The lovely Rachel Smith was crowned Miss Universe recently amid loud boo's in Mexico City. Miss Smith, who says she won't be returning to Mexico anytime soon, was subjected to prejudice on her visit to the country not because she is bi-racial but because she is happens to be an American . While the flood of illegal immigrants continues to deplete our health, schools and social services, while we freely hand out benefits to aliens who refuse to learn our language, our neighbors to the South obviously can't stand us. Imagine for a moment the global outcry if Americans treated a Mexican beauty contestant visiting the US with such disrespect! This is nothing new, in 1993 Mexicans booed an earlier Miss. USA, three years ago, they degraded our US soccer team . Donald Trump who happens to own the Miss. Universe pageant remarked to a New York Times reporter that he was nervous the audience would storm the stage calling the level of hostility toward our country "amazing'. I call it "amazing" that we benignly continue to harbor people this hostile towards our country.
