Ok, just for fun, and momentarily disregarding any exploitive aspects of the migrations, look at at various "immigrant" groups and their entrance to the US, and how, as a whole, the group has fared. Anglo-Saxon types, continental europeans entered East, via Ellis Island or East Coast. Generally did well. Hispanics from Mexico and South America, entering from the South have not historically done so well. Blacks, via forced migration, aka slavery, often entered from the South, via Cuba and Carribean slave trading / holding centers, or via major river ports, e.g., New Orleans and Mississippi gateway. Historically have not done so well. Asian immigrants entering from the West. Have done OK, better than those entering from the South. Multi-stop immigrants, migrating to Canada, then entering US from the North, have done pretty well, as have long-resident Canadians. And one of the largest current terrorist threats are terrorists entering the US via the Southern borders, within groups of illegal hispanic entrants. ------------------------ Yahoo!
