Wow!
I am appalled at the racist comments here. Some people are crossing the line big time in their prejudices against hispanics. For the guy accussing Mr. Richardson's mother of coming here to have her son born here, I would ask: were your ancestors always born here or did they come from some where else too? How much hypocritical can you be? Weren't most of the immigrants that came over the last 150 years or so illegal for the most part? Do your homework and study immigration history befor spewing out your racist venom.
Now, I am not in support of open borders and letting millions of people cross yearly without papers, but we must be realistic and acknowledge the fact that there are untold millions of people in this country without papers. These people are not going anywhere and it is ludicrous to propose mass deportations and the like. The sensible thing is to try to identify these people. I give credit to governor Richardson for standing up to the ignorant mass and coming up with ideas to solve this crisis. I was also impressed with governor Spitzer last week but am disappointed now after he caved in to the mass in New York and backtracked on a similar proposal to grant driver licenses.
