But even if Mexico's first-response report card is mixed, its follow-through since then has won praise from health officials both at the WHO and in developed countries like the U.S. As of Friday, the country had begun setting up reliable testing labs; and of the first 776 suspected cases they'd analyzed (there are about 1,500 total), 358 were confirmed as swine flu, with 16 deaths...

...said a long time ago that the reality of identifying and returning to their country of origin the X million of illegals who are here is a fantasy. We need to face up to the reality that Congress and Presidents since the mid-80s have failed to deal with the issue. Now is an opportunity to forge a bipartisan solution. We need to find some way to legalize their presence; not [by] granting them citizenship-we may put them at the end of the line-but not [by] sending them all back...
