Billy Minx in Channelview. Texas. emailed me on Tuesday. This is what he had to say about those illegally in America: "In the recent immigration protests. the first protests showed the true intent of the mass of these illegal immigrants. The overwhelming majority of the flags were Mexican flags. These people are loyal to Mexico. I have a neighbor down the street who is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Mexico. and he flat out told me if the U.S. and Mexico were at war with each other. he would fight for Mexico. "We may be a Nation of immigrants. but the majority of Americans were born here and their parents were born here. My great. great. great. great. great Grandfather John C. Hale was killed at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 defeating Santa Anna and Mexico (and thus making Texas an independent country).
