    This is a wonderfull letter, thank you for writting in. In the best
    sense this is true Orchid. Keep writting the citizenry of the US is
    historically xenophobic and the history of the world already has many
    examples of what happens when this becomes acute. I think the main
    problem with most US citizens is lack of travel and education to
    understand where in the world we fit and that we don't own the
    planet. 

    Living on the US Mexico border is interesting. It is in many ways a
    militarized border already. I don't understand how the US govenment
    keeps the idea that we can block South American labor from entering
    and still maintain the economy we enjoy. I feel it is the law
    enforcement business that keeps it going, there is just too much
    money being spent for that business to want it to stop. The war on
    drugs is a sad, constant reminder of this. 

    The prices for illegal drugs has plummeted since the war began
    meaning that the supplies are even more plentiful. Feelings aside,
    your use of US government statistics is wonderfull and telling.
