Oh, that's right, he didn't. After all, it's not like they are our closest neighbor. Also, all these people are potentially "illegal".

1. I'm sure the WH press will tell us that Bush shed tears and felt real bad
for the suffering in Mexico in an upcoming WH press release meant to humanize him.

2. At Least He Is Consistent
Bush did the same thing when Hurrican Katrina hit New Orleans.

He said nothing.

After all, to him, all people of color -- whether in New Orleans or in Mexico -- are just unimportant.

3. NOW can we call them refugees?
I've thought of them as economic refugees for almost a decade now, but I seem to be alone in that.

Grinding poverty and leadership that would be just as happy to see them gone--hmm, sound strangely familiar...

4. I'm watching on BBC International right now
I imagine Bush and his corporate cronies are thinking even cheaper labor.
