We have a few people taking advantage of huge mass of uneducated non-english speaking foreigners who think they are fighting for their rights, when in fact they are fighting to legalize their own enslavement.

It's no longer "our" government. We the people can no longer lobby the government. Only foreign governments like the dubai ports thing, china, and mexico can lobby our government. Time and time again they go against the wishes of the American people.

You don't see a problem with Vicente Fox successfully lobbying against the wishes of the American people?
