T. Hawk and El Fuerte
A Mexican and a Native American in stereotypical outfits with poor English grammar? Cooking time? Ho? Can we say, "Adios, amigos"?

Superman
The Man of Steel arrived in the U.S. illegally and without applying for amnesty, and just like the missionaries in Haiti, his parents kept the baby without telling authorities. He should be the first to go. Adios, Kal-El. Man-of-Tomorrow? More like one more burrito, por flavor.

With Arizona being the state where McCain is a Senator, it makes me wonder where immigration policy would be Federally if he had won.

I'm glad we had that Note from the editor, otherwise I'd be concerned that Bitmob would be OK with deporting Superman... 



I kid.

Big ups for Juan on the front page.



As a Canadian that knew more Indians and South Africans more than good ol' Newfoundland kids while growing up, I shake my head at immigration laws. Law makers should instead ask themselves "How can we make current forms of immigration legal?" instead of worrying about who is in a country and what laws those people are violating due to their very presence.

I live in Tucson. I am moving to Cali soon but this subject has turned my co-workers against each other. It is getting weird here.

I hate to get in the way of gold old fashioned hyperbole, but you could at least read the legislation before panning it. You can't be stopped and asked <nazi voice>Papers...</nazi voice> just like that. You have to have some OTHER issue with the law first. Think of it like seat belt laws. Yes, not wearing a seatbelt is illegal in most states, but the cop has to stop you for something else to check it.





While we're on the subject of 'papers' I get asked for them all the time. When I buy alcohol, I must show my 'papers' to prove I'm old enough. When I use my credit card, I must show my 'papers' to prove it's mine. And god help me if I get stopped for a traffic violation, then I have to show all KINDS of 'papers': registration, insurance, license. When I bought a house? Holy crap, now THAT was a request for papers.



BTW: Article is still funny... but I WANT Nico deported. Would YOU want to live near that guy?

One notable video-game character I left off -- Speedy Gonzales, who always running from authorities and is the bane of existence of gringo pussy gato who either wanted to eat or make love to the fastest mouse all of Mexico.
