Dear President Bush, Perhaps you know me from my work. I wrote and directed the movies "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals." ...As one of the very few directors of major motion pictures who sees you in a different light, I implore you to listen seriously to what I have to say...
...What is happening on the southern border is unprecedented. Not only in our own history, but in the history of the world. No country at any time anywhere has sustained the influx of tens of millions of foreigners across its borders...
...It may already be too late to avoid a future annexation of the Southwest by Mexico or the evolution of a Mexican-dominated satellite state. This is not to say Mexican people are better or worse than any of God's children. It is to say that millions of ethnically and culturally homogeneous people will seek self-determination in a land they will increasingly feel justified in claiming as their own. Especially when the natural weight of demographic change is accompanied by the soundtrack of radical demagoguery which seeks to legitimize and moralize this phenomenon as a "reconquista." Many pundits claim you will be remembered in history as the president who won (or lost) the war in Iraq. I see it differently. I believe you will come to be seen, in the years and decades to come, as the President who saved (or lost) the Southwest of the United States...

"I believe you will come to be seen, in the years and decades to come, as the President who saved (or lost) the Southwest of the United States..."
Actually, there is no way that Bush will ever be seen as the president who "saved" the Southwest' he has too much of his considerable ego invested in his misguided plan to erase our southern border. Most of our presidents from Kennedy on have taken an approach of moderately benign neglect to the problem of illegal immigration; Bush will be remembered in history as the first president to actually side with the Mexican government and tell Americans that THEY, not the people entering illegally, were the problem.
