THE U.S. VS MEXICO**> >

**On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at> the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even> though most lived in this country. They booed during the National> Anthem**** and ****U.S.**** flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, ****supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon.** **Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of> the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have> ever had in this profession."

Corporate America has ****signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status.**

Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many> more.

**Did you know ... that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals?

How's your county doing? According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. ****

"Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and> motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English.
